Recorded originPortugal
Class6x6 medium tactical cargo truck
Conventional long-bonnet 6x6 medium truck developed for military and severe-service work. The Mk III shared key architecture and wheelbase with the heavier Pantera but used single rear wheels and carried approximately 3 tonnes cross-country or 6 tonnes on road. Period engine listings include 202 hp Chrysler/Dodge 318-3 and 210 hp 361-3 gasoline V8s and a 215 hp Perkins turbodiesel with five-speed manual transmission; later accounts also record Cummins power and six-speed gearing, indicating specification evolution rather than one universal engine. Army trucks included removable canvas cabs, while returned or later chassis received fire, recovery, tanker and municipal bodies.
