Alexander ◊ 2006-05-06 02:06	It is definitely base on a US halftrack, which were produced by White, Autocar, Diamond T, and International Harvester. The military numbers for these vehicles were M2 (Autocar, White) M3 (Autocar, Diamond T, White) M5 (International Harvester) M9 (International Harvester) plus special versions M4 (White) M13 (Autocar, Diamond T, White) M14 (International Harvester) M15 (Autocar) M16 (White) M17 (International Harvester) M21 (White) T48 (Diamond T) It is impossible to say on which version and thus which producer this conversion is based. As White designed the halftracks and most of White's halftracks were M2 I will use that name.
