This brings back sweet memories for me. The school district I worked for had a 42 CCKW that they had purchased surplus in about 1949. It ended up in the transportation department where I went to work in 1976. It was used primarily checking bus routes in the early morning after snow storms and drifting. Was also great for pulling buses that managed to drive in the ditch or get stuck in a drift. Ours was a cargo/troop carrier as it had wood side racks that part of them folded down into bench seats. I drove it from 76 until 2008 when I retired. It was a wonderful truck Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mint.
When vehicles had engines in them that sounded like tractors you know they were built with pride...and to LAST. Thanks for bringing this old girl back to life and sharing it with us!
And you just know the truck was never abused or driven off road. This truck was built to be used and abused and keep on going. Can't imagine what Alaska looked like when it first went up there, you know the roads it had to travel were not even wagon ruts and for it still to be around proves it was built to last.
One thing I always loved about old cars and trucks, you can beat the piss out of them and they keep going. Modern cars you dent them and every light on the dash starts flashing while the thing screams at you in beeper
When I was in the National Guard in Maryland, we had a 1952 Studebacker "Deuce and a half". It ran really rough and after reviewing everything, it needed new points. I put in a request for ones and was told that they were out of stock. So, I did what any good motor sergeant did, I ordered a whole new distributor. Got it in about a month, pulled the points out, put them in the truck, put the distributer on the shelf and ran the truck with new points in it. It ran just fine. Anyhow, that's the way you did things in the service. BTW, I ordered all new tires for it. Guess who had to install them, ME! all ten of them. This truck had split rims, very dangerous to mess with. Had no problems.
@@justinstearns9723 did they even have sparkolaters in 1943? Pretty sure my granpap called em spark nuggets. And I know for certain nothing was digical back then. I think you're used to VGG and all the pristine futuristic gems he works on.
some one put their peepers on the old vice grip garage, or did he? Ah it doesnt matter! haha Its good to see him become part of their "youtube" family!!
Alowitious McKay I guess so lol. I do have a 1960 International 2 ton 4x4 that’s just about as primitive as these trucks are though, I know how it goes lol
The strange shift pattern is because it's an overdrive 5th. gear. I have a 1943 CCKW (Yellow Coach Division) with 2,700 original miles. It was a forest fire truck delivered to Nevada when the Japanese were sending over the balloon bombs. Great trucks although I prefer my Studebaker US-6.
"Where does he get all these wonderful toys?" When i was a kid, we didn't have tonka toys and baseball gloves, grampa would say "you want something to do? go make one of those old trucks run!" (he owned a trucking company and pointed to a row of old chevy trucks from the 40's)..we got a few to run!
Bless your heart! I Love How You video, and I am fascinated about your old army truck collection. I like how you illustrate everything you do and how you work on things alone you're working alone and my heart goes out to you I love to see those old relics run the way they sound because I had uncles who served in World War II and I just love the sound of those trucks! I love to see you start up that old diesel welder. That would make a fantastic video! Because I am proud of you and I commend you for your drive and effort and making of great videos I don't worry about what other people say how you sound like you sound and illustrate your videos great! So, keep those army trucks coming!
Американцы низкий вам поклон, спасибо вам вы для нас много сделали, вы с 1941 по 1945 года опередили свое время. Но мы в России так и не научились хорошо делать машины и грузовики
What a find, this channel just keep getting better and better. That welder will be a nice addition. Can you imagine finding a 2020 Kenworth hidden in the bush in 70 years. Critters have chewed through most of the wiring harnesses The DEF turned to stone 65 years ago All the plastic has rotted off or fallen apart Going to need more then a new battery and a squirty bottle of fuel to get it running.
