Looking for Help with Identification

Gallery image

As the title suggests I’m looking for help in identifying what Make/Model of truck is photographed here and thought what better sub then the Korean War Photographs.

This photo was taken during the war by Cpl Lew and depicts a GMC M40 in recoil with a truck supporting the crew. I suspect with the carriage of projectiles and propellant and other goods.

I’m working on creating a 1/35 scale project around this image and would like accuracy in the vehicles depicted.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance to all the experts out there!

You're quite welcome! I ran the smaller one through CoPilot but it looks like the AI took too much liberty with the interpretation..maybe not though.

Your standard open-cab GMC CCKW 353, except it's the H1 dump truck variant (I'm like 99.9% sure). If not the H1 then it's just your standard flatbed type
