Nice pic of 353 closed cab, England, Feb 44

Hopefully this scan is ok and I won't get busted for copyright infringement! It's a little difficult to ask for the authors permission!

One of my favourite pictures of a GMC CCKW 353, Closed Cab, with steel cargo body and early symmetrical grille. Note the headlamp(s?) have been replaced with blackout drive lamps and knowing the book is USAAF focussed, it appears this 353 has had a new hood number assigned as, from what I've learnt, 45555 is far too low to be an original assigned number. Interestingly, there are numerous pictures of AAF CCKW's with non original hood numbers, either 45xxx or sometimes preceded with an X- (eg: X-45853-S). Has anyone got other pics of 353's in AAF service in England (hardcabs preferred of course!)

N.O.S - I'll get the tractor/tank trailer pics scanned very soon for you!
