GMC CCKW , Studebaker US6 , Chevy G506 , Marmon Herrington KMM5 Ford , deuce and half WWII 6x6 and 4x4 trucks. They all run #cckw #studebakertruck #g506
I love the calm of the video, too many times music is used as the backdrop of the video, here it is simply the yard and the trucks that convey the scene. Good work also amazing trucks.
That's a nice collection you got there. Wish I had a backyard full of old trucks. Fix them all and getting them looking like they just got out of the factory.
Oh my stares I would give anything to have any one of those beautiful old trucks to restore and use! Music to my ears, there is nothing like the sound of vintage craftsmanship of old horsepower at its finest! Awesome share!
Hey, you live in Paradise :-) :-) Thanks for sharing ! It's like I'm there in reality, looking at details, hearing the sounds :-) :-) :-) I'm a CCKW lover since I was 6 years old and first saw one passing by..... And now I'm 57 of age.... and still love them so much
Love it! So many Chevy's, GMC's, and Studebaker's. I own a GMC and a Chevy but i need a bed for my Chevy 1.5 ton. So glad I got to see your collection.
Lots of Studebakers there. They were used extensively in the construction of the ALCAN highway. We also sent them to Soviet Union via the Lend Lease program. The Russians loved them, and called them Studers.
great video. I like that they all run. that's rare. a labor of love, yes sir. probably doesn't even feel like work. it must be a thrill to crank one up after sitting for awhile, and take it for a spin around the property. keep up the great work you are doing, and thanks for sharing.
Good to see so many still run. If you have a good old machine that you will be parking for a while, attach some anode zincs in many places. That will really help control the corrosion ! ! ! It works on boats, it works really well on vehicles and equipment too.
Wow this is awesome . I am only 16 and recently perch aced a old military truck like these. Mine is a 1943 international fire truck. It was going to be crushed. It runs and will be a good project. It's on my youtube channel if you want to look at it. I love your collection
I can understand why none have been restored! The cost of replacing all that dry-rotted rubber alone,would empty my bank account! Must be fun running around to keep them happy.
Love this video, Loved to the see the Studebaker US6. My granddad used to drive one, on the farm, where he worked in the 1950's, in the U.K . Hercules engine sounds good. I'd say that the Studebaker looks a better vehicle, than the Jimmy, and really looks good and sounds good for a 70 year old truck, or lorry as we say in the U.K
I liked the Chevrolet (GMC?) cabover at 7:56. Yeah, I know; but, before you get too rough on me... ...I own a Kaiser/Jeep XM-811A five-ton van (Cummins NHC 250), and it was the daily driver for my wife and me for several years. We still drive it to go camping, in parades, and so on, but, thankfully, we no longer have to spend twenty dollars for enough diesel to go buy groceries. Economy (?!??!!) is 4.2 MPG, and the (ten (10) @ $400) tires are good for about 15,000 miles. Say what you will, but driving a military truck on a daily basis is hard-core!
+EdWatts Dad bought the GMC Cab-over brand new in 1973. The truck had a 2700 gallon propane tank on it and made us a lot of money over the years. It has a 5 speed trans , air brakes , two speed axle and 427 engine (probably its third or fourth one). In the nineties my Uncle put the boom on the truck when the propane tank was removed and the truck was retired. I have a lot of fond memories riding with Dad on trips to Kenai in that truck when I was a kid. Its hard to believe the unit is over 40 years old now , yet it handles the boom very well and is still a good solid truck. Thanks for watching!
A Mighty Salute to you for your awesome trucks an dedication Sir! I cant wait to get an old beat up vehicle one day to fix up an make run as a project and love for it, only problem is i dont know much about fixing cars or theyre parts an i'd love to learn. Family i grew up in wasn't into cars or engines and i am so unfortunately an naturally dont have that knowledge that i wish i did. Didnt get to grow up with it like some people get to do. I love anything to do with offroading aswell an it'd be sweet to build up an old truck or car to do that one day, you know like take an old muscle car an lift it something an put some rugged offroad tires on it or build some kind of crazy contraption to offroad with. Just wish i had a mentor to teach me whats what with cars
itsbasil1126 You might try and get a part-time job at a wrecking yard, wont pay much but you can sure learn a lot. I also highly recommend tech school, youll find that it applies to a lot more than just vehicles. Thanks for watching!
They look like in very good shape ...meaning . little rust rot .. Great to see them running ....amazing engineering that helped build north America....wow
will they e for sale when i'm old enough to come to Alaska!! I'm not even old enough to drive and i'm already drooling over them!! Keep up the good work mate and sweet video:) Gotta love old trucks (especially powerwagons!!)
There were so many of these trucks in Europe after the war that the Germans actually began retrofitting them with diesels and a wider cab - some of which were crew cabs. Keep'em Rolling!
with these guys on t.v. redoing old cars, working miracles it would be nice to show how to realistically repower and modernise these trucks, yknow small bocks and adapter plate kits,12 volt conversions etc . then regular guys can get them going and put them back to reliable and functional for work and play, i used to see them made into log skidders, all the towns pushed snow with them. get another 15 years out of them without making some thing that sells for 35 grand on barrett jackson. thanks guy bill h.
Most of the guys on TV have no taste and ruin the classics. A modern drivetrain repower like an EFI crate v8 in Mustang or Camaro that once had a worn out 6 cylinder is one thing. However, taking the inline 6 out of one of these old warhorses would be like neutering it. Even if you threw a 700HP v8 under the hood it would never quite have the same class, character, attitude, and most important, the same reliability that those old inline 6's have. I've seen many trucks, even some older than the 1940's that sat for decades and still fired right up with some fresh gas and a new battery. EFI equipped engines are a nightmare to bring back to life once they've sat a long period of time. Hell, they're a nightmare to keep on the road even if you drive them every day.
Jim Garrison I wouldn't say that, I've seen TBI 305s and 350s run 500,000 miles with 1 overhaul(bearings, rings, pistons, oil pump, .010 overbore, new studs and wrist pins.)
Nice video of your stable and nags Alaska Trucker. Your gems must have been used on the Al-Can Hwy. build back in the day. I must say that I am envious of all your nice toys. I have been restoring WW2 trucks for almost 20 yrs. I have restored 4 Chevy G-506's, 3 G.M.C. G-508's, several 1/2 ton Dodge trucks and own a 1941 - 1/2 ton Command Car. Where are all the military issue beds for your trucks though?
the one that I like is the one with the modern military bed. just wondering how much did it cost you to get the truck and parts? I might have to get a power wagon and put a bed like that in it.
I am going to Alaska to visit some family this summer and have always wanted a ww2 deuce and a half, being a ww2 reanactor. would you ever think about selling one?
Thats a good question. The logic for two rear drive shafts was in the event that one rear drive shaft was lost the truck would still have 2/3 of its drive potential remaining (remember it has a shaft for the steer axle too). A 6x6 truck that was designed with only a single rear shaft would lose 2/3 of its drive potential if the rear shaft were lost which might render it useless on the battlefield. Thanks for watching!
1 is a Chevy G506 the others with flat fenders are Studebaker US6 and the rest are GMC CCKW's and one is the rare GMC CCW (no front drive axle) Thanks for watching!
War chariots that breathe fire: More of our videos: www.youtube.com/@AlaskaTrucker/videos Thanks for watching!

