Realizing that acquisition of new vehicles was unlikely, the Marines modernized some of the LVT-3s and LVT (A)-5s under projects SCB-60B and SCB-60A respectively, and kept them in service until the late 1950s.

The LVTP-5 (landing vehicle, tracked, personnel 5) is a family of amphibious armored fighting vehicles used by the Philippine Marine Corps, the Republic of China Marine Corps, and, formerly, the United States Marine Corps. It was designed by the BorgWarner company and built by FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) along with a few other companies.

Similar to the LVT- (A)4 but with modifications, these included a power traverse and elevation stabilizer. The LTV-A5 never saw action in World War Two but featured in the Korean War.

The vehicle being offered, LVT (A)-5 “Modified” is an extremely rare vehicle with possibly only three left in existence. The interior and exterior are in unrestored condition. The exterior paint is original and still bears some United States Marine Corps (USMC) markings on it.

From this civilian prototype the Marine Corps developed a more powerful steel-plated military version called the Landing Vehicle Tracked, or LVT. Originally built in 1941 as an unarmoured cargo carrier called the amphibian tractor, or amtrac, the LVT quickly acquired armour.

Oct 24, 2022 · WWII saw the birth of the Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) amphibious assault vehicle, known variously as the "amtrak", "amtrac", "alligator", or "buffalo", among other nicknames.

LVT (A)5 - The LVT (A)4 was fitted with a power traverse mechanism and elevation stabilizer and was then designated LVT (A)5.

The LVT (A)-5 is an official version of the LVT (A)-4 taking all the modifications made on the "Marianas Model' ' of the LVT (A)-4: a machine-gun of 7.62 mm (.30cal) assembled on ball in front of the cabin and two machine-guns of 7.62 mm assembled on pivot on the sides of the turret, in the place of the machine-gun of 12.7 mm (.50cal).