this brings me back a buddy of mine got a 1943 gmc cckw 6x6 but the suspension was riped out and he needed a tracked vehicle because he lived in a heavy snow area and he thought it was cool to have one and he got a good one it was a full cab, it had a winch, and it had a gmc 270 and it still has the original bed on and what we did is put a new front end in and a new steering system , fixed up the drive system, and added parts from a yanmar b37 excavator (the track system) and converted it to a half track and it is a beast. now he uses it as a work vehicle and a rescue rig we also added a industrial grade warn winch in the back of the bed, customized the bumper for strength and so if he hits anything it can take the hit and converted it to a 12v system, it has a onboard air-tank with a industrial grade compressor, a heavy duty mig welder, a generator and a large tool box, and we added a snow plow system in the front, light bars, working lights beacons on the roof and we added extra gas can holders so he can have fuel for his stuff and storage for supplies for himself and anyone he helped. we also had custom front tires that are filled with polyurethane and has spikes in-beaded in them for the ice and had custom tire chains made for the front tires and had custom tracks made for snow and ice.
Man it would be really neat to see one of these machines you own back in good shape. Metal straightened, a whole onceover steering,bushings,gaskets, etc. Maybe thick coat of resistant paint. Cool trucks!
This brings some old memory's back.... My grandfather was in world war II and the Korean war he worked in the motor pool and had a farm in Buffalo New York Springville of which he bought several old military vehicles from auction that were in crates before I was even born... He had one of these old GMCs exactly like this 6x6 it was an army air corps fire truck grandpa just had a flatbed on it for hauling hay but let me tell you what it might be hard to believe but my grandfather had that thing chains on all 10 tires put that thing in super low range second gear that thing would hammer up any Hill they would rival any one of my buddies rock crawlers not in the rocks like rock crawling but climbing around in the mountains the Steve grades that thing would climb were absolutely astonishing but love those old military trucks man super cool find..... Hello from Phoenix Arizona
Love how you 'threw some gas at it' and got it going. LOL You found a gold mine in that old rig. Congrats. Enjoy those old trucks and keep them alive. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see this old truck running again. If I was still young and reenacting WWII, I would love to have that old girl. Take her back to her glory days of army service.
I'd like to see that Detroit get started. Got my fingers crossed on a 353 in an old timberjack that's been sitting for years. That's my next project. Clean oil and no holes in the block, they should run.
It’s nice to see A young feller fooling around with these Old trucks. If you knew how many 37’sCCKW and Willis jeeps I made swamp buggies out of them growing up in the panhandle of Florida it’s nice to see you doing this. don’t worry about those people complaining about how you talk and how you work on these things figuring out like we did back in the day and have fun with them
One of the easiest and more reliable pieces of equipment ever built to last for generations to come, when I was young I used to work on them everyday. Please don't wait to long , I want to see the gen set going., Thanks sor sharing it with us, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico, Jesús Torres, enjoy you toy.
Runs like she was parked yesterday! Those old GM straight sixers are bulletproof engines. Really cool to see trucks with local history, especially when they still have quite a bit of life left in them. That welder looks like some serious hardware! I'd love to see a video or two focusing on it.
It even sounds factree!! The deuces from my era got turbochargers added and made that whistling sound I can still hear.. The 5 tons had power steering and a little more go..what an upgraded status change that was. 19ought84 Good times
I had one of those in Palmer in the 80s, chopped to a 4x, with the winch and a-frame boom on the front, I used it to build log homes in Palmer. That thing would start right up in the middle of winter, sitting out in the log yard. I marveled at its dependability many times over the years. Not a lick of trouble with it.
