I should also add that this box was built at Letterkenny Army Depot from some striker steel, so not really being built by Livermore it is of our design, Letterkenny built some of our boxes more as troop carryers then gun boxes, the difference being single walled rather then double walled, At...

Here's one of our Livermore boxes on a LMTV, it belongs (belonged?) to a engineer outfit outta Bagdad---The sister truck to this one was hit with small arms and a IED but no one was hurt----I have photos of our boxes that were hit and the photos cleared by the House Armed Seveses Committee but...

Here's another truck that just couldn't quite fill the bill, its a FMTV Which some like but from what I gather most don't--anyway--it was called the pimp mobile, but all the stuff on it made it just too heavy to get down the road, unlike our older trucks that were rated 5 tons off road and maybe...
