Mechanic's 'Worthless' Truck Design Saved D-Day – Red Ball's 6,000 GMC Lifeline?"


🚨 How one mechanic's 'worthless' GMC CCKW truck design became the Red Ball Express lifeline, hauling 12,500 tons/day to Patton's Third Army! In this Empire Edge Blades deep dive, uncover the 2½-ton 6x6 beast's story: rejected by British in 1940 (too long wheelbase, underpowered 77hp), redesigned with 104hp engine, 562,750 built, powering 6,000 trucks in 54-hour round trips across 400 miles of bombed France. 75% African-American drivers (17,000 men) drove 25-60 mph non-stop, saving D-Day advance from fuel crisis after Mulberry storm. From Pontiac factory lines to bocage mud, see how the 'Deuce and a Half' outlasted German logistics—variants like dump trucks, tankers, ambulances fueled victory.
