The record

The C304 was the shorter of the two 6x6 C300s, with the same cab and engine as the C303 and a third axle in a bogie; it served the Swedish Army as the Tgb 13 in small numbers and a few reached civilian and expedition owners.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
