The latest kit from Roden is a M37 US 3/4 ton 4x4 cargo truck – American all-wheel drive army truck.
The M37 was developed by the Dodge company in 1950, and incorporated all the best features of its WWII predecessors.

The trucks were widely used in a great variety of roles, besides which many machines were modified in field conditions with additional armour, and the M37 was sometimes fitted with large calibre machine guns of various types.

Series production of the M37 ended in 1968. During this time more than 115,000 units rolled off all the various production lines. Besides the U.S.A. and Canada, other significant operators were Israel and Greece.

Decal options for the kit are:
M37 US ¾ ton 4x4 cargo truck, US Army, Vietnam, late 1960th.
M37 US ¾ ton 4x4 cargo truck, RCAF, Korea, 1953.

FINALLY!! This is outstanding news! I have Vietnam dios that can really use these. Now, the next question, will they follow up with logic, and do the ambulance version as well?

Good question. Maybe they might all so release a better version of the WW2 ambulance. The old Italeri one is way past its prime. Got to add a P S to this Just checking out E-Bay a seller in the Ukraine all ready has this kit listed. $50.00 plus $12.00 shipping. I'll have to give my locale hobby shop a call.
