The GMC CCKW is a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck that saw service in World War II additionally the Korean War, often referred to as the "Deuce . 5" or "Jimmy". The CCKW arrived in several variations, in line with the open or shut cab, Long Wheel Base (LWB 353) or Short Wheel Base (SWB 352). Initially all versions had been of shut cab design (having a metal roof and doors) with all steel cargo beds. But since the war progressed an open cab variation ended up being created which had fixed “half doors” and a canvas top/sides, utilizing the metal sleep being changed by a wood one to conserve steel. The timber sleep proved unsatisfactory and a “composite” bed with steel sides and framing but with wood slats the bed was created. Afterwards the wood/steel composite sleep had been replaced by an all metal composite bed.
