BARN FIND Abandoned 1943 WW2 GMC CCKW 353 - Will it run and drive after 40 years?

[@MartsGarage]

Well done lads, that was great.

[@NewRetroCars]

Thanks !!! Fabien

[@murraystewartj]

No bells, no whistles, no electronics - just plain old rugged engineering, a heart of iron and a soul that lives again.

[@crickettragicfromdownunder8878]

Hope you guys decode to restore it to WW2 standard. A piece of history saved. Stay safe and cheers 🇦🇺

[@combatbeard7643]

Thank you guys for saving that little bit of history. My hats off to you.

[@brentdelaney1012]

Congratulations to the starter motor for an outstanding performance 😜 Nice truck and I enjoy watching progress on your restoration.

[@martinpreiss569]

Sorry Guys, I`m almost 60 and would have liked to watch your movie to the End. It was that for me "backwards" played music that drove me nuts!

[@johnmccormick2008]

On a retrouvé les équipes de smells like gasoline !!! Continuez les gas vous êtes au top !!! Vivement la suite de la Delorean également

[@francoishollin1995]

Ah oui énorme c est effectivement eux !!! Retour sur les lieux de la 604 apparement 👍

[@NewRetroCars]

Il semblerait qu’on soit démasqués ! Nous avons fait une pause, pour mieux repartir ! Attendez-vous à de nombreuses nouvelles vidéos et bien sûr, la suite de la Delorean !

[@melaniezimmermann7979]

C'est chouette de vous retrouver là, bonne route. 👍

Thumbs up for restoration of this Tipper! I also own one of these trucks (long wheel base with wooden cargo bed & steel sides and split axles). They are truly great trucks and also comfortable to drive on longer distances. The ones with split axles are faster than the Jimmys with Banjo axles. And awesome in any terrain with 6x6 all-wheel drive. I am curious how your resto work proceeds. Good luck!!!

[@АлександрМихалёвич-н6б]

Спасибо.

[@christopherhampson265]

Lovely gentle way to free up the stuck open valves . A real passion for vintage equipment ! Now it's running on 3 1/2 cylinders it's off to be filled with snails and onions . Shame le lack of skills

What an amazing find...

Very unusual to see French People anywhere near a military vehicle very unusual indeed. Usually Running away from them . 🙊🙉🙈

[@pierrelarocque3214]

Bravo les gars, mon père était conducteur de camions dans l'aviation canadienne (RCAF), il a débarqué en 1944 et n'est revenu au Canada qu'en 1946. il a peut-être conduit un camion de ce type durant la guerre. Belle relique, respectez-la, elle vous le revaudra.

[@Skoda130]

Nice, I hope it's restored and preserved. It's a piece of world history on wheels. Wouldn't have started it with four decades old oil in the sump though. That's all muck by now.

[@NewRetroCars]

no worries, it was drained of all its fluids before being restarted. he is in good hands and will no longer do a thankless job. he was not spared after his landing in italy. he served in a stone quarry

[@Wilett614]

That CCKW has a Garwood Dump Body known as a "Tipper" Nice Truck : ) Dont Destroy it : )

Good old truck,post war they spread lime in the fields .

[@BobbyTucker]

You guys are doing great, getting them running, you might try checking the valves, might have a burned valve. I just subbed, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. Thanks for sharing.

[@NewRetroCars]

Thanks to You !!! Fabien

[@rolfagten857]

Put it in a WW2 movie / museum!

Surely you would clean the Tank out and Run fresh Fuel and Check the Oil and Change the Spark Plugs at the very least before Starting it ?

[@1818ju]

EXCELLENTE VIDEO,MERCI

[@williamdeegan7840]

I love it. Those Straight 6 GMC' engines are hard to kill. Where did you find it ? Will it get restored ? I hope so. Your lucky to have such a neat piece of WW2 history. Good luck

[@GH-oi2jf]

This is the engine that won the war - GMC 270 straight-6. Half a million were built.

[@NewRetroCars]

Exactly Fabien

Ce vehicule à deux ennemis la rouille et l'oubli. C'est du matériel très solide rustique un peu gourmand en carburant mais si polyvalent que on peut que rêver d'en avoir un.

