Hi Jerry,

Good to have you! that D4 looks like a good project,there's an ex Corps of Engineers D4 near here which is rotting away but the owner won't sell it.

Hi Jerry,

I saw your post on G503 about your DCKW project.do you know the chassis numbers of the three? I'm guessing they were CCKW prefix if standard CCKW chassis were used? or were the chassis for the DCKW specially built?

it's a shame GM are not more open with their WW2 records.
