Wire work at the viaduct carrying the Milwaukee Road Railroad over Chicago Ave. necessitated deployment of the line truck.

The GMC CCKW, also known as ''Jimmy'', or the G-508 by its Ordnance Supply Catalog number, was a highly successful series of Off-Road capable, 2 1⁄2-ton, 6×6 Trucks, built in large numbers to a standardized design between 1941 to 1945 for the U.S. Army, that saw heavy service, predominantly as Cargo Trucks, in both World War Two and the Korean War. The original ''Deuce and a Half'' it formed the backbone of the famed ''Red Ball Express'' that kept Allied Armies supplied as they pushed eastward after the Normandy invasion.

 

The CCKW came in many variants, including open or closed cab, long wheelbase (LWB) CCKW-353 and short (SWB) CCKW-352, and over a score of specialized models, but the bulk were standard, General Purpose Cargo models. A large minority were built with a front mounted winch, and one in four of the cabs had a Machine-Gun mounting ring above the Co-Driver's position.

 

Of the almost 2.4 million trucks that the U.S. Army bought between 1939 and December 1945, across all payload weight classes, some 812,000, or just over one third, were 2 1⁄2-ton trucks. GMC's total production of the CCKW and its variants, including the 2 1⁄2-ton, 6x6, Amphibious DUKW, and the 6x4, 5-ton (on-road) CCW-353, amounted to some 572,500 units, almost a quarter of the total World War Two U.S. truck production, and 70% of the total 2 1⁄2-ton trucks. GMC's total of ~550,000 purely 6x6 models, including the DUKW, formed the overwhelming majority of the ~675,000 six by six 2 1⁄2-ton trucks, and came in less than 100,000 shy of the almost 650,000 World War Two Jeeps. Additionally, GM built over 150,000 units of the CCKW's smaller brother, the 1 1⁄2-ton, 4x4 Chevrolet G506, at the same factory. The GMC CCKW began to be phased out, once the M35 series trucks were first deployed in the 1950's, but remained in active U.S. service until the mid-1960's. Eventually, the M35 series, originally developed by REO Motors, succeeded the CCKW as the U.S. Army's standard 2 1⁄2-ton, 6x6 Cargo Truck.

 

The name CCKW comes from GMC model nomenclature:-

 

** ''C'' - designed in 1941

 

** ''C'' - conventional cab

 

** ''K'' - all-wheel drive

 

** ''W'' - dual rear axles

 

** ''X'' experimental chassis / non-standard wheelbase (first 13,188 units)

  

In 1939-1940 the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps was developing 2 1⁄2 short tons load-rated 6x6 Tactical Trucks that could operate off-road in all weather. General Motors, already supplying modified commercial trucks to the Army, modified the 1939 ACKWX (built for the French Army) into the CCKW. The General Motors design was chosen by the Army and went into production at GM'S Yellow Truck and Coach Division's Pontiac, Michigan plant alongside 6x4 CCW's. Later they were also manufactured at GM's St. Louis, Missouri Chevrolet plant.

 

Sources do not precisely agree on the total numbers of CCKW's built by the end of production in 1945. Ware (2010) lists one single number of 562,750 of CCKW trucks, built across all variants (presumably including the amphibian DUKW) more clearly specified numbers are provided by Sunderlin in Army Motors magazine, and by Jackson, using the numbers found in the 1946 revision of the U.S. Military's Summary Report of Acceptances, Tank-Automotive Materiel. Sunderlin reports a total of 528,829 of 2 1⁄2-ton 6x6 units (excluding the DUKW) produced by GMC, versus a total of 527,168 accepted by the U.S. Army. Jackson's tabulation of the 1946 U.S. acceptances numbers adds up to 524,873 units, excluding the DUKW's and the ACKWX predecessor models. Both of these numbers still include the cab-over engine AFKWX-353 models, leaving a total of some 518,000–519,000 actual CCKW-352 and CCKW-353 units. In addition, GMC serial numbers indicate a production of 23,500 of the same bodied 6x4 CCW models, versus 23,649 units accepted by U.S. Ordnance. In any case, GM / GMC built a total of 2 1⁄2-ton, 6-wheeled trucks that was second only to the World War Two ''Jeep'' and neither Ford nor Willys individually built as many Jeeps during the war.

