While the Swiss Army Mog is a Unimog-S 404.1 and shares most of the basic components with other 404's (chassis, engine, drive train, ...) it is different in many ways:

• The cargo bed has a few differences:
  • it's a one piece unit (i.e. the sides don't fold down).
  • the front canopy hoop isn't removable (i.e. it's welded to the the cargo bed).
  • 2 bench seats hang of the side of the cargo bed with 3 legs each that mount into a metal keyhole in the floor, or the legs can be used to latch the seats in a folded position, or the seats can be removed. Each bench seat seats 5 comfortably.

• The cab has a few differences:
  • the cab canopy has a wedge look to it (i.e. the back is higher then the front), this results in a fare amount of headroom in the cab.
  • the side windows seal tight to the cab and canopy with a rain gutter in the canopy.
  • 2 riffle racks to the left of the driver and passenger seat.
  • a short (~~ 4") box is welded to the back of the cab in back of the driver for stowing the removable side windows.

• Some other differences:
  • an after market vacuum booster on the brakes (this works real well, the truck stops on a dime).
  • no fuel gage on the instrument panel, instead a flat metal stick (mounted inside the passenger door) that's graduated in liters is dipped into the main gas tank.
  • instead of fuses circuit breakers are used.
  • the oil filler cap is connected to a chain mounted to the front valve cover bolt.
  • the hood prop has been moved to the passenger side towards the center of the hood.
  • a one-way valve is used for the axle breather (instead of the normal U shaped breather tube).
  • a two circuit socket with a screw cap is mounted on the floor right and back of the drivers seat for auxiliary 24V power (radio?), it's an unfused feed on the unswitched side of the NATO ground interruptor. It looks like it should be good for 20A of continuous power.
