G'day Clive.
New one on me, I assume that the radio's, mast and batteries weigh 1/4 ton? Leaving a payload of 3/4 ton.
ARN listing shows no change of weight classification, according to my calculations there were 14 FFR in the Australian Army, which would be one FFR to ten GS.
Yet to see any Army reference to these trucks as a "Commer".
These days it's hard enough saying "No, not Hummer, HumBer" without going down the "actually it's a Commer" route with the ensuing explanations.
