Description
The GMC CCKW U.S. Army cargo truck, the original “Deuce and a Half”, was the working horse that kept Allied armies supplied after the Normandy invasion. The designation CCKW comes from standard GMC terminology: C for a 1941 model year; C for a conventional cab configuration; K for selective front-wheel drive; and W for two powered rear axles. Its development began in 1939 and the US Army specified this size because it has the truck fit on Navy ships and was also suited for mass production.
With so many CCKW been built by the end of the war, the truck remained in service in the US Army and its European allies for decades after its peak had passed. Its legacy can still be seen, however, in every Chevrolet/GMC truck built since the war.

Sehr gutes und schönes Modell, mit anderen Rädern (schmalere Räder / hinten doppelte Räder) wäre es perfekt.

10/10 would recommend to other buyers. Very accurate vehicle and would buy again and would buy other products.

This set is very accurate to the real thing with great detail. The drive axels were difficult to assemble and the top railing of the truck bed on both sides is not very secure and easily falls off. Also, I didn’t see any instructions on how to mount the spare tire, not sure if it just sits there or is attached to something.
