Overview[]

The Armored Infantry Vehicle, T73, abbreviated as T73 AIV, is a American prototype armoured personnel carrier developed in the early 1950s.

Development[]

The T73 began development as a cost reducing modification of the T18E1 on 3 January 1952 by G4.

The International Harvester Company was to complete the three remaining incomplete T18E1 vehicles under production order T-24478. These three vehicles were to use cheaper equipment, including the Continental AO-894-4 engine and Allison XT-500 transmission.

The completed T73 vehicles were trialed by the US Army, with the decision to further develop the T59 (which would eventually lead to the M113), and abandon the T73. Both the T59 and T18E1 were type-classified as M59 and M75 respectively. Production for both models were to see first deliveries in August 1953.
