Those trucks will run on pretty much anything liquid & combustible - there's one at Doncaster which often comes to the car show (2 weeks time) along with a couple of jeeps.

Herman I was in Nepal with the Ghurka's in the sixties and we used to travel down to an airfield most days teaching them how to throw themselves out of aircraft (well it passes the time!)
On the way we would pass a massive road building project being paid for by the generosity of the Chinese Government,
I often wondered why the Chinese would want to build a two lane highway from China through Nepal to the Indian border all at their expence?
Something like 80% of the trucks were ex-US army GMC 6x6s, they took a hell of a hammering but just kept going, I don't no what they used for fuel but our Land Rovers pinked like all get out on the petrol we were issued but those jimmys just kept going shaun

In keeping with the OH&S theme, I really hope you informed those exiting the aircraft to adorn a parachute ??

Old Earl Waller drove those trucks on every Pacific Island there was conflict on. Swapped the odd one for scotch when he could, never ever witnessed or was instructed to make available a vehicle for even a simple oil change.
He never drove any motor vehicle once demob'd until well into the 60's and then very rarely according to his wife.
I happened across a few of the distinctive GMC 6X6 front grilles at a place I worked.
I restored one, mounted it to a wooden base with a plaque and gifted it to him as an 88th bithday present.

Blind as a bat but could spot a hundred dollar note from a mile at a gun show...............
