CF LSVW photo reference gallery

After much trial and error, I think I have the photo thing figured out. Here are some shots from the line training troop at Kingston.

I remember our first ex with the LS, Rad troop had their vehicles in the field and where doing their thing when I got the call that all the vehicles had quit, whet out and slaved them and took a look, they were all charging at only 24 volts , now teach all the det commanders to pull out the throttle to get the output up to 28 volts, back in the sack , next call, everybody is frozen in the pod, get your ground sheets out kids and cover the front to restrict air flow , now the kids are all warm as bunnies, then it was POL time and there is diesel fuel flying everywhere, we get back and out comes my screw driver and away go the little screens in the fuel tank neck, problem solved, now try to teach them how to cold start a diesel , I would still take 10 LS to 1 G-wagon , the LS is a dumb truck , anyone guess what I'm talking about here?

I am trying to keep this thread as kind of a spine of LSVW information of the general type.

I have been sorting through what is called, domestically, junk but I call it reference material.

I found this today, one of the gems that I have saved.

Robin, that's interesting. I recall passing one of the Western Star locations on the way to meetings in Kelowna back in the day. The lot was full of LSVW units but I never thought to stop and take a few pictures.

We all know where Western Star is now....

Interesting bit of history Rob.
Interesting in that it documents how politicians sell their plans and policies to the unwashed masses. That it will be a military and civilian truck with dozens of uses, forestry mining etc.. with "2000" options to suit every need.. and provide jobs for many years into the future...
