Also this truck was designated a prime artillery mover, thats the reason for the 2 spares, this perticular truck pictured the 352 has "bud" wheels in the "front" for duellys up there when placing artillary and or towing in difficult conditions,limited number built for sure, ruff guess 15000,now like all 2 and a half tonners there are many varients, and there are a quite few in ww2,Now as there is talk that these were actually never called deuces, It has been asked in the MV mag and such for any at all actuall proof ,NOT i heard a guy say they did, these were "jimmys" above info all super correct, and the regular truck the long wheel base is a 353, they made one that splits in half to carry in gargo planes also, Now that truck the 352 will bring a higher price than a regular wheel base, and they also had open cab designs, no hard doors and a rag top, thats what i had the 352 open cab, That truck steers so easy u just cant believe it, even with the deullys on the front, and i ran em alot in alot of conditions,There were advertisements of these trucks with the worm gear steering box that they were the easiest steering truck of the day and i say it was true for sure.alot of history in these alone....all the best and hope u guys find a truck that fits your needs, there are different ones , oh and also can't forget the "tippers" they dumped, there is a plywood piece that will shorten the length of the bed, so the debri will not go to the very front of the bed, as these trucks would have difficulty and be dangerous if overloaded.but they look pretty much the same....I will note the little mirrors and usually no back window, useless on a cargo truck anyway alot of the time, in my truck i would stand on the running board and back her out of tight spaces like the farm boys of yesteryear. but one sure can get used to those little mirrors if one wants to, like anything else just do it enough...Randy
