CCKW 352 SPARE TIRE LOCKS

Post by joel gopan »

The CCKW 352 SWB used two unique Spare Tire Locks with chain that had special Nuts that the lock clamped onto. I have not been able to find detailed pictures of this lock, but inspection of factory photos of new CCKW 352 Trucks reveal that a lock is present. I would love to buy or trade NOS rare CCKW parts for these locks.

Not really, but I located a gentleman that claims to have some of the components. These are the things that were not too active in Army inventory, and got sort of overlooked by post war surplus dealers as they were very insignificant, and most probably did not know what they had and ignored them.
