I can't find a photo just now,
From memory Jeff Plowman had a single dark image in his first edition of AFV of NZ. Jeff would be the one to describe the conversions done.
A friend who served in Italy, then post war in the NZ regular army, described carrying carriers side ways on the deck of a GMC so they could carry more than one! That was in the days when the Army did its own thing.
I have a Bedford RL which is adapted for carrying a carrier. It has a D ring in each corner for chaining it down, and timber planking on the steel deck for the tracks to sit on. It was done in the 1990's and was certified by a Consulting Enginner for use on the road. It allows for the truck to be stripped down to a flat deck if preferred to reduce weight, but still be within the law.
