I swam my DUKW for the first time this weekend. It did pretty well, except that one of the differentials dumped about 8 quarts of gear oil on the beach. Suddenly, I understood how Captain Hazelwood felt after the Exxon Valdez ran aground. (Who said that shovel on the bow was just eye candy?)
I'm looking for the following items for my DUKW:
- Steering Wheel
- Compass
- Lower drive shaft for the winch
- Repro .50 Cal M2 Browning (I have the ring mount, legs, and trolley - just need a dummy gun)
- DUKW tools - jack, lug nut wrench, etc.(I have a DUKW tool box, but no tools)
- Harpoon (ok - i know the dukw didn't have a harpoon, but how cool would that look?)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rob Kiser
