The GMC CCKW was a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck used in the Second World War and the Korean War. It's often referred to as a "Deuce and a Half" or "Jimmy". The CCKW came in many variants which had an open or closed cab, and a Long Wheel Base (LWB 353) or a Short Wheel Base (SWB 352). Initially all versions had a closed cab, a metal roof and doors, and steel cargo beds. As the war progressed, an open cab version was designed. It had fixed 'half doors', canvas top and sides, and the steel bed was replaced by a wooden one in order to conserve steel. The wooden bed proved unsatisfactory and led to the development of a 'composite' bed with steel sides and framing along with wooden slats for the bed. Later on the composite bed was replaced by an all steel bed.
