When I was a boot that was the thing I got to drive right out of the chute. What a POS. 3-71(?) Detroit Diesel 3 cylinder 2 stroke. It beat walking I suppose.
Word on the street was Lady Bird Johnson owned a lot of stock in the company that made that piece of crap.
The military industrial complex cashing in on the backs of normal Americans once again.
When I was going through LANCE Missile Officer training we had those and were told they were part of the MTOE for a firing platoon. Fortunately, by the time I got to a unit, the US Govt needed to bail out Chrysler Corp. so we were given Dodge pickups instead as an M-880. It was a maintenance nightmare due the brand new concept of the electronic ignition. We learned to carry a replacement ignition module for a quick change-over when it crapped out.
