Aww come on Eric, who are you going to ask about these things?

Fred Crismon's excellent US Military Wheeled Vehicles, P307, describes this as one of the strage low silhouette trucks.

Note that the front end is too nice for a tin-bashing job, the full-width dashboard but with the steering column offset even further to the left and at a strange angle - even the Chevrolet engine.

Just three things would stop me from buying this;

1. It's REALLY ugly, and not ugly-cute.
2. Fred's shot of the original was a winch model and this one isn't.
3. I've no money anyway...
