Does anyone have any in-country pics of any 5-ton M51 dump trucks in Vietnam being used as gun trucks? I talked to a vet not long ago, who said that whenever the GIs in his unit could get a ride in a dump truck, they preferred to pick that instead of a standard cargo truck, since the metal sides of the dump body afforded some protection from the VC roadside attacks. That was standard dumps, however. Then, recently I saw a model of a 5-ton M51 dump that had been made into a gun truck. I don't have my new copy of Hard Ride Vol. 1 yet, so I have nothing to go on. Anyone have any pics of the dump trucks with guns and armor mounted?
