I'm from Sweden and here we have (had) a 6x6 / 2.5 Ton (60's) army truck
called "TGB 934" made by volvo. They were in service until last year. When
all remaining in the military got scrapped. (~600 Units)
I just wondered, Volvo made those trucks, there where volvo diesels in
them and the axles where difflocked toploaders. If you look at this
picture you see a heap of axles that are going to be melted (couldent be
chewed by fragmentation machine) -I wondered, are those an american
license? -Because the Swedish are vacuum difflocked, i havent read
anywhere that the american are? -Just wondering if it is the same axle?
(Here in sweden they practically vacuum difflock every piece of military
vehicle)
I read a lot of american 4x4 magz, and the boys that builds out of 2.5T
stuff never mention difflocks.
