Might not qualify as a true DUKW, but it sure was a
great try in a GM. From today's AP (Associated Press):
Twelve Cuban migrants attempted to cross the Straits
of Florida Wednesday in a boat fashioned out of a
1951 Chevy truck (1-ton?)driving it within 40 miles of
the United States before they were found by the U.S.
Coast Guard and returned to the island. This truck was
equipped with a prop and 55-gallon drums attached to the
bottom as pontoons. It really looks good in the pic.
Much to my dismay, the truck was sunk as a hazard to
navigation. Heck, that truck should have been sent to
the Smitsonian...
