Hello
I'm looking information about M917 Dump Truck in Iraq and (or) Afghanistan.
What type of CPK can I use on this truck ?
Is it possible to convert this truck to gun truck ?
Thank You for help

I have a feeling you are going to find that 917s werent really used that much in OEF, or OIF II. I cant speak of OIF 1 and im sure they were used in ODS....CPKs would probably be limited to home made armor, maybe doors....

I guess there was a few still around "A 20-ton dump truck driver from the 277th Engineer Company, based in San Antonio, hauls gravel that will be emplaced on the road. The engineers have just completed road repairs to a vital road that connects Camps Liberty and Victory" (July 2009)



Looks like the one above is fitted with the CPK armor kit just like this M920 :