Great collection of old trucks I love it that some are still running !
A great bit of our history in those old trucks !! Thanks ..
That's not a salvage yard, it's a play ground! Love the burbling motors, very cool.
Good to see so many still run.
If you have a good old machine that you will be parking for a while, attach some anode zincs in many places.
That will really help control the corrosion ! ! !
It works on boats, it works really well on vehicles and equipment too.
I bet many of your early CCKW's and Chevy's got used on the Alcan .I always love your videos and commend you for saving these old soldiers of steel.
gotta love the ol trucks when you find them. Im always keeping my eyes pealed in hopes to spot em. Thanks for sharing
Wow this is awesome . I am only 16 and recently perch aced a old military truck like these. Mine is a 1943 international fire truck. It was going to be crushed. It runs and will be a good project. It's on my youtube channel if you want to look at it. I love your collection
what makes this all the remarkable..these old warriors are in Alaska...wow..
Studebaker WWII Army truck very rare!
Im jealous who ever owns all those trucks is a lucky man
need a drool towel....love the old trucks.....
Lots of good trucks. I think I can smell the exhaust through the internet!
Studebaker US6 is my childhood dream, someday I will buy it.
I can understand why none have been restored! The cost of replacing all that dry-rotted rubber alone,would empty my bank account! Must be fun running around to keep them happy.
I want just one of those old military trucks lol Awesome video man
Love this video, Loved to the see the Studebaker US6. My granddad used to drive one, on the farm, where he worked in the 1950's, in the U.K . Hercules engine sounds good.

Apparent;y no wimpy trucks in Alaska, even the abondoned ones...
WOW! A gold mine!

Thanks to you, my patriotic friend.
Wow that uses a lot of diesel, well I'd think on making a veg prossesor to run it or old fry oils from resturants but be sure to filter it good
В России любая машина, способная передвигаться- ездиет по дорогам. И никто никогда ее не бросит)
so this is what heaven looks like?
All Those Trucks MOST LIKELY were left over from the building of the ALCAN Highway in 1942 World War 2
if only those old trucks could tell their stories , especially their war stories
aw dont get me excited with that kind of stuff now lol
I find it totally fascinating!
They all run and roll amazing
One thing I've found about owning a lot of antique vehicles is that it costs a small fortune keeping good batteries in them.
Its like having a whole stable of beautiful women that love to go to Nordstrom with my paychecks - I may be living in my car but Im happy.
collect em refurbish & wait for movie contract...😂😂😂
Somebody likes 2 1/2 & 1 1/2 ton trucks!
Great video. This would be wonderful to walk through, with you describing to me about them.
Great collection Thanks for the video.
SOME LOOK LIKE THE OLD DODGE WAR WAGONS,THAT WOULD SO LOOK GOOD NEXT TO MY WILLYS!!!🔩🔧🔩

There were so many of these trucks in Europe after the war that the Germans actually began retrofitting them with diesels and a wider cab - some of which were crew cabs. Keep'em Rolling!
AlaskaTrucker Durmax diesel would be a good candidate, stack pipes and better suspension
Amen to that and with an Alaskan camper on the back !
fantastic! congratulations!

I like the collection of old trucks! Are these Power Wagons, Oshkosh, FWD? All of the above?
Nice video of your stable and nags Alaska Trucker. Your gems must have been used on the Al-Can Hwy. build back in the day. I must say that I am envious of all your nice toys.

this is the house off wrong turn lol
What is the setup with the twin driveshafts? Is this before power dividers came along?
Thats a good question. The logic for two rear drive shafts was in the event that one rear drive shaft was lost the truck would still have 2/3 of its drive potential remaining (remember it has a shaft for the steer axle too).
A 6x6 truck that was designed with only a single rear shaft would lose 2/3 of its drive potential if the rear shaft were lost which might render it useless on the battlefield.
Thanks for watching!
