VN108-1               “M35A1 Gun Truck (Suzie Q)”

The M35 2 1/2 ton cargo truck was the mainstay of all the U.S. Forces transport throughout the Vietnam War and well into the 1980s.

Our King & Country model has the Quad-mounted .50 cal. Machine guns complete with a gunner manning the turret.

Upfront sits the driver alongside a pintle-mounted M60 machine gun and his personal M16 rifle.

This crew has also painted a rather attractive Vietnamese ‘pin-up’ called “Suzie Q” on the armor shield as well as the legend ‘Have Guns Will Travel’ (a reference to a then popular TV cowboy show back in the ‘States) on the Quad mount.
