here is one off to fight in nam,..
they could have been a great thing but as allways the wheels fell of the wagon,

Yeah the wheels fell off, no doubt due to the :"independent suspension on all 4 wheels"

Self destruction - LC100 series style.

That and the truck is 1/2 commi,.. During the war I bet there was gov agents out side of every dealership writeing down the names of people in grey shirts or red socks and ties as they showed interest in the 1/2 commi tractor,..
Might be why they were only used as blood boxes in the war,.. Neither side quiet knew who they belonged to, and left it alone,
