[:(!] I have been searching for a few pictures of the CCKW-353 (352) (WW II 2 1/2 Ton Truck) tow truck version. Several people have told me that there was such a version of this truck. I have tried all kinds of internet searches with no luck. Can anyone please help. Thanks in advance !!!
Just did a quick scan but didn’t have much luck either. It did exist and lists as a CCKW 353 Light Wrecker. Maybe that will help a bit.
Maybe Animal can shed a little more light on this subject … he’s a truck fanatic [;)]
did a google search for
CCKW 353 Light Wrecker.

with some others.
The CCKW 353 “wrecker” was actually a 2 ton rated crane. This was used primarily for light duty lifting such as engine changes and the like. The primary manufacturer of wreckers was White trucks. There are 1/35 kits offered, resin I believe. Expensive and require high degree of skill.
