Welcome to the
military trucks website where you can find information on
the vast line of military vehicles used by the Canadian Military.
While most of the information focus's on the M-series line
of military trucks, you will be able to find other trucks
from the UC line, Iltis's, MLVW's, CMP's and many more...
We have built this
website for several reasons. The main reason is to preserve
the heritage of these vehicles and the memory of the men and
women that served our country who spent hundreds if not thousands
of hours driving them. Another reason is to help enthusiasts
get the information they need to restore their military vehicle
or just add that authentic touch its been missing.
The
preservation of military vehicles is an important one. More
and more these days, governments as well as the military no
longer wish to sell military vehicles to the public for concerns
of possible liabilies. So the trucks are either being sold
as scrap, or not being sold to the public at all. If this
trend continues, future generations will no longer be able
to see and interact with these pieces of our history, other
than in a museum. This is a great shame, as one cannot truely
appreciate these vehicles without touching or sitting inside
of them to experience what our men and women in uniform went
through. Viewing them from behind a ropped off area is not
the same. Also by keeping these vehicles in running condition,
they can be used in parades and other outdoor activities where
most museum pieces are generally not displayed.
You
can click on one of the links in the menu to the left of the
screen to bring you to a page on a particular vehicle. There
you will find information on the vehicle, including what it
is, how it was used, technical specifications and pictures.
Several of the pages are still a work in progress and have
yet to be completed. Information is also being added all the
time to the various pages, giving you more information at
your fingertips. Also, if you have information to add, please
drop us a line and let us know.
The more information we can add to the site, the more we can
help others.
Come on, don't
let an old soldier down. Get in a army truck and keep the
memory alive.
