Hobby Boss 1/35 GMC CCKW-352 Wooden Cargo Truck Replica

The GMC CCKW, commonly called the "Deuce and a Half", was a backbone vehicle in World War II and later in Korea. This 2.5-ton 6X6 truck moved troops and supplies across rough ground and came in several cab and wheelbase types. During wartime shortages the cargo bed used both steel and wood elements to conserve materials while keeping functionality.
