History and Use

Gun Trucks were used by the United States Army during the Vietnam War (1965-1973) as improvised armored vehicles intended to protect supply convoys against Vietcong ambushes. Based on M35 and M54 trucks, they were fitted with armored cargo beds and various weapons, including M2 Browning machine guns and automatic cannons. Known and valued for their versatility, mobility, and firepower, they became symbols of the American convoys' struggle on the dangerous roads of South Vietnam.
