LVT-3 Bushmaster (1944) Developed by the Borg Warner Corporation, this vehicle had engines moved to sponsons and a ramp installed in the rear similarly to the LVT-4. Some received armor kits. First used in Okinawa in April 1945. 2,964 units produced.
This was vehicle developed by Borg Warner which was similar in external appearance to the LVT 4, complete with stern ramp, but which had a single Cadillac 125HP engine mounted in each side pontoon and the Hydramatic automatic transmission used in the M5light tank (qv). This produced a vehicle of superior performance, more efficient than the Continental-engined designs. Called the "Bushmaster", it was produced in 1944 and first used in action at Okinawa.
