abn deuce Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 The partition is to limit the load placed in the dump bed when used as a dump truck as the dump body frame does not extend the entire length of the body. IE when you look above the gas tank or the spare tire you will see the hoist frame end's at the hinge of the partition. If you heat the hinge and work some penetrating oil into it it should come free. there may still be a handle /latch at the cab end of the partition in the middle cant recall if that turns or not take a peek when you raise the bed . Also you will see a slide bolt at each end of the panel on the bottom side or the cab side when raised . If the troop seats are in place you will need to raise the second leg so the panel will come up vertically then the slide bolts will move outward into matching holes in the sides of the dump .

abn deuce Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 To see this in action check out the issue #121 June 2007 of Military Vehicles Magazine on page 36 middle left or page 38 top. One other thing about the design of the dump body was that in service the rack side's were to be removed so that when the partition was raised and material was placed in the body like loose soil or similar it could only be piled so high at which point the angle or slope would then limit its amount by falling off the truck . this was a way to limit the max load being carried. The CCKW wasn't a real Dump truck not heavy enough frame or dump body, it was a multi-role vehicle cargo,troop carrier and dump truck.

Joris Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Wow Lawson, what a fantatic looking truck with the new addition of the troop seats. Unloading when full of troops will be a lot faster in a dump truck then a regular GMC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks abn now i know what that hatch is for...I also found a picture of a jimmy tipper with the hatch open in the same way that you explained...Thanks for your help abn Heres the picture i found with the hatch open so as not to let the load past the lifting gear http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/Lawson67/gmc-bruil.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Interesting that they converted the two to side dumping units. I d have thought with limited space they would still use end dumps? Nice that they have been saved from being scraped at least for a while longer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
