[rlux6]

I am a new member and was wonderiing if anybody knew where I could some information on a M132 medical van? I'm interested in the difference between it and the M109. Is the cab on an M132 connected to the cargo area or seperate like the M109?

I just googled it and came up with a picture of it and it's built on the 800 series 5 ton platform.

That's not an 800 series.

I don't know 5 tons, I'm a deuce guy. I know it's a multifuel 5 ton.

I too would like too know more about it. All I have seen on it is the "M" number listed, nothing else.

They must be a rare beast......I have owned a M109 and seen many more......I have never seen a M132 in person.

According to the wonders of the internet, I found the M132 medical truck is based on the M35 chassis, so it's a deuce. If it's any different looking than the M109, I have never seen one, and pictures online are non-existent.

Ditto - rare bird, especially if most of us have never heard of it...

The pic looks like the m54 with the Russian radio box that one of our UK members has, That pic is of a private owned truck, the bumper markings are all wrong, a few other things show it is not military

Plus the light bar on the cab is backwards (traditionally red lenses over the driver, unless this one has been converted to right-hand-drive).
