This has been driving me crazy for many years... Around 1969 I along with 9 other Marines were sent to a base in Georgia, I believe it was in Albany. I think it is a 10 week course with driving and complete top echelon maintenance. This APC or PC had a V8 Chevy/GM gas powered engine and a Turbo 350 or 400 transmission. A top speed of around 50MPH and of course could be driven in water. I remember an aircraft like steering wheel and a lever for normal and pivot operation >>

The difference between M113... it was completely open and capable of 81 MM Mortar and 50 CAL... >>

I have never seen a picture of the APC anywhere to this date. It had US ARMY markings that were faded and the joke was the entire floor housed an internal fuel tank and the vehicle either had a great deal or all magnesium incorporated, so it was like driving a bomb… >>
