@@vintagearthur918 Does it have a 24 volt system like many old military vehicles? These things I have to learn if I attempt to run this cool old relic.
@@zeketheantiquefreak8518 Most military vehicles in WW2 came with 6 volt systems from Jeep to DUKW and a method of hank cranking because battery capacity proved insufficient, particularly in cold weather. Most converted to 12 volt post war. Take out a bulb and read what is stamped on it to find the voltage or, test on a 12 volt battery. The driver's handbooks sometimes appear on E-bay.
WOW - let me adopt it !!
Very nice, seen pictures of them over the years but never know it is a Ford and as a bonus it have the legendary flat head V8 in
Yea, a piece of Allied history that I would like to know more about. Thank you for the comment.

@@chriscamp8608 It is not my unit to say, but hey, contact me in the spring when the snow is gone, and I will take a bunch of pictures for you...
Building one at the moment - Chevy version with a Stovebolt six. 🤓
I wonder how many of them are left out of the thousands that were built?

@@dukwdriver2909 Good advice... Thank you for the comment.
I always wanted one of them to build into a firewood truck lol!
Yea, I am thinking it would go through a fair amount of scrub...
