I saw this pop up on ebay,

The SP's had these when I was active duty, working the flight line gets boring at times. So a couple of the SP's were also Mopar guys, we used to run these down the taxiways at "high Speed" if you want to call it that about 80-90 is all they had, Stopping on the other hand was the real excitement! Can you say smoke and more smoke and not a lot of stopping.
Which brings me back to poor choices the US military has made over the years, the company that made these I am not sure I could ever look at my self in the mirror. Basically the chassis is a 3/4 ton Dodge pick up with ZERO upgrades and I mean nothing.
I know a lot of people say, "that's what the military ordered" but whoever wrote that request for build should not do this kind of jobs. I could rant for hours on this and what I saw overseas once the golden spicket got turned on, I would make some of these contractors ride in what they build so they can learn what a poor design is like!
