The GMC CCKW

Hi!
I am looking for photos and info on the SWB CCKW Tipper. Detail picks entire truck, the bed and tail gate hinges/latches as well.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry, but there is no such thing as a SWB tipper. All tippers were built on LWB Timken (split type) axles. Any tippers on other chassis types have been bubbered....

Looks like some were used in SWPA maybe by Seabees or Marines see photo:

Have seen a few other pics of these - guess not many made.

Interesting photos. Is it possible that the dump body was added from another truck ?

Thanks for the link Robbo!

That is the truck! A short wheel base Dump!

It has more of a Dump body as opposed to a tipping cargo body. we need pix that show the details of the bed and tail gate mechanisms.

Thanks for your input!!
