GMC AFKX and GMC AFWX
Hello
I thing that Mister HANNO SPOELSTRA and me have done a confusion about these truck. I believe that ANTHONY was looking for pic of GMC AFKX witch is a 4X4 truck with generally two configurations : either with an enclosed body (cab and body making a panel) or with and enclosed cab and a separate body ofen with an air compressor. The front end of two are the same. GMC AFWX like the one displayed by HANNO and me are 6X4 trucks delivered to french army with a searchlight (Some of them have stayed in ENGLAND and the few which arrived in FRANCE were used by german as "FARHSHULE" ; (I own a pic in german hand). In the twice cases (AFKX and AFWX) the dashboard is the same and from civilian origin. I know that a GMC AFKX panel has been restored in ENGLAND. I own a pic in NORMANDY 1994 but not the inside. regards

Could it be ....
One of these but a GS body rather then the radio box body that is required?
This is the long wheel base version (353 or 354) but there is a short wheel base version as well (352)

More pics of afwx
Hello ALEX
It's a good thing that you can read "VEHICULES MILITAIRES MAGAZINE" in NETHER LAND. About these kind of trucks builded at the begin of world war two , there denomination using letters helps to a have a good identification of them. So :letter A mean the year of conception F : means that the truck own a cab over engine K : means that the front axle may be driven (after pushing a level) W : means that the truck owns two rear axles X : I suppose that there were experimental but I am not sure I join the pic of an AFWX landing in NORMANDY and an other used as FARHSHULE. In the text it is say that there were used by german army to learn the driving of american truck. Regards
