History of the Tamiya-based GMC atelier ST6
In order to carry out repairs in the field, US Ordonance equips itself with GMC workshop trucks. GMC 6x6s are quickly fitted with workshop bodies, as they offer superior storage capacity and space for mechanics.
Standard bodies are equipped with tool shelves, spare parts, vice and various repair materials. The GMC Atelier ST6 version is mounted on a long chassis with a folding body. This is equipped with a heating and ventilation system and a metal access ladder.
The ST6 body can be reduced in height by 60 cm, thanks to its removable side panels and windows. This is a very useful feature, as it reduces the vehicle's cubic capacity during shipping. From November 1942, only the ST6 version remained in production.
