We see them out west. They were used on Air Force bases for getting crew to the planes. Contractors and logging companies picked them up at surplus sales. I tried to buy one for 15 years but the logger still used it until the mid 90s, then dropped out of sight with the truck. It was in a small town near where I used to elk hunt. It was still air force blue and had the military markings visible under faded touch up paint they used before the government sold it.
