Bart Vanderven published photos of these in books from the Olyslager Library. Fred Crismon showed them in his "Military Wheeled Vehicles".

Hi Jerry,

From the one photo I have seen of the DCKW in the book "GMC a Universal Truck" it was based on a non winch chassis but had a winch fitted.I assume this required the engine to be mounted further back in the chassis.do you have the tech specs on the truck? what type of winch was fitted?

What cowl was used? from the pic I think the front sheetmetal was made specifically for the DCKW.

Matt.

Hi Jerry
According to Vanderveen's Fighting Vehicles Directory WW11 GMC built
several similar experimental prototypes in 42/43 designated DCKW-3 DAKW-602 and DOKW-602. Studebaker also produced 3 different prototypes and International produced 1. Sorry no pics as I haven't got a scanner.

Cheers
