Hello again from Cypress TX. (WW II Military Truck)

[SpookyDad]

I was on the board a while ago but got frustrated waiting for my truck to get delivered. I got fed up and went to get it myself. It is here now and I have begun the teardown process. I have also been working on the mechanical systems.

My "hot rod" will be a Kfz 72 Radio Van. I have made a bloglike page of the build here:

I have build pictures here:

The overall project info is here:

I am almost done removing all the extraneous body parts. I need to move the radiator forward and extend the rear rails by 12". Then the new construction begins.

Thanks.

I just posted new pictures tonight. The front end tear down is complete. I will begin reconstructing the front end now.

Did ya keep any of the original tin? Looks like it was a winch model, do ya still have the winch??

[SpookyDad]

All of the original sheet metal has gone to other CCKW owners to help with their restorations. The truck rolled off the assembly line with a winch but it was replaced with a pump when it was converted to a fire truck in '45. The pump went to another fire truck owner.

The only spare things that I have left are the front bumper and brush guard.