The Bedford OY is an Army Truck built by Bedford for the British Armed Forces and introduced in 1939, it was based on Bedford's 'O-Series Commercial Vehicles' with a modified front end and single rear tyres. It was designed for a 3 ton payload. The OYD was a General Service Vehicle, while the OYC was a Tanker version for carrying water or petrol. These vehicles were widely used during, and after, World War Two but were later superseded by the Bedford RL.

 

The OX was a short-wheelbase version of the OY, designed for a 30 cwt (1.5 ton) payload, it had a semi-forward cab that resembled the 15 cwt Bedford MW. The OXD was a General Service Vehicle with a 8ft x 6ft x 2ft 3in tall body, while the OXC was designed, in association with Scammell, for use with a Semi-Trailer. In the early part of the War, the addition of an Armoured Body to the OXD gave the Bedford OXA (official designation "Lorry 30cwt Anti-Tank") these were used for Home Defence duties.

This off-road vehicle was primarily produced to meet the British Army's requirement for a Gun Tractor, and was designed to tow a Field Gun (L118 Light Gun) with a ton of Ammunition and other Equipment in the rear load space, giving it the alternative name of the Land Rover ''One Tonne'' the vehicle was designed to be easily transported by air, the positioning of the 3.5 litre Rover V8 engine beneath and to the rear of the cab eliminates the bonnet at the front, making the vehicle more or less cuboid thus reducing unused space in Transport Aircraft. Of concern was the payload and limited stability, particularly when crossing an incline.

 

The official name of ''101 Forward Control'' is derived from the vehicle's 101 inch wheelbase, and the position of the driver, above and slightly in front of the front wheels which used a fairly large 9.00x16in tyre. To cope with the extra height above the ground, the wheels feature an unusual feature for a Land Rover (but used for many years on the much older and similar Mercedes Unimog S404) a flange around the centre of the wheel has an embossed tread pattern forming a step for the crew when entering the cab, named a 'wheel-step'.

Development of the 101 Forward Control started in 1967, with a design team led by Norman Busby (14th October 1931 to 30th June 2005). Production took place between 1972 and 1978, in common practice of the Armed Forces, many vehicles were not used for some years and it is not unheard of for Military Vehicle enthusiasts to pick up these vehicles after only a few thousand miles service. All the vehicles produced at the Land Rover factory at Lode Lane, Solihull were soft top ('rag top') General Service Gun Tractors, although later on many were rebuilt with hard-top Ambulance bodies and as Radio Communication Trucks. A rare variant is the Electronic Warfare Vampire body, it is thought that only 21 of these were produced and less than half of these survive today.

 

The 101 Forward Control also served with the RAF Regiment, two 101's were allocated to each Rapier Missile set up, the British RAF Rapier System used three Land Rovers in deployment, a 24V winch fitted 101 Firing Unit Tractor (FUT) to tow the Launch Trailer, loaded with four Rapier Missiles, Guidance Equipment and radio, a 12V winch fitted 101 Tracking Radar Tractor (TRT) to tow the Blindfire Radar Trailer, also loaded with four Rapier Missiles and Guidance Equipment, and a 109 Land Rover to tow a Reload Trailer with 9 Rapier Missiles and loaded with the unit's other supplies and kit.

 

The 101 Forward Control also served in the Ambulance role, the Ambulance bodywork was built by Marshall of Cambridge, and was manufactured in both left and right hand drive with either 12 or 24 volt electrical systems. Some 101 Forward Control's were produced with a PTO powered Nokken capstan winch mounted on the chassis at the centre of the vehicle, allowing winching from either the front or rear. Another variation on a small number of pre-production vehicles was the addition of a trailer with an axle driven from the PTO, creating a 6x6 vehicle, this adaptation was abandoned before full production when it was discovered that the trailer had a propensity to push the vehicle onto its side when driven over rough terrain.

