Default Volvos

In the late 1980s, the Army had a fleet of about 30 odd Volvo F12 or F16 prime movers, all leased and used as a stop gap vehicle after the Diamond Reos had been disposed of and before they purchased the International S line trucks.

There is an ex-Army Volvo still in full gloss olive drab on a farm near me. It's still working carting water for most of the year and grain during harvest.

Cheers
Rod
