Here's a pic of my CCKW compressor truck which arrived on Wednesday from Northern California! It still needs a bit of work though..

Just a quick list of what needs to be done...

Wiring harness, need three more matching hold-downs for the toolboxes, need to replace right rear toolbox lid with one that matches the left (three welds broken already), need to do some bodywork on the middle toolbox and also under the front left fender, need to take out both radiators on the compressor to be completely cleaned and rebuilt...

And a lot of other small stuff...

Another project on top of everything else....

Wow, what a great looking truck. Are you going to bring this to Tower Park? I would love to see it in person.
