Default New Air Force 5 ton or whatever...

Just enjoy the the pics. All I can say is that they are Air Force and they are made by international.

Default ughhh

Who specs out the trucks for the military. I wonder if they ever called on a fleet thant ran IHC 7400's in any number and asked them about their downtime/life cycle costs. The IHC 7400's in the industry that I work have not worked very well to be nice. From the electrical gremlins with IHC's multiplexing to the DT466/DT570's shelling out injectors and turbo's like crazy. The days of the mechanical and durable DT's are longggg gone. What happened to real miliatary trucks?

One of the neatest things I see is those buck five farm girls driving the Oskhosh's. I had an 18 year old female soldier, that if she was lucky, wieghed 105. It was the neatest thing.

Looks like they even come with a sleeper so you can take a nap while waiting for someone to tow you back to base..... Now how thoughtful is that.
