Hello everyone!

Post by Abram J »

Hey guys and gals! I'm a fan of the CCKW and most everything WWII. I'm hoping to perhaps be a re-enactor someday, and maybe even owning a vehicle or two.

I've always wanted a Ford GPW Jeep (blasphemy I know! although if anyone knows where I could get one [preferrably in AZ] thats not too expensive [under $5000] I'd love to know!).
I've also always been fascinated by the CCKW, unfortunatly I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to own one (no room or money for one :( )

I do, though, build plastic model kits as part of my hobby, and soon will be building a model of the CCKW open cab truck (boy am I glad I found this site, so much reference material!). I'll post pics of my little truck for sure!

I live in the hot state of Arizona, and would love to hear from anyone else who might live in the state, maybe we could meet up and I could see these wonderful trucks in person for the first time.

It's always been a dream of mine to own a Jeep and CCKW fully restored to WWII specs, maybe, someday, that dream might come true... :)
