    The GMC CCKW, better known as the "Jimmy", was built in large numbers during WWII and saw Service in every theater of Allied operation. The truck was powered by a 270 cubic inch GMC six cylinder gasoline engine and utilized a 5 speed progressive transmission built by either Clark or Borg-Warner. Two different types of axles and transfer cases were simultaneously installed in these trucks with one manufacturer being Timken, and the other being Dana. The most famous example of use for the GMC CCKW was the "Red Ball Express" , whereupon thousands of these trucks were arranged in convoys across Europe to feed the Allies fuel and supplies for the war effort. It is a great honor to drive such a relic as this. Thanks for watching, and Keep'em Rolling!

    That truck is a beast. It has an inline 6 cylinder with really low gears.

    Had one of these years age. The 270 was as stuck as any engine I've ever seen. Bought a 302 to put in it. Upon taking it apart it was bored 0.060 with at least .020 taper on the cylinders. Sold the truck, and, of course I regret it now. Love your yard, looks like heavens playground to me!

    If you've got a spare set of troop seats/cargo racks for a CCKW-353 I'd love to hear from you. Might be a good reason to take an Alaskan vacation.
