Hi Norm...
I believe you saw one of the family of medium tactical vehicles
(FMTV), which are the new replacements for the M35 and 5-ton trucks
that we drive and love.
I see them in all the NG yards around here, usually when no M35s are
at that facility.
Here's the home page for the company that makes them...I don't see a
shopping cart button though. ;)
