Gun truck history
Army Logistician, May-June, 2006 by William T. Buonaugurio
The article on gun trucks in the January-February 2006 issue ["Gun Trucks: A Vietnam Innovation Returns," by Major Dean J. Dominique] was most excellent! I appreciated its lessons relearned from the Vietnam-era gun trucks theme and how that experience can be applied in today's world. However, armored 2 1/2 ton cargo "deuce" cabs may have had their beginning before Vietnam. Attached is a photo of a World War II-era Army CCKW 2 1/2-ton truck with
an armored cab that I saw during a visit to the SS John Brown Liberty Ship memorial in Baltimore, Maryland, in October 2005. This truck was formerly part of the U.S. Army Ordnance Museum outdoor exhibit at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
