M16A1
this halftrack had all original armor. it looks like the front armor was off an m2a1 halftrack.
needs front roller, m16a1 data plate, rear door latch, pedestal mount headlights,ect.
they tried to make it look like an m16 halftrack by cutting the cutting the drops on the top of the rear armor but the cut out pieces are in the rear of the bed and used to reinforce something so it may be easy to put them back.
