This truck is in service with our Philippine Marines. Probably a US made M35 something... I'll have to check back. As you can see it has been modified by adding armor plates on the flanks and mounted with the good old M60"pig". I'm pretty sure the door to the cabin is also modified. What you can't see is that the back is also armored. This is of course used to transport our troops to the "front", "side" and "alleys" of our guerilla wars. Mostly in my region where we battle extremists. The odd thing here is, they didn't think of putting armor over the windsheild.

Our Army and Marines modified these, sort of like a poor mans APC which we are. Damn RPG's & landmines keep knocking our inventories out. We also have humvees modified along these lines and some Bigfoots that were recently donated.

Since this is still in essence a truck, albeit modified with armor, I was wondering if this is acceptible for the campaign? I think this thing crossed the line between softskin transport and armored transpot.



Quite unusual huh. If this is possible I'll start with the bigfoot since it is readily available here.

This is acceptable as an entry to 'Move it' campaign.

But please put the words 'Move It' at the begining of your subject line in future as this makes it easy for me to see what posts are for this campaign.

I would hate to miss an interesting post like this one
