Studebaker also built the T-27 armored car (or "Scout Car") for the military during WWII, but the Chevrolet design was selected for production. The T-27 was an 8-wheeled vehicle sporting a turret with 37mm gun.
The M-8 as the winning design was designated for production was widely used by reconnaissance and cavalry units, especially in the European Theater by both American and British units.Poet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune. As always...self-absorbed, adversarial, cocky and in general a malcontent.

Believe Studebaker was also responsible for the T-21 below as well.
Chris mentioned another version of truck. Shortly after the war started, it was clear that current 2.5 ton trucks had a profile that made them easy targets - believe the US6 was eleven feet tall in some configurations. So the idea was to build a low silhouette truck that would be a little more stealthy. IIRC, Studebaker built two different examples, one that was single rear axle, the other being dual.
