Two points to concider:
1) Economies of scale. How many trucks does a Ford or a GM make over a
particular vehicles production life? How many of these things, is S&S
making total? Things always cost less as quatity increases.
2) The S&S truck is a mil-spec design. The added cost to design, build and
test a truck to all the mil-specs required is monumental. Would a civy
truck handle the abuse of a mil truck and survive? Can a civy truck start
and run in the temperature range of a mil one? Can a civy truck meet the
EMI, EMC, and EMP and possibly Tempest test requirement that mil ones have
to? etc. adnausium............
I don't thing so.
