Yes Orginal
Hi Serge
The trucks pictured could well be restored original, in looking at a CCKW book it seems that the French liked the short wheel base units as there are lots of pictures of French Army units using various versions CCKW trucks with the short wheelbase. Picture from the book The GMC 6x6 and DUKW A Universal Truck. Cheers Phil

Gone forever
GMC Short Wheelbase tippers were also built for the US Navy Sea Bees. One was recently cut up in a scrap yard in Idaho along with another SWB and 2 LWB CCKWs.
A local G503 forum contributor put out an alert and tried to salvage what he could. His posts appear in the 'OTHER, MV's, US' section under the 'Trucks 2-1/2 ton +' heading on the G503 Forum. David
