The weight information in the infobox and narrative both put the vehicle weight as 1.5 tonnes, which is converted to 1.7 tons via template. However, the specifications for this vehicle in Army Technical Manuals TM 9-2800 (p. 194) describe the truck as a 1 1/2 "ton" vehicle. This and other technical manuals were listed in an earlier edit of the article, but have been removed for some reason. In addition, it seems that the proper use of this statistic according to the template is to enter the actual vehicle weight, not a nominal weight. The removed technical manuals indicate that the actual vehicle weight was in excess of 6000 lbs (3 tons). Also, because this is a US vehicle, units should be given in the US version of English measures and converted to metric, not the reverse. --
