You are correct. What I should have spelled out is that the best examples on the market are Swiss surplus. Very low mileage and meticulously maintained. The Belgian and French are supposed to be junkers.

I have been thirsting for a radio truck - full body - example for a long time, but Mrs. kitchen insists I first reduce the vehicle stable by five.

Hey, if you like the Pinzgauer, there's a German VW/Audi "jeep" with a bed that accepts a NATO pallet. Full time 4WD, 5 speed with creep, 1.6l diesel. Would make a great little run-about.

Ah, gotcha, that makes lots of sense, on the Swiss milsurp Pinzgauers vs. French/Belgian.

And yeah, that jeep sound fun, but I really don’t have a home for such a beast. And I’m a pretty good Audi wrench, for a DIY type. Do you know if it uses a Torsen center differential, like most Audis of the last 15 or so years, or something else?
