The Alfa Romeo 430 is a 5-ton truck produced by Alfa Romeo between 1942 and 1950. It started as a military project (430RE) based on the larger Alfa Romeo 800 truck. Some of the trucks were converted into anti-aircraft vehicles equipped with a machine-gun of 20 mm (0.8 in) IF Scotti. The truck was produced for a commercial version after the war.[2] Both military and civilian versions were produced until 1950.
