Oh, I hate these older army rounded-lines. I’m guessing Canada used them much earlier than the U.S. army. Or it’s a civilian K-20 Custom Deluxe Fleetside done-up to look like its from a military background, which I doubt. Never been able to look up enough info on them, perhaps I'm not looking in the right places... -- Last edit: 2012-05-15 00:23:29 |

Why? |
|
◊ 2012-05-14 23:55 |
Because I can’t easily dig up information on them. I don’t know their background, or what the Canadian army called them. As a civilian, it’s a 1975 Chevrolet K-20 Custom Deluxe Fleetside, but if its from the Canadian armed forces, they may had called it something else. -- Last edit: 2012-05-14 23:57:29 |

I was just reading that, when I returned, I saw your link...  They say it was called a "Five-Quad" and they had permanent four-wheel drive (and I see no locking hubs on our specimen, which is inline with what they are saying). -- Last edit: 2012-05-15 00:22:51 |

It appears most of theirs were '76s, although someone made a mention of a '75. Which would match the grille design. |

I don’t see dual front lap & shoulder safety-belts, which were introduced in 1975 for the 1976 model year. So likely ours is a 1975 model. Unless Neon can give any further interior captures that would more clearly show or not show the dual front L&S belts (if possible). List it as a 1975-1976 Chevrolet Five-Quad ??? -- Last edit: 2012-05-15 00:33:28 |

I suppose we can do that. Made for Canada as well. |

I've not any interior capture this time, but I don't exclude that actually there are |

1976 Canadian "Five-Quad" as mentioned. Full time 4wd, no locking hubs, Chev 350 gas engine, THM350 transmission, NP203 (I think) transfer case. Canadian Army used them as a general purpose one-ton, though it had troop seats in the back for troop transport as well, and typically a gas-powered 'Southwind' cargo compartment heater as well. The cargo-area cover was not the same as the later American 'CUCV' type truck despite the fact they look similar. Vehicle had 12V and 24VDC, and had full military blackout lighting and the standard military 'three-lever' blackout light switch still found on HMMWVs. Seats were usually a bench seat, though the ones with the pod mounted on the rear instead of the cargo box tended to have bucket seats (many were also re-purposed later in life, so you had some interesting combinations.) The vehicle came in cargo, line-laying, shelter-carrier and pod versions. Canada used them up into the late 1980s when they were replaced by the current LSVW. It was purpose-built military and made at the Canadian GM plant in Oshawa and NOT something that someone just cobbled together to resemble a military vehicle, which is what you frequently read on various forums (understandably as there aren't that many out there.) The one in the picture there was owned by one Ian Fryatt at the time of 'Sentinel', from what I recall, and it had been repainted in the 383 'CARC' NATO 3-color scheme (though a non-standard pattern!) to resemble an American CUCV. Canada ran them with a different three-color scheme (two different greens and black in broad swathes) using IRR paint which weathered *very* badly - so for film they tend to get repainted and repainted. I had two of them on "Jeremiah" though they were heavily modified by the time they hit the screen. As far as I know they were all 1976 model year. |

Also, I see in one of the pics of the rear (the explosion one) there are coloured square stickers on the back - which is a trademark of Fryatt's vehicles (he sticks them on everything!) What they are is delineator plates used by the US Army in Europe to increase visibility of the rear of slow moving military vehicles on the Autobahn. You'll see them on a bunch of vehicles for stuff that was filmed here in B.C. - at least the ones with vehicles supplied by Fryatt. |

Outstanding information, and thank you very much for taking the time to share it. .gif ":)") I’ll change the year model to 1976. |

Good morning from Germany! I have one of those very rare five quad for sale. Can you please help me? Who Might Be Interested? What is such a vehicle worth in the US and Canada? Best greetings from Bavaria |