 

By the late 1990's, the 101 Forward Control's were decommissioned by the MoD and were replaced with Defenders and Pinzgauer Vehicles. Many 101's have entered into private ownership and there is a thriving 'Owners Club' supporting these sourcing spares and providing technical support the club also keeps a register of known surviving vehicles throughout the world. A prototype 101 was built based on a Recovery Vehicle, but only one of these is known to be in existence, at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

The model was introduced in 1983 as the Land Rover Ninety and the Land Rover One Ten, with the numbers representing the wheelbase in inches. The Ninety and One Ten replaced the earlier Land Rover Series, and at the time of launch, the only other Land Rover model in production was the Range Rover.

The One Ten was launched in 1983, and the Ninety followed in 1984. From 1984, wind-up windows were fitted (Series models and very early One Tens had sliding panels), and a 2.5-litre (153 cu in), 68 horsepower (51 kW) diesel engine was introduced. This was based on the earlier 2.3-litre (140 cu in) engine, but had a more modern fuel-injection system as well as increased capacity. A low compression version of the 3.5-litre (214 cu in) V8 Range Rover engine transformed performance. It was initially available in the One Ten with a four-speed transmission with integral transfer case, then later in conjunction with a high strength 'Santana' five-speed transmission. With a higher performance 3.5 litre engine from 1988.

The Bedford M Series General Utility Truck was a further development of the previous RL Series, dated back to the early 1950's, the M series was developed in the early 1960's to meet the British Army requirement. It was a Militarized version of commercial truck. Some 50,000 Bedfords have been manufactured for Military Service. These trucks were widely used by the British Army, who was the large customer. The M series trucks proved to be robust and reliable vehicles. In the British Army it was known simply as 4-tonner. Many of these Military Trucks have been exported to Bangladesh, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, Indonesia, Ireland, Kenya, Netherlands, Turkey United Arab Emirates and other countries. Since 1987 production of this truck was taken over by AWD, and trucks were branded as 'AWD-Bedford'. Production of this British Military Truck continued until the 1989, i the same year the Leyland DAF T224 was selected by the British Army as the M series replacement. Production of the M series continued until 1992 when the AWD Company was taken over by Marshall.

 

The Bedford M series has a payload capacity of 3.94 tons, even though a maximum load of over 5.9 tons is possible. It is a true ''Multi-Purpose'' Truck, used for all manner of Military duties. The cargo area has drop-sides and tailgate, which can be removed for stowage of containers. For Personnel transportation detachable seats are fitted in the center of the cargo area, and can carry 20 fully equipped Troops. The canvas cover and bows were often removed. A hydraulic crane was fitted to some models in the cargo area for loading and unloading operations. This Military Truck can also tow trailers or Artillery Pieces. A forward control cab is of all-steel construction, there is a hatch in the roof, used to mount a Machine Gun or for observation. Late production trucks can be recognized by the platform over the cab, which can be made Mineproof, though this requires detailed work, carried out by a specialist firm.

 

The initial production models were known as the MK, powered by a Bedford 5.4-liter multi-fuel engine, developing 98hp, in 1981 a more powerful diesel engine, developing 103hp, was introduced, which resulted in the MJ series. This military truck has selectable all wheel drive, some vehicles were also fitted with a 4.9 ton capacity winch. The Bedford M series comes in a number of variants, including Dump Truck, Refueller, Roadway Laying Vehicle, Recovery Vehicle, Light Reconnaissance Drone Carrier, Signals Vehicle, Artillery Control Center, Bridging Truck and so on. Many automotive components of the Bedford M series truck were used on the Saxon Armored Personnel Carrier, which is basically an 'Armoured Truck', capable of operating in forward areas. Production of the Bedford MJ series trucks ceased in favor to the Bedford MT series.
