US GMC CCKW-352 Machine Gun Turret Version
The GMC CCKW is a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck that saw service in World War II and the Korean War,
often referred to as a "Deuce and a Half" or "Jimmy". The CCKW came in
many variants, based on the open or closed cab, and Long Wheel Base (LWB
353) or Short Wheel Base (SWB 352).Initially all versions were of
closed cab design (having a metal roof and doors) with all steel cargo
beds. But as the war progressed an open cab version was designed that
had fixed 'half doors' and a canvas top/sides and the steel bed was
replaced by a wooden one to conserve steel. The wood bed proved
unsatisfactory and a 'composite' bed with steel sides and framing, but
with wooden slats for the bed, was developed. Later on the 'wood/steel'
composite bed was replaced by an all steel composite bed.
