Description
The M923 Hillbilly Gun Truck is a medium cargo truck that is representative of today's generation of logistical vehicles. It entered service in the early eighties and has an extremely sturdy structure and excellent off-road features. Many versions have been produced based on this chassis, including wrecking trucks, tank trucks, mobile maintenance and communication trucks. The A-1 version is characteristic because of its large off-road tires which have earned it the nick-name "big-foot." During its operational use, and in particular in the most recent military campaigns in which it was employed as Iraq and Afghanistan, the Big Foot has often been modified with the addition of home made protections to reduce the damages caused by the fire of light weapons. However, the personalization of the vehicles, made on field by the crews, were possible thanks to the excellent platform offered by the M923 trucks.
