Don't Forget that most Gun Trucks were 5 tonners.
Also and interesting thing was that toward the end of the Vietnam war, some
fast thinkers came up with the idea to put M-113 APC hulls in the back of
them too.
PS I was not their, I have the Squadron/Signal book, Gun Trucks. You can get
this one at any larger HOBBY/Model Shop.
