| This M551 of
‘G’Trp, 2/11th ACR refueling at an NDP gives an excellent view of several
typical modifications, including the added stowage rack on the back deck,
extended exhaust stack, and addition of an M-60 7.62 MG at the loader’s hatch
mounted on a .50 cal. pintle and feeding directly from a mini-gun ammo can.
Against all probability, the swim gear visible has survived, as have the smoke
grenade launchers that were seldom, if indeed ever, used. (D. Kibbey photo) |
