IS YOUR CCKW ALL THERE?

Post by joel gopan »

How many have a CCKW that is not missing any Olive Drab parts that it left the factory with? This is the fun part that I enjoy, this past weekend I replaced the NOS CJ3A JEEP Ammeter I installed in 1985 with a NOS AC Ammeter out of the original box. This completes the Dash wth all GMC Parts, now for the Weatherstrip that seals the outer Windshield frame to the top of the dash on the Open Cab. It takes years and patience to complete a CCKW, some parts are found by accident, and there will be some items you will not realize you are missing. The AC Ammeter is interesting, as it is more lively than some of the other brands.

Thanks for the info Joel. It is fun to slowly upgrade your truck. Of course anything was an upgrade to my truck. :D
