DUKW’s, which affectionately became DUCKS to the many servicemen who appreciated their extraordinary mobility, was the result of a naming technique used by GMC. D, for the year it was designed, 1942, U for the utility nature of the vehicle (amphibious), K because it was all-wheel (like the K series GMC and Chevy Trucks) and W for the dual tandem rear axles.
