Where do you find this information out. When I have googled it I have pictures of the truck with the two extra wheels on the front axle but I didn't realise it was because it was used as a primary mover.

I've been reading & listening to military stuff for over 60 years, so I have all sorts of arcane info rattling around in my head. Both the big Mack & Corbit 6x6s also had this feature as they were also used as arty & engineer prime movers respectively. Your version pulled 105s mostly & later 3" AT guns I think. The 1.5 ton weapons carriers were limited to 57mm AT guns I believe. Photos show they also added deuce'n'ahalf rear tires to the front axle while using the front winch w/an A frame to lift heavy things when not having the two spare tire feature of the prime movers.

I still have to do the weathering and add some Jerry cans and hopefully some pioneer tools.
Suggestions are always welcome.

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't posted any more pics but I am currently deployed in Oman. So as soon as I am back in the country I will hopefully have finished the weathering. Thanks for being patient.

Good evening gentlemen,

I am calling this kit done. I will post some final pictures tomorrow. It has not been fully weathered as i am waiting to get a field gun for it to tow and to load it up with stowage.
