Photographed the 1952 GMC M135 Canadian 6x6 Medium Duty Cargo Truck 52-50000 on display at the Military Museum located at Canadian Forces Base Borden in Simcoe County Ontario Canada

 

After the REO M35 was standardized GMC submitted a different design. An evolution of the CCKW, the GMC was classed as substitute standard M135 in the US but was widely used by the Canadian Army called the Deuce and a Half.

M135 was the only  21⁄2-ton truck designed with an automatic transmission. The transmission had 4 speeds and 2 ranges, with a 1-range transfer case.
