Other non US MVs. It is an "other", a "non US" and it is painted US MV color, correct? Is there a data tag in the truck? Pics or it don't exist :whistle:

The description for the "other non US" forum says,
A place for all other MV's not related to the US or others listed on the site.
Since these are ordered for the US government and used by the US government, I don't think it fits with that description.

When I get it home, I will definitely post pics and info as the project evolves.

I just wish I could figure out the best place to post it in before I start posting about it next week.

North Carolina - FINALLY !
As far as I have researched, only left hand drive mini trucks like this were ordered/manufactured by our government.

Right hand drive mini trucks are/were built for civilian use but in foreign countries. Then those get imported here when they are legal to do so.

I'd love to learn more about how these were/are used in service.
When I was assigned to McChord AFB in the late 90s my unit had several that we used all over the base. Very fun to drive. That's why I bought one. Fills the gap between the 4 wheeler and a truck quite nicely.

I would say the Motorcycles and ATV's, the Gators and the newer Quads are there. I had one many years ago can't remember the brand but the motor was the same 3 banger that the Cushman turf master used and was made by Kawasaki. The lower end and the transfer case were shelled so ended selling it off.

Yes, After a lot of consideration, that does seem to be a reasonable forum choice.

Be nice if the description had some kind of verbiage to include other miscellaneous vehicles(including the gators) too.

Thanks for the input.

Perhaps rewording the ATV/Mcy forum to support vehicle forum and revising the description would be best approach in my opinion.

" or others listed on the site"

I don't see "others listed on the site" like what you have.

Was hunting through DH's OP Threads for an appropriate place to post up this link.
Already sent a copy to him as a PM but also wanted to share it more broadly.

Considering the title and intent of this thread, and that DH started it, I have decided to stick it here.....
