Part of a Life Magazine series on maintenance in an armored cav or mech infantry unit in Vietnam. Here they've pulled the pack from an M113..an early version with the Chrysler 75m V8 gasoline engine before they went to the Detroit Diesel V6

Here's an overall of the same scene to put it in context:

I tried to find more information about that scene for more than a year. Thanks for that.

 

I commanded an M113A1 ACAV in VN and am familiar with most public access pics out there. If you have questions about any others, PM me.

Nice HRM feature on the Chrisman-Barris-Gillis coupe here. Doesn't look very comfortable.
