83830 1/35 CCKW
750 gallon Tanker Version
The 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 Wheelbase (LWB 353) or
Short Wheelbase (SWB 352). Initially all versions had a 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, the
'wood/steel' composite bed was replaced by an all-steel composite bed.
