What is it
I am still trying to find out a little more on this truck Tony. Yes it is built by Toyota to a M37 spec. Motor is the Toyota F motor or a copy of the Chev Blue Flame. Gearbox and Transfer cases look to be a copy of the New Proccess stuff used in Ford and Dodge trucks but with synchro. Diffs are Timken and use the Ford stud pattern.
I have pushed the weapons carrier to the back of the shed and intend to use this Truck for next years trip due to time constraints on the restoration.
If any one knows a little more on this trucks use by armed forces pleased to hear about it. I am told that they were built for the US, Japanese and Korean armies for use in SE Asia and that they saw service during the Korean Conflict. Any news on were to find bits and pieces appreciated.
