Limo in Iraq??

This is a truck that came into our camp recently. I heard that it used to belong to some bigwig for the State Dept but now its one of our Evac trucks.
6 door Suburban Dually with 4 rows of seats and uparmored but thats not the best part. I got to look under the hood and the best I can tell it has a 572 in it. It resembles the one that Arizona Speed and Marine sale but if I am incorrect, someone feel free to chime in. It has tons of torque!

I am in Al Hilla/Babylon. I have 25 more days till I am DONE over here. Two years has been enough for me.

There is another truck similar to this one but it only has 4 doors. It feels like its about to pull the front end up it has so much torque. I would love to have a Suburban Dually with that motor!

If we get overrun and have to evacuate the camp, its one of the ones that we get out in. I am a driver of a Suburban with an 8100 motor in it. Those are pretty quick.
