Unlike the pre-war models, there was no specific name for the "huge" versions: maybe we could call this truck family 'Art Deco', when the model is unknown, even if that's just a later fan nickname?

Wikipedia lumps the heavy duty trucks in as "AK series," though the consensus on this site seems to be that that nomenclature only applies to the light-duty pickups of this style. We probably do need to come up with some sort of model name for the purposes of categorization.

The same error was also made for a while in the IMCDb, but we now try to give their accurate names to these 1941-47 trucks. Hence the problem of the 1946-47 1½-ton and 2-ton models: they have a blank name just because we don't really know how to call them, for now...
