30 or more years ago it was deuce & a half with a set of quad 50's in the back, very effective.

Nope, it was a 5 ton with the quads in the back ( I know - being picky). A deuce and a half was not powerful enough, no acceleration, no power steering and it could not carry enough ammunition for the quad mount. Our quads also had an M60 on a pedestal behind the cab to cover the road to the front before the quad could be brought into the fight.
