1942 CHEVROLET CCKW MILITARY PICKUP

Details

This CCKW military truck was originally from Quonset Point Military Base in Rhode Island. It was eventually sold to the Boy Scout Camp at Yawgoo Valley Ski Resort also located in Rhode Island. The Boy Scouts used it as a fire truck. The truck was found inside a barn at Yawgoo with 7,000 original miles and in 95% original condition. Purchased from the Boy Scouts, it underwent a complete body-off restoration. The exterior was refinished and painted Acura Paradise Blue Green Pearl. The side steps,

front brush guard, bumpers and headlights were painted black. The 20' steel rims were painted the body color with black centers to match. It rides on Armstrong Military tires in the front and the rear dual tires are 40' Goodyears. The fold-out front windshield creates additional airflow. The rear taillights are from a newer-style Chevrolet truck. A custom-made, mortise-and-tenon, solid-oak flatbed utilizes wood dowels throughout and was finished with clear poly. The interior has been completely painted the same color as the exterior and features new black headliner, seat and carpet. The dash gauges are original with the exception of the fuel and temperature gauges. The original steering wheel, door handles, levers and pedals are in great condition. Painted and nicely detailed, the engine compartment is home to the completely rebuilt original 216ci 6-cylinder engine that runs great and is mated to the stock 4-speed manual transmission with a high-low transfer case. The ignition system was converted to 12-volt with the addition of an alternator. It's equipped with the optional oil filter and a heavy-duty radiator. The undercarriage is also nicely detailed, and the entire chassis was cleaned and painted black. Both the front and rear wheel drive is original. This truck has recently been completely serviced and detailed, which is fully documented with an invoice. It has 8,834 original miles (mileage not indicated on ownership documents). From the MS Classic Cars Collection. **SOLD AS A PAIR WITH LOT 365.2**
