An old GMC CCKW truck sat in a junkyard in Alaska for more than half a century. Despite the harsh climate the car is well preserved and can be driven.
The 1943 GMC CCKW cargo truck demonstrated enviable survivability. It started and even lasted after decades of being on the streets. A video was dedicated to him on the Backyard Alaskan Youtube channel.
Vintage GMC CCKW was found in a World War II junkyard in Alaska. It looks like the truck hasn’t been used in at least 50-60 years.
Despite the snowy and cold winters in Alaska, the military truck was well preserved. Of course, it rusted through the years of being outdoors, but it remained in working order. The GMC CCKW started up without any problems and the car was on its way.
The GMC CCKW is one of the most popular cars of World War II. General Motors produced 572 thousand of these trucks, and only the Willys Jeep was sold in large quantities. They actually supported the logistics of the US Army.
The payload capacity of the all-wheel drive GMC CCKW is 2.5 tons. It is equipped with a 4.4-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 91 or 102 hp in different versions.
By the way, I recently managed to start a rusty 75 year old Ford after 75 years of inactivity.
