Under (retd) General Leslie's rationalization plan, the LSVW size trucks were redundant. Sure, they made great campers for the Sgt major, but aside from some rear echelon ambulances, the bulk of them either should be larger armoured vehicles so they can be used in theater of war, or just gone altogether.
I read into that tender that all of those are getting shredded, and not broken down for spares. Shame.....that would have been a good source of parts for the LSVWs that do make it for sale. They are going to need them.
Seems like it could have made more sense to sell these 10 at a time for spare parts with the cab and frames having to be destroyed under supervision. As it is, they are most likely going to go for about $200 each.
