A little while ago my wife and I attended a local WWII themed show. I took lots of photos of the many cool period vehicles. Some I know the name of/type, others, like this one:

… I don't. It'd be great if some of you knowledgeable folk helped me fill in the blanks, so to speak. The full photo report post on my blog is here:

Looks like a 1/2 ton Dodge. The military decided they didn't
need 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks and concentrated on the 3/4
ton trucks. The 1/2 ton vehicles were pretty much early war.

you can see elements of the dodge wc and gmc 6x6 in this vehicle, phased out as wildman said, too many weight classes.

"The funky US truck looks like a M3 Scout Car (called the White Scout Car in Commonwealth service).."

Yup. And painted up as a vehicle belonging to 21st Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery, Guards Armoured Division.
