Early closed cab..

This is a test forum to highlight the best and worst of the CCKWs on the road. It will be HEAVILY MODERATED. If you post a critique, you BETTER have a TM, Part number or Reference to back it up... otherwise it will not be approved. Basically its to discuss running CCKWs and point out the good, bad, and things that need further explored. Since there are so many new CCKW owners hopefully this can become a guide of sorts.

Good
Second model closed cab, correct grill with GMC logo. Retrofit BO light. Proper running boards with no gas can mounts or pioneer tool brackets.

Not sure:
No splash guards?
No fuel tank filler?
Stencil on fuel tank?

Bad:
Wrong bed!
Passenger side mirror (not stock)
Wiper arms appear unpainted
No National Insignia on door (AR850-5 1942 pg 14)
I got a Mountain Cur and a ~~pitbull~~ big loveable cuddle puppy and a Brown Husky aka 'Golden Dragon'

I thought the 'first series' cabs had the mirror brackets on the doors, then the second series closed cabs moved them to the cowl.

Missed the GMC logo on an asymmetrical brush guard.. I was dazzeled by the early BO light.

Can't tell about the mesh rear window protector... pics is not clear enough.

CCKWX thru CCKW SN 41189 had 1574 Cab with mirror bracket on upper door hinge.
Also had leaded in seam at junction of cab top and cowl.
Rear window mesh guard is missing.