Un bocal de LR de 4l est ça démarre toujours ;-)

at 2:08 you edited out the number plate on the tractor , then at 3:43 the number plate is seen clearly " 742 XX 25" lol , i have a few old cckw trucks , and a few wc series dodges, keep up the good work and restore this old girl

Try doing that with modern vehicles after a similar time lapse.

[@NewRetroCars]

Not possible 😂😂 Thanks fabien

[@Sophia-io8qg]

Wonder where this was found, filmed

[@DSMODELS]

Omg 😮 I love this , wanna sell it 👍😊

[@bricoletout1]

Super, et bravo les gars! J’en avais redémarré un au début des années 80 … 1.5.3.6.2.4 pour l’ordre d’allumage (pour certaines versions de moteurs, l’ordre d’allumage ‘’classique’’) Pour s’en rappeler, comptez le nombre de lettres dans chaque mot de cette phrase: J’ADORE LES FEMMES EN SLIP… le J comptant pour un mot.

[@richardcline1337]

That was when built in America meant it was built to last. Now you're lucky to get five years out of anything with GM on it! All plastic and no pride in building anything.

[@heartland96a]

The life of most vehicles in combat had been calculated to be about eight weeks if I recall . Finding them is becoming a bit more difficult buying them a bit more expensive , restoring them is very expensive , but will only increase , so find them now and at least preserve them in good storage so they can be restored .

[@jeffhoyle7900]

Music sucks but I would love to own one of those old trucks

[@godoyandalonleopoldo4498]

Que maravilla lo mejor me encanta

[@salvadorpaulin5838]

In Philippines were still using this truck with Isuzu engine and reo m35 under chassis,for offroad load

[@TheDreamSmith]

Are those bullet holes in the windscreen?

J'ai vue votre vidéo c'est magnifique. Le camion n'a pas rouler tout temps là il fallait chenger de l'œil est puis démarrer le moteur il les en bonne état

[@michaelmaddy278]

They don't make trucks like that anymore, can you imagine how many of them hose you could have made for the price of a new military vehicle. Easy to fix, no computer to fail, simple body style.

Why are you blurring the regplates. All tractors have one.

[@ramachandrapai4654]

Petrol engine? As you shown in thumbnail , in 1943 , battery operated self starter was in existence?

[@GH-oi2jf]

That’s amazing! Did it start with the original spark plugs? Isn’t the electrical system 6 volts? Did you just jump it with 12 volts?

[@brandonrobishaw7606]

Won't hurt the starter just make it spin faster probably good for an engine sitting so long. The generator lights and gauges won't like that though.

[@vicentefernandez3930]

En mi pueblo hubo varios, los tenían empresas mineras y maderistas.

[@SUKIpoorLOOK]

Super ! Hâte de voir la DeLorean également. Petite critique technique: le floutage des plaques (même si selon moi ce n'est pas nécessaire) faudrait penser à les enlever quand elles n'y sont pas... :)

[@NewRetroCars]

Le floutage reste un grand mystère !! Pour la Delorean patience elle va revenir à l écran pour de nouvelles aventures 😉

[@JDawghasaTruck]

Right on! Piece of rolling history there! Amazed you got it going so easily, sounds like it needs valve job badly, popping on 4 or 5 cylinders😉

[@NewRetroCars]

At the end of the video we have solved the rocker problem 2 rods were bent. after releasing an exhaust valve, the GMC left like new ;-)

[@gilbertovenancio8599]

Raridade GMC 1943,veículo militar,6 cilindros a gasolina,rodou bastante na segunda guerra mundial,veículo traçado,muito forte,muitos desses veículos,foram doados depois da guerra para o exército brasileiro.

et ça tourne sur 2 ou 3 cylindres ... p'tit problème de soupape, non?

When she was in service she was likely a supplies or troop carrier I'm surprised there's no bullet holes in her frame

[@michelringlet4902]

Les entreprises ont utilisé ces GMC des surplus Américain après guerre , mon grand pére utilisais ce camion , mais gourmand en essence vite remplacé par des diesel , il roulais en mettant une ceinture pour sont dos , véhicule d'origine militaire donc " spartiate" et inconfortable , mais de la tôle tres épaisse.
