thomastractorsvc Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think the DM at the bottom is Australian, the other DM is Air Force, the Air Force has always had unique militarized commercial speciality trucks, the F and CI were probably proto types used for demonstrations for capabilities, I spent more than 20 + years in Army Transportation and the only trucks that I seen other proto type or displays were Oshkosh, AM Generals types and Freightliners. When I first joined I had seen a couple IH Transtars in Germany but they were being or had been replaced by the CCC/AM Generals M915s. After DS/DS I operated some leased non military Macks in Kuwait, in the early 90s after Desert Storm we operated them out of Doha as heavy equipment transports, also had some in the Sinai. There were a bunch of Petes/Kenworths that was leased and operated by some National Guard unit during DS/DS as line haul, it was funny to see a big red Kenworth with 425 cat, chrome, walk in sleeper hauling a 20 foot container in a 10-15 truck convoy and I was operating a M931 5ton tractor with 40ft tri axle and 2 20 ft containers, working the shit of the little 250 Cummings 1 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

rsb502 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Cat 3208.all the ones I saw for sale also had Allsion automatics.the military was pretty quick to adopt automatics, there were a ton of trucks with small v8's too all setup to run on diesel and jp8 most of the trucks we ran in IQ were running on jp8. I have seen lots of surplus trucks with 3208 cats and 8.2 Detroit's even the big het's have Allison automatics and v8's its a 500hp 8v92 but its a v8, the new het's supposedly have 700hp cat engines but I haven't gotten to check one out yet.
