INTERNATIONAL ACCO 4x4 Truck

INTERNATIONAL ACCO 4x4 Truck Bandiana 2014

Here is one of themany ACCO trucks on display at the Australian Army Corps Museum, Gaza Barracks, Bandiana. One of the things I love about these military vehicles is the multi-purpose nature of the design and construction. This guy has a tray bed, equipped with fold-down seats for troop transport. The bed is timber planks between steel runners, so it can take heavy items without destroying the timbers, then there are recessed tie-downs around the edge of the load tray as well as tie-down rings on the outside of the body. There's a winch that can operate from either end of the vehicle and a tow hitch with air-brake connectors. On top of that, it's all-wheel-drive. Im guessing this truck has at least had a respray as there is no indication of a vehicle number. ACCO stands for Australian Constructed Cab Over (ie: cab-over-engine layout).
