The 2 1/2 ton cargo truck supported the lifeline of the Allied armies in WWII and Korea, carrying supplies and soldiers to the front. Over 800,000 were built during WWII, with many variations produced for various tasks. The most common was CCKW-353 flatbed cargo truck, which had an off-road cargo capacity of 2 1/2 tons and a paved road capacity of 4 tons. With its bulletproof reliability and 72km/hr top speed, it ferried much-needed supplies, medicines, food, and fuel to help the Allies win the war. Die cast chassis features metal screws for easy assembly with truck body. Cabin top features realistic fabric texture and can be removeable to display cabin interior. 1 driver figure included. 2 types of markings, one from a unit in Normandy and another from the famous Red Ball Express are included.
Nicknamed the deuce and a half, the M35 2.5 ton 6X6 supply truck was one of the unsung heroes of WWII, with over 800,000 produced. Designed to be easy to maintain and repair, the truck served in all theatres supplying the front lines with needed material. One notable supply operation that the truck took part in was the Red Ball Express supply chain that was created after the Allied invasion of Normandy. It's rugged versatility meant that it was extremely configurable and troops in the field often added their own modifications according to their needs, like soldiers in Vietnam who welded armour plates to their trucks.
