This is a quick one, probably - did any PIP 5-tons - M or XM 809's etc - make it to Vietnam prior to the end of the conflict?

I read something that didn't make sense- I always thought that only M39/G744 trucks were used then.

Been reading recent legislation in your free time are ya? ;)

The M809 series trucks, to my knowledge, never made it there. I have never seen a pic of one over there, and I have seen thousands of Vietnam vehicle pics. All the 5-tons in Vietnam I have seen were M-54 based cargoes and their relatives.

Anyone have a picture of a M543A2 in Navy colors???
