See this youtube footage of a Dutch GM C60X climbing a slippery path in the Ardennes:

... and fording a stream:

This video was shot back in 1988, so the quality is not that good - but well worth watching, I think.

Richard, indeed a good day was had by all.

I find it interesting to see CMP trucks being used like this which is quite rare here. Also to compare this 6x6 with its big wheels with the ubiquitous GMC CCKW with smaller wheels.

Seeing the side marker lights, this could be an ex-Danish Army C60X. The Danish had a number of GS versions with a high sided cargo bed per the attached pic.

But this preserved example seems to be fitted with an ex-GMC cargo bed.
