Visited a guy in The Netherlands who reconstituted the only one built GMC 352 AFKWX prototype tipper; he used 4 (!!) 1943/1944 GMC cargo wrecks from France and had the tipper bed fully reconstructed as per very hard to find pictures / drawings.
According to this bloke there is not much info available in books and on the internet about this rare on DUCK wheels positioned truck.
Have a couple of pictures, sorry cannot upload. If some-one interested (in helping me), I could email the pics through pm for uploading.
Thanks, Prop Trailer

Fred Crismon's "Military Wheeled Vehicles" is a good reference book for that era.
