GMC CCKW 2-1/2-Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck


I spotted this GMC CCKW 2-1/2-Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck from World War II in Elbe, Washington, in the summer of 1998. The CCKW was introduced in 1941 with an enclosed cab. The flat vertical windshield indicates that this truck is an open cab version, built between 1943 and 1945, with a solid roof and doors grafted on later. With over a half-million produced, the CCKW was one of the most numerous vehicles built for the U.S. Military during World War II, second only to the Jeep.
