This set covers American "guntrucks," i.e. improvised armored vehicles based on the M54 5-ton truck and the M113 APC armored personnel carrier. The carefully designed decals correspond to real-life vehicles named "The Lifer" and "The Colonel", which played an important role in convoy protection on dangerous Vietnamese supply routes between 1967 and 1973.
