Hisham,
You are thinking of the Dodge pickups the military used from 1976 to I think the mid 80's. Then the chevy's were used. Spo we still will be missing a light wheel vehicle.

Ahhh the save Crysler fund....the M880.....now there was a true POS...but a model of the M880 would fill that gap going from the WC series to the M880 to M1008/9 to the HMMWV.....It would cover everthing!!

Rounds Complete!!

Yes we did, mostly reserve units at first then they trickled down to some reg force units. The AMB is the most prominant one in my memory as well, although in my time with 1 Field Amb in Calgary I can't remember if there were any there LOL.
