Default What Is This?

OK, I was just Googling "military vehicles" and at the top of the list was this pic of this truck. My question is...what is it? Obviously some 5-ton (or larger?) but it has something similar to an m109 shell on the back with a space between it and the cab. Hard to see what is there. Any info would be cool. Thanks.

The fluids will leak out and eventually it will stop. But it is not instant by any means. A .338 or even a .300 will do the same thing. No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that can be done with any number of weapons. -Chris Kyle, "American Sniper"

Totally AWESOME, that is what it is.

I think it hangs out on the wet side of WA state.

I think you guys are right, it does look like an m814. But the shelter is definately different than the second pic down Bones. It has windows, and no bed, the shell is the body-not sitting in one. Plus, there is something in between the cab and shell. Thanks.

It was said to be at Fort Worden, but I don't know where that is...

109 box but the air filter is different from the 814. Rubber forward 814 rubber backwards. I don't know but looks like an MV to me.

Petesos- what model, do you think?

Does anybody notice the body is different than an m109? At least the window covers are gone, not sure what else.
