Hi
If this helps for starters, you can read about the Form 4 approvals
needed for importation of any US built equipment that is on the Dept of
State's SME list. I am not an expert in this area but I have heard that
a truck should not be covered, but then I heard that any vehicle that
mounts or is equipped from the manufacturer to mount a weapon is on the
list.

Paul,
Where can I read that it is unlawful to import a U.S. made military
vehicle in to the United States?
