OK, I will ask: The bracket across the frame is for a stablizer I think so you would have the same on the other side, so where is/was the fuel tank?

[mick.wilson]

It is there Doc, looks like a workshop fuel tank

[John V Cliche]

Mick, what about the tracked vehicle next to it...the track profile looks like a German production, is it ?

[mick.wilson]

Me and Bill was wondering what it was It's in Sweden if that gives you any clues

[mick.wilson]

Just been told the tank is a Swedish Pvkv m/43

[Bill_Wolf]

Now back to the CCKW.

Mick how far past VE day is the crane setup. Was it Swedish Military or a Civy Convert.

This basic truck with all it's adaptations never ceases to amaze me.

[John V Cliche]

Thanks Mick,
The 514th is pretty quick delivering answers as well

Cheers
John

Yeah...lets stop foolin' around and get that Yellow Tanker done!

[mick.wilson]

My friend Mats said "I think this is the Swedish version,to put it on a GMC" the rear wheel arches on this one look very post war?

[Bill_Wolf]

Mick,

I like it.

What is the capacity of the crane. Any dataplates on the crane part?

[mick.wilson]

Looking at my manual (if it's the same Quickway crane as my one) "Maximum load with outriggers 13,000lb's" at 10' radius

[dr deuce]

Are you sure you have the right crane-truck? That is a LOT for a CCKW chassis. My Schield-Bantam is only good for 6,000 lbs max with the boom in close. Remember, that is the truck, crane and 13,000 lbs load.

Quickway also made the one on the 6 ton Brockway truck of WW2. Maybe those are the specs/crane you are looking at?

Yeah...lets stop foolin' around and get that Yellow Tanker done!

It is gonna be OD!

Maybe John didn't read the bill of sale when I sold it to him and the "conditions in the 'when restored paint color section'.....

[mick.wilson]

Are you sure you have the right crane-truck?

Not sure Doc, as I said 13,000lb's in my maual but only if it's the same Quickway crane as my one, I did not know they make smaller ones.
Looking at the boom it don't look as chuncky as my one.
