Graeme,
To the best of my knowledge, the M60A1 never made it Viet Nam. The only varients that served in combat was the M60 AVLB & the M728 CEV. If you were going to do a hypothetical trial vehicle, you would need to change the tracks to T-97 chevron tracks as the T -142 octagon tracks did not appear on M60 tanks until the the mid to late 70's.
