Nice pic, Mo. That thing is a beast.
I'm not sure you woud see many armored trucks until later in the war when...
a.) Dedicated AFVs became rare and replacements ceased to appear
b.) The front become more fluid and lines of supply became more exposed
Armored and "gun" trucks tend to appear when supply lines are threatened and supply convoys require armed escorts, hence the historical precendents of American involvement in Vietnam and Iraq and American and Soviet involvement in Afghanistan.
