Knowing you have a problem is half the battle,I guess that applies to being a red neck. Since I am a red neck and don't have the real photo shop I do it this way. My Dream Truck!

Is that a Chevy with a GMC open cab or a GMC with a shortened wheel base and no last axle?

Chevrolet did not use the bumper that is depicted on the yellow CCKW, GMC did.

Thats the whole point of being a redneck photo shop,it's a LWB CCKW with a piece of siding covering the back axel!

That sure tricked me. What got me confused is that it had the short bed on there making it look like it only has one axle in back.

It was planned that way in order to confuse enemy agents.
