Bedford military-front and civvy-front types

[gordon]

As the ex-owner of hull number 14962 I can tell you they wont have been.

Unlike many other vehicles, the structure and funtioning of a DUKW is such that it would absolutely not lend itself to building, packing, single or twin unit packs, or even partial dissassembly as there is too much to get bent / damaged / wrecked, and way too much sealing integrity to get re-established.


If you were shipping DUKWs in quantity, the absolute most you would do to them would be to pull the windscreens, stretcher side frames, loose tools, deck mounted kit, tarpaulins and hood frame and stow it all boxed in the back, if you were going absolutely wild you might pull the headlights and stow them too.

Anything else would leave you with a seven ton brick with too many damage possibilities - you wouldn't even take the wheels off and put it on a transit frame - absolutely no point.
