I found the M548s to be a maintenance nightmare. They seem to rattle themselves apart.

The pickup style variant of the M113 has made it's way into theater for a couple of years now.

Back to Robin's original entry, if you check over the rear hatch on the M577, the CFR or a serial number should be stamped in the hull there.
