WWII GMC CCKW & B17 Refueling Tanker

GMC CCKW ½-ton_6×6_truck Boeing B17 These two units, truck tractor and trailer, were both built during WWII in 1943 and although larger tractors were generally used to pull these Heil aircraft refueling tankers, GMC CCKWs were in some cases used as tractors for these tankers. In some cases two or even three of these tank trailers were pulled single file by a solitary truck tractor with the use of converter dollies. The Heil F2A is probably best remembered as being the tanker used to refuel the famous Boing B17 bomber. As of this writing, July 2023, the truck tractor and trailer in this video are 80 years old. The trailer in this video was used to refuel B17s on Elmendorf AFB during WWII. :More of our videos @AlaskaTrucker/videos Thanks for watching!
