Many cckw's had dual water/gas cans mounted on the rear of the rear
mudflaps, one per side. DO NOT mount it on the running board w/o the brace
on the open cab.
You can install a Midland-Ross Hydrovac part number that will 'fit' in a
CCKW: RV2512140X
It is a more modern (60's) unit and with a little adaptation will fit.
Brent Mullins in TX has the craddle and pintle or at least he did couple of
years ago when I bought mine.
Robert Motor Parts in Amesbury MA has rubber parts. To him, your truck is a
1946 Chevy 1.5 ton civy truck. DON'T cornfuse him with mil stuff.
Markings: Mine are
1A 291E TRK 11
across the front bumper. 1st Army 291st Engineers Truck #11. The 291st held
up the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge and put up a Treadway bridge
across the Rhine under fire. See the History Channel for their exploits.
