canadian five quarter

[trucknut]

I have been going through some old photos and thought I would share them with you. The pics are of the Canadian five quarter ton Chevrolet (1976). The cab and chassis is I believe the one I bought a decade later. Next are shots of the radio/ambulance body on the chassis. The last shots are of the pickup version complete with lots of guns.

Cool Beans! Haven't seen that body style in a long time!

Looks like the hood in pic #3 has the old 'bent hood' syndrome, very common to those years!

Brings back good memories! Thanks for posting!

Oddly, we inherited a few at work from the five-quads, but they're just the upholstered portions - complete military seat, bottom and back, NOS -- just no bases. In other words, if you have the base, the four bolts or whatever just come up through the bottom and into this seat. I'll see if I can do a pic if I get out there tomorrow.

Thanks for posting. I to also like the troop seats and the way the spares are mounted as well . Looks like the passenger's C1A1 has a 30 round mag from an L4 Bren gun installed.

If you look at pic #3 you can see the '76 Dodge W200 Power Wagon, very simular to the M880's, most notable difference was the 4 speed manual transmission.

Can't really tell from the photo, but that MIGHT be the full-auto C2, a squad automatic weapon with a heavy barrel and bipod.

It was issued with the 30-round magazine as a regular thing.

(I preferred the Bren, but they didn't ask me!)

Just remember guys that weapon discussion is only allowed in the Shooting Range forum
