The Army says it’s made ‘significant improvements’ to its troubled new infantry squad vehicle

1930s Chevrolet

Recently spotted in the wild, a nice 1930s vintage (or maybe 40, 41?) Chevrolet pickup truck.

Studebaker

 

One of the old ones, still being used.

Studebaker pickup truck from the early 1960s.  Actually being used by a fisherman, much as it was originally intended to be.

Unimog

I don't know the vintage of this Unimog, which is another photo I originally posted elsewhere, but its a nice example of one.

The Mercedes Unimog is a great truck, one of the all-time classic trucks, really. Somewhat analogous to the Dodge Power Wagon, it was originally intended as a post World War Two farm truck designed to allow German farmers to have one vehicle that could do anything, from plowing to taking crops to market.  It's arguably the greatest series of 4x4s every made.  They've seen widespread military and industrial use.

Prewar Ford Pickup Truck.

 Also posted elsewhere, a prewar Ford pickup.

Prewar Ford

Ford pickup truck.  I'm not sure of the age, but no newer than 1940 anyway.  The details indicate that it is a V8.  This appears to be an unrestored original.  Nice truck.

Chevrolet Panel Truck

 Posted elsewhere some time ago, a beautifully restored Chevrolet panel truck.
