Perfect PBS voice you have.👍

I was told that DUKW stands for Detroit United Kaiser Works....

Studebakers (even the fiberglass Avanti) were notorious rust-buckets.

Good video showing why that front splash shield exist.

Thanks for that ,learnt a lot . Went on one as a kid in the 50's in the UK when they were a " beach ride attraction ,usually painted up in " attractive colours ! " They seemed to do good business with the tourists !

Has anyone yet built their own weasel from scratch? Does anyone have enough drawings or blueprints to begin such a project, perhaps substituting some more modern and readily available parts from other machines such as snowmobiles or track hoes etc.,? Perhaps even some significant improvements such as a modern 4 or inline 6 cylinder engine and automatic transmission. It seems to me it could be a great fun project! I would love to do so myself, even creating drawings from pictures or whatever, I'm sure exact dimensions would not be important since it would be a new and improved machine and most if not all parts would not be OEM. That said, I would think such a machine would be worthy still of the weasel name. Perhaps even built for less $ than if sourced from collectors and having to be restored

This guy is having the time of his life! Cannonball!

For some reason, everytime I watch this my brain has a fart. Objects like these shouldnt float yet here we are.

Hard to imagine men slowing approaching a contested beach head in that thing😮‍💨🔥

I wonder how far you can go in this

I wonder what various other vehicles that are similar to this also exist.

Very well done video❤ found it interesting and calming to watch.

Thinking about buying one

1967. Alaska. Rebuild. Studdy engine. sold it 1973.

Hi I am helping restore one of these at the moment I am looking for photos of behind the drive's compartment in the corners both sides to help me repair it's had some old poor repairs there can you help me thanks Glen

I never saw that style/size anphib. I know about the Alligator and Amtrack used in the Pacific WWII campaign.

My Gramps drove one, second wave, D-day.... Good video.... Glad you kept it in war specs...

I don't why, for the life of me, a thought of a DUKW entered my head? I was simply watching an unrelated TH-cam video and up it popped, So, I'm now pushing 77 years and as a child in the early 50's, I remember being on holiday somewhere here in the UK. We went on a ;pleasure ride' in one at whatever seaside resort we were at. It's one of those memories we take with us 'til we pass. Thank you for sharing.

Push it OUT OF THE C130C PONTOON VERSION!!! THROW SOME "PINS" IN AND LAUNCH A STARLINK OFF IT!!!

Think it had special valves on it’s tires for sand/beach use and road/harbour , softer for beach use

These are some of the coolest vehicles every made imo and by gm nonetheless. You sir a one lucky Dukw to have one!

One of the coolest trucks of WWII, and so great to see it used. Thanks for sharing!!

My dad one like this.

Pretty cool. It looks like an Amtrak Spyder. Lol

I'm amused by the fact that the M-29 started out as the T-15 and they reversed the passenger compartment of the tub and made it run "backwards" in the M-29 configuration. Great video, thanks for sharing.

i could have bought one running and driving two years ago, but didnt have 4500.00

I never been jealous until now 😅

Another fantastic video! Did you restore both the DUKW and the Weasel? John in Texas

Fantastic video! Kudos for the restoration, especially considering the vehicles rarity-John in Texas

Very cool. Always loved these. Great video! I was surprised to learn the engine was not diesel.

Very cool

Fantastic machine. Thank you for sharing this. Foggy.

I love DUKW's!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

I need u big guys burns it downs

Good Morning sir hope al is well. I am writing a screen play about smuggling across the Detroit River into Windsor and have included a DUKW as a transport vehicle for one of my heros. I'd really enjoying a conversation with you, if you're available to discuss the possibility of having your vehicle in the Movie... this will be a Canadian Production. Thank you in advance. Steve

Oh, that event looks like great fun. I only wish I could afford a Weasel!

NICE TOY.

Sir, you need to locate a 'surf board' for the bow of your machine. I can see the latches are still on your hood, you just need to find one. Sure would help keep the waves off your front deck. Good job on your restoration. Tighten up that cable on the spool, don't forget heavy leather gloves!! Thanks!! Ooooops, later in the vid I see there is a surf board! So now I know you know! Thanks again,

Nicely restored vehicle sir. Well done 👍

My grandpa has one in his junkyard. He collects old trucks and war memorabilia.

looks like a model

Thanks for info..now i know how it works

Thank you for this video! My father drove a DUKW to Easy Green Sector of Omaha Beach on D-Day, while with the 460th Amphibian Truck Company of the Sixth Engineer Special Brigades...

If I had the room and resources, a Weasel would definitely reside next to my Corvette and my El Camino. Thank you for putting this video together. Well done, sir Well done.

My late grandfather was a Korean War veteran, who told me he was one of the guys who instructed others on how to use them. I don't know what unit he was with but it was a story that stuck with me because he just kept referring to them as "the ducks". I had no idea one of them was so close to where I live, let alone a functional one! On my way home from work this morning, I was just thinking about how I'd like to find one and restore it to running condition as a way to connect with him. Semper Fi, Grandpa. I miss you.

Cool...👍👍

Besi aja bisa berenang masak gw kaga

Well done Brock !!
