Hello from Sweden

Post by kirr »

I have read a lot on this messageboard for some time. Lots of help and so much historic info. I really wants to thank you all for info and help with my CCKW.
Have a really great summer with lots of driving in our wonderful vehicles.
Any other Swedes around? Doesnt seems to be so many CCKW's in Sweden.

Hello kirr and welcome! I'm not from Sweden but just across the Baltic Sea, from Finland. I think there are many CCKW's in Sweden, but maybe their owners are not that active here. You have so many jeeps and historic Volvos and other interesting vehicles there, so much to own and restore, so maybe the CCKW's aren't so visible. Nice to have You here, valkommen!

Greetings, Arthur

Welcome to the site. I have a friend in Northern Sweden named Jan Bruman and he has several CCKW's he bought in Norway. I will look up his address for you and maybe you two can contact each other.

Thats great Tony. Jan used one of his CCKW's to haul firewood, surplus items he has bought and other things, as one would use a modern truck. He is into old vehicles and has several Dodges. Fords and Volvo vehicles. I will get you his email address this weekend. :D
