Hi Folks, I am new 353 owner, having just brought one back from Norway.
I am interested to know if there are any other CCKW owners fairly close to me, I am near Stratford upon Avon.
Also, can anyone tell me who the best parts suppliers are?
Cheers
Jem

Hello Jem,
Welcome, and congrats on your purchase!! I'm sure you will enjoy it.
You are most fortunate in that most of the parts for CCKWs are actually on your side of the Atlantic. One, Rex Ward, is actually pretty close to you (if I read my UK map correctly). He specializes in DUKWs, but I have purchased a number of hard to find CCKW parts from him in the past. He is a super nice guy and very knowledgeable.
His website is: http://www.dukw.co.uk/
Another great source is in NL: https://www.wildenbergparts.nl/
Their website does not have a comprehensive list of CCKW parts, but don't let that fool you - they have a lot of inventory. They frequently sell on ebay, or you can just email them directly with what you are looing for. Also super nice guys & very helpful.
Take care and good luck with your new/old truck!
Best Regards...

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the message. Be great to see your truck, I'm only in Henley in Arden so not far at all.
My number is 07824 901833, give me a call and maybe we can get a coffee.
Is your open or closed cab?
Cheers
Jem
