"Fitting up" the Kiwi's.
Tony, I bet you were right on it, when you said about fitting up the Acco's (and the Kiwi's)with the junk in the stores. I'd almost lay money on it that,that's why the first of the Acco's came with the CMP mirrors. Interestingly New Zealand bought the 6x6 gs cargo's and the dumpers and had them in service for about 5 years. It wasn't until I was posted to Singapore in May 75 that I saw my first N.Z. Army Acco 4x4 gs...... 1RNZIR inherited them when the Aussies pulled out of Singapore.
Nice studebakers in the photo, Whats the "L" plate for? Is it because its a left hooker?
