82459

The U.S. Army cargo truck GMC CCKW was produced from 1941 until 1945 and saw service in the Second World War and the Korean War. The US Army needed a transport vehile that would be easy to manufacture and capable of being transported by the Navy. The GMC - General Motors Truck Company - won the contract in 1941 and by the end of the war over 562 thousand vehicles were produced.

Apart from its function as a transport vehicle, the GMC CCKW was also used for food and ammunition resupply and as a medical evacuation vehicle. The GMC CCKW 353 equipped with the Bofors 40 mm gun was a French version of the vehicle used almost exclusively by the Free French Army. It also saw service in Algeria and Indochina.
