Yep, AKA the *Duck* per WWII designation DUKW. We stripped the old GMC straight-six MOGAS engine out of one to keep another working [Katrina/Rita effort] and are now examining options for replacement of the old stovebolt six with a Diesel...maybe, MAYBE a href="http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/issues/2004/Jul/Army%20Ponders.htm">the Navistar V-6 diesel considered for Humvee engine replacements in the sandbox.
