WWII Weekend, St. Louis April 2010

Post by Hammerhead »

I wanted to post several pictures of my CCKW at the WWIIWE. It was rainy,stormy and even had a tornado warning Sat afternoon with the tornado coming very close to the park! If I had any doubts about this truck's ability to pull thru deep mud in 6X6 there was no doubt after that weekend. The picture of the vehicle lineup was before the first spectator batle. I had a full load of troops and had to follow a tank and halftrack on a path thru a wooded area. The ruts they cut were 15-18 inches deep and my CCKW had no problems! When I got home though, it took around four hours to get it cleaned up again!