These trucks (as many old vehicles) just ooze an almost ridiculous amount of character and personality. They seem damn near alive. They definitely want to keep running.
Part of me can't grasp that someone would collect these rolling sculptures but by the end of your vids i see the appeal. A very original collection indeed.
Me personally I like any kind of old old trucks or old old cars so doesn't matter to me what you do next time long as it's all old stuff cuz you're man after my own heart when it comes to the old old stuff thank you and God bless
Ooohhh yeeesss try that with any later model equipment, I have plenty experiences with them, I was always very sorprised to see the high quality of those equipments. Young man I guarantee you those equipment will outlast you and your next generation, you will have great stories to tell your grand kids, from endless summer paradise Puerto Rico, Jesús Torres, may God bless you and love ones.
Most kind of you gentlemen , I wish to leave near by you, we can spend high quality time working on those toys, enjoy, make the best of it, please be safe,, blessings to you and love ones.
I'm jealous of the space and equipment. Impressed you're doing this on your own! There's a lot of holes in the firewall including some that go right into the cab itself, so those are good to get welded up if only to avoid inhaling the fumes. But geez, you're not far from having a regular runner there. A bit of pounding on those fenders, clean up the body, paint, and you've got a good rig.
Im happy to see your gmc cckw 6x6 running smooth i have one like that sitting in our farm my dad use it before to haul our sugar cane from our farm to the sugar mill.
Me and my dad had one of these back in 1994 and convoyed it to France from the UK with another 500 or so ex military trucks and jeeps etc for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. Was an amazing couple of weeks.
been with you since the lincoln flattie started,i liked your holistic outlook and sharp wit.full marks for standing up to the trolls.enough on them,its like having slugs in your vegie patch lol.congrats on genuine content,that jimmy diesel should respond,id imagine.patiently waiting for more flattie stuff,its just that in my town,they have rarely ever make it,and ive never seen one in the flesh.i run a couple of early ford flatties.that truck really needs to be out earning its keep again
Over here in the UK, I'm pretty sure that engine was used in the Vauxhall Cresta, a large saloon car from the 50's / 60's. Vauxhall were the British arm of GM. Love the sound of them WW2 Jimmy's !!
Hi BackyardAlaskan Cool old CCKW. Just thought in case you didn't know. On the front axle steering knucle i run a 50/50 mix of molylube grease and 90w gear oil and it works great to lube the drive axle and the knuckle seal. Good luck, R.
Great find .🇺🇸 My son found a 1964 international truck with dump and side racks A barn fine 1hr later it was running back on the road or Field V8 drove home with no brakes a ok now super good truck free purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion 🇺🇸👍🤔cjd wash state .
Thnx to DD'S Speed Shop I checked out your channel --------"""""""""""""""""""""Totally COOL I'M 76 years old and have been playing with this type of Iron all my life . Glad to see the old Iron not being wasted Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos and looking forward to more .
That's one beautiful truck you've got there my friend! I'm happy for you that she runs so well! You scored big time. Well done! Thanks for the great videos! I'm enjoying them from all the way across the world in South Africa.
I'm in Fairbanks born in 1962 I remember when they put aircraft tires on these trucks and headed to the tundra a few half tracks running around to what part of Ak are you kinda looks like the interior keep on trucking
After witnessing the fine collection of REAL trucks you have accumulated....it is with jealousy that I had to subscribe! No matter the weather or amount of snow you get in Alaska...you won't be stranded anyplace. (Unless you run out of gas) ✌😄
My brother nearly bought one,instead bought an x army '57 Landrover fire truck with 3500 miles on the clock. I'd would've taken the truck 👍👍. NICE !!!!.

