Can I suggest a GMC CCKW 352. The 352 was used extensively as an artillery tractor in all theatres.
Here's one in US Navy colours:

If you need any photos for modelling I can supply loads.
Kind regards to all

Well, there is a vehicle described as a 2.5 tonne truck, which given that there are no spare wheels behind the cab mean it has to be the long wheel based version, a GMC CCKW 353.
Please don't take this too much to heart, but it is not a good model :(. The chassis is too short, which make the cargo bed look too long with a large over hang that shouldn't exist, there are no mudflaps which are a distinctive feature (unless its a dump truck), the wings at the front are way too angular and make the front look like a post war M35, and the tilt when on is too high in relation to the size of the cab.
Can I appeal to you to consider a remodel at some stage in the future please :)
Kind regards
Ian

Yes, that's the one. Nice paint job btw.
This site is quite good for pictures. It has over 350 GMCs over various different types that are currently in the UK: http://cckwphotoblog.blogspot.co.uk/
You can search on the links for different varieties. This is the link for the short-wheel based CCKW 352: http://cckwphotoblog.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/352
Kind regards
