Some other stuff like DUKW's and LST's etc on the other pages.

Just noticed in Bryce Sunderlin's articles, that 800 SWB CCKW 352 cab and unbodied chassis were listed in 1942 in both closed and open cab configuration.

He didn't know where they went to but it seems likely that they are the trucks pictured above which presumably were supplied on a NAVY contract and fitted with dump bodies for the Seabees or Marines.