77 years old and still running ! Despite a long and hard service, this truck is amazing.
hey in 1983 it was only 40 years old...time for new tires.
And you just know the truck was never abused or driven off road. This truck was built to be used and abused and keep on going. Can't imagine what Alaska looked like when it first went up there, you know the roads it had to travel were not even wagon ruts and for it still to be around proves it was built to last.
Imagine if they still built vehicles like this......truck has seen alot of use and parked for years and came right back to life.....great job.....
Of course she'll start. It was built by Americans from a time when Americans had PRIDE & CARED.
Great content.
Stay Real
American Iron all the way!

He should have checked the spark nuggets and the lightning threads.
Alowitious McKay What? Those are sparkolaters and digical Lightning shooter cables
@@justinstearns9723 did they even have sparkolaters in 1943? Pretty sure my granpap called em spark nuggets. And I know for certain nothing was digical back then. I think you're used to VGG and all the pristine futuristic gems he works on.

Can you imagine finding a 2020 Kenworth hidden in the bush in 70 years.
Critters have chewed through most of the wiring harnesses
The DEF turned to stone 65 years ago
All the plastic has rotted off or fallen apart
Going to need more then a new battery and a squirty bottle of fuel to get it running.
Very nice truck

Clean oil and no holes in the block, they should run.
My dad always talked driving a "6-by" in Europe. So this is what he drove. Very cool.
She`s a beauty and runs a treat , all you need to do is find four wheels for the rear axels and you have got a real truck !
You're living the dream my friend.
The Alaskan Trucker must have some of the rarer parts you need. Excellent, thank you. It will run.
I’ll be dipped you need to build a shed for that one bc she’s mint lol
Factree!
Crazy Sami #VGG!! Eleventy billion years
Johnathan W. Made a shed from scrap. Check him out on RUclips.

That’s awesome! I have a 1941 Chevy 4x4 with a boom. Do you have any pictures of your old truck? Would love to see.
One of the best vehicle sounds ever.reminds me of WW2 landing craft,as well as these trucks which have so much history attached to them .🇬🇧
These trucks (as many old vehicles) just ooze an almost ridiculous amount of character and personality. They seem damn near alive. They definitely want to keep running.
AMAZING THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE EVEN STILL AROUND!! AWESOME AND AMAZING,,,,KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!
Part of me can't grasp that someone would collect these rolling sculptures but by the end of your vids i see the appeal. A very original collection indeed.
Love to see these old work horses still in service. Hard to kill them....
Many tow trucks, plow trucks, even well drillers still going strong. 💪
YOUR VERY OWN PERSONAL TIME MACHINE... AWESOME.
Love. To see that Detroit welder make sparks…and flames…!
I like waking up those old beasts. Most of the time they don't have much wrong with them. You're getting better at this.

Over here in the UK, I'm pretty sure that engine was used in the Vauxhall Cresta, a large saloon car from the 50's / 60's.
Vauxhall were the British arm of GM. Love the sound of them WW2 Jimmy's !!
You find the coolest old trucks
That's one hell of a nice truck,keep the videos coming
Hi BackyardAlaskan Cool old CCKW. Just thought in case you didn't know. On the front axle steering knucle i run a 50/50 mix of molylube grease and 90w gear oil and it works great to lube the drive axle and the knuckle seal. Good luck, R.
Is the welder running yet?
Nice truck, it is a real survivor!
I love this! Such history from even the patina. If the old workhorse could only talk.
Loved it! I just love those old vehicles. They just refuse to give up! Thanks for the video.
Cool ole piece of history
Great video of a beautiful old truck!!
Great find .🇺🇸 My son found a 1964 international truck with dump and side racks A barn fine 1hr later it was running back on the road or Field V8 drove home with no brakes a ok now super good truck free purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion 🇺🇸👍🤔cjd wash state .
Good thing you picked up that grease cup at one of your dump visits, now you got a spare for the one on that old Lincoln SA 400 if it ever craps out
That’s a gem.

She’s a beauty!
Good job youngster! Thumbs up!

After witnessing the fine collection of REAL trucks you have accumulated....it is with jealousy that I had to subscribe!
No matter the weather or amount of snow you get in Alaska...you won't be stranded anyplace. (Unless you run out of gas) ✌😄

D D Speed shop said check you out I was not disappointed will enjoy watching your videos. We had old military trucks to use on the farm in Ky.
She’s super cool! Really want a 6x some day, in that vintage is extra. I had 46 international k1 when I was 14-15 ish always regret selling it.
My brother nearly bought one,instead bought an x army '57 Landrover fire truck with 3500 miles on the clock. I'd would've taken the truck 👍👍. NICE !!!!.
Dude you, vicegrip garage, and ol zip ties need to do a colab
