Well, as promised in the past here is some pics of the GMV fittted for armament repairs. Its a 4 sp manual, 6X6, top speed of about 120km/ph, and is turbo charged, yet under powered with a 4 cyl Izuzu engine.
We carry a number of things on board, such as gas and stick welding gear, 4 jerries of H2O, 2 jerries of dieseline, 5 days rats, first-aid kit, a swag of spare wpns parts, stove, folding chairs, tech library, pioneer kit, plus pers kit. Like all Australian trucks, the vehicle has an AA hatch on top for air sentries.
The vehicle can be re-kitted for artillery, and vehicle maintenance.
In the cabin, of course its RH drive, and there is three seats, and two F88 rifle racks. The pod has two gull wing doors which lock into position, and a 3rd door which opens up the back and also locks open. Two vices on two workbenches, plus a variety of securable drawers for tools and other things. Plus one can install a heater for the colder days, and each pod has a small fan.
For the CF EME pers who lurk in the shadows on this site, what do you think? Would the CF benifit in having a similar type of pod say fitted to a similar sized vehicle? Do you like the idea of the folding work bench? I remember the URks on the 5/4T Chevs very well. Hard to believe that they were 1975 and 1976 vintage.
Cheers,
Wes
