Yes these Airborne GMC's were cut down full cabs and the rear deck also split in half as did the chassis behind the cab. One truck disassembled made up two C47 plane loads. This is one vehicle I am very interested in and I'd love to see a real one one day.
The photo below is of a 1/35 scale model I made at one stage.
