"A pickup truck with a machinegun in the back, the classic. Cheap, fast, abundant and easy to maintain, but most importantly its multifunctional. The Snakehead can fulfill different roles by simply swapping out the standard anti-infantry machinegun for another weapon or equipment. So far there is a light anti-armor variant armed with a recoilless rifle, a repair variant equipped with a sophisticated remote controlled welding arm, and what Mad Bombers call the "Boomer": basically a small truck bomb and easily the rarest variant because nobody likes riding shotgun with a Mad Bomber on a suicide mission they did not sign up for."

- The Safekeeper, entry #100


Notes:
-Can carry 1 passenger (size limit 1)
-Default heavy machinegun is replaced with an alternate weapon when carrying the corresponding infantry

While I like the basic concept of the technical (every faction with a scrapyard-ish theme should have one!), I don't really dig the name - it's too specific and obscure. Why not name the vehicle after a certain species of snake, perhaps one @home in a sandy habitat, rather than a specific bodypart?

Duster? Aside from the name, I like it. It is quite clean. Maybe too large for my taste, but that is your mod.

Updated voxel and a few stats change.

When carrying a Mad Bomber, the Snakehead will be turned into a suicide bomb vehicle, using the same death weapon as it's passenger. Given it's fast speed and poor armor, this allows the Guardians and Warriors to emulate the Scavengers' Martyr car bombs although its not necessarily a better alternative to the Deliverance demo truck (its still strong enough to heavily damage or destroy light structures).

Here's a pic of one of them exploding:
