Thread: Dodge Weapon Carrier.....I think that's what the owner said

I went into Wonnangatta Station in one in the early 70's. We must have cut a foot off 50 or more logs as most were only cut wide enough to allow a Landie or Yota through. The owner had a couple of honed out hubs to use as free wheeling hubs. I see that one has real FWHubs ??...

These are formidable performers off road. Remarkable when you consider how long ago the basic design was laid down.

I believe that Nissan also made a copy of the weapons carrier. It was part of the macarthur plan to get Japanese industry back up and running post WWII.

The FQ15 was imported by Thiess and unsuccessfully offered to the Army and the Snowy Hydro.

Pete (LR V8 and AGAS 5) took an image of an FQ15 at the 2007 Cooma Motorfest.

(just to upset the MV collectors)

Looks like they can handle some serious rubber!


SOA also - easy to lift legally...

The Power Wagons had a different cab and bonnet to the weapons carriers.

Thats not a Power Wagon, this is a Power Wagon

Ted Briggs of LROC in the 70s had a power wagon, I've got a video of it from a Wirraba Ridge trip, courtesy of Bobslandies
