While I was searching for real world 6x6 military trucks, I came across THIS APC that is simply awesome looking. I like the old A.P.C. as is just fine, but this project looks like a lot of fun!!! Just imagine if the big H would just toss some springs and tires like this on their toys.
I was originally inspired by the Desert Fox on these searches, I was curious if there was a "jeep" or something that the 'Fox might have been based on. Not a truck, but I was looking for something more jeep-like. With some armor, of course.
There is this site with fascinating jeeps. The "T24 armored scout car" has a slightly similar 'Fox flavor, but I suppose, there are so many real-world vehicles that may have served as inspiration for the Desert Fox.
Other interesting real-world vehicles that came up in search results was the "M53/59 Praga" and "M8 light armored car." There are even "6x6 Landrovers."
Lots of cool stuff out there in the world!
