Drove the duce and a half all along hwy 9 from Dong Ha to Khe Shan, pulling Artillery, not a vehicle I would want to tow a 5r with, great power but not great speed. Even split shifting it sucked at getting speed....now in mud, great... all wheels pulling can't hardly stop it. Watched the traffic on Ho Chi Min Trail from top of 881s NW of Khe Sahn in spring of 67. They could shoot at us, we couldn't shoot at them, wonderful war huh.. gotta love politicians running a war.
My Fav vehicle was the mitey Mite....all aluminum mini jeep 1500 lbs of get up and go...shot wheel base gave ya a yippie ki a ride ! lol
