It was common to see commercial tires on some of the USAF CCKWs in use in the 50s.

Some were used as School Busses to transport the children that lived on base. The CCKWS were Cargo Trrucks with Canvas, and they had a set of yellow painted steel steps attached to one side of the rear of the truck for boarding purposes. I used to envy those kids getting a ride on an Army truck. This is how it was done at Dow Field 46-49.
