Thought some may be interested to see this 1960's International Troop Transport we came across sitting neglected in the middle of a rubbish dump in a West Victorian town last weekend. Last registered in SA. Eveything on it was massive, must've weighed a lot. No doubt would 'go anywhere' but I can't imagine it would've been very comfortable!

Aus army was still using them in the late 80's. You are absolutely right, horribly uncomfortable.Quote:

God I cut my teeth on selling parts for these (aka butterbox) also old Bedfords, TJ TK etc, Dodges AT4's, D5N's. The good old days.
Mmmmm. You could throw some link suspension and big coilovers under it, make it a comfy place to be and power it with something like 6.7L or 8.9L cummins and Allison trans. The military spec 8.9 with 2010Nm of torque.
@nissannewby have this and the power wagon ;D
I like how the link states
