i measured the ground pressure of the CCKW in this configuration and under a 7,800kg load (so the truck, full fuel and a 2,500kg load) the ground pressure was as low as 0.47kg/cm^2 and empty (4,000kg) as low as 0.25kg/cm^2. That is incredibly good!, thats near snow crawler levels of mobility, and to think the Germans were putting special built un-armored half-tracks into production with 20 parts per track length when the US could just do a few mods to one of these and hey presto it can do the same job.
What a beauty runs great. Wish I could have one if each

How did you make the tracks, this is awesome 😎
Telling by the engine sound this cckw might have been repowered by a diesel.(as so many of them later,for obvious reasons)
