I believe that was the winner of the 2 1/2 ton class at Gilbert last year.

This picture is a perfect example of why Blue Drab paint was used. Can you read the registration? (Yes it is TM9 Blue Drab paint)

Actually this picture does not do this truck justice. It is one of the best CCKW restorations I have ever seen. It is extremely clean and is mechanically a real gem. Paul

I will agree with Paul. A truly beautiful truck.

The picture was taken at the Rainy Aberdeen event. The lighting was horrible so the picture is dark.

Hopefully the owner will send on another shot taken in the sunlight.

The Ma Deuce is a propane unit. He made up a canvas cover with stenciling to cover the bottles. Very nice job.

Yes, this is the same one that one at the Red Ball Show in Gilbert, PA last year. You can't imagine what it looked like before he did the restoration. The cab was actually crushed down a good number of inches. I watched it come back to life and nothing was overlooked. It is a top notch job and very mechanically sound.

GREAT JOB!!
