I found this old M809 in some truck yard today while out doin some stuff.
When I was in the army the 5 tons were long gone but guys told me they used to have them. I see they put jakes on afterwards when they bought a butt load from the Americans (when we had a division is Germany in the 70-80's) and cut a hole and riveted a nose scoop.
Obviously it was auctioned off at one time and some civilian use was found with it by the paint scheme.
