Pretty rare jeep I would think.

What would have been the purpose of such a creation when larger trucks would have been available (image back to front of course):

Use on soft ground or Navy carrier?? Anyone seen these in action?

It does not take much water to make foam, I forget the size of the foam tank on the 530B 2/12 ton Pumper, but 50 Gallons might be it. The Foam additive came in 5 Gallon Cans.

I guess the weight of the water tank must be substantial as they mounted twin wheels on each side in the rear.
