72" seems very wrong...maybe 22" or so. Nice to see this ol trooper again. Parts of mine still turn up in my spares box 52 years later.

Fording ability would be more about the height of the intakes, and your desire or otherwise to get wet feet. Consider the high level intakes on off-road land-rovers as an example. IN which case 72" might be possible I guess

72" is correct; the full water-proofing of the engine, including sealing all parts of it's 24V electrical system is shown in this war dept video: Youtube Video ... a neat truck. Nice model Curtis.

Very neat! I will have to pick one up - so I don't have to worry about putting together the original issue Monogram 2 1/2 I got in the stash! LOL Thanks for sharing the video, also!

Love the discussion. Building scale models brings history alive and this discussion certainly proves that. My Dad was 3rd Armored Division in the Korean conflict working as an operating engineer. He didn't like MASH 4077 because he said all his tucks had canvas tops. This 2-1/2 ton transport and 5 ton wrecker both have the canvas tops, so they remind me of my Dad.

Saw this vehicle on Yukon Men. On the TV show the village faced flooding as the ice broke loose on the river and the one guy said that this truck saved them as they were able to cross the river even with the water up to the floor of the cab.
