Description
in 1979, SHIELD of America needed a few stepvans for their transportation fleet since they were moving their headquarters to Ontario, Oregon. So they called up LMC and asked if they could borrow a few stepvans for their fleet, which LMC had agreed to -- and thus, the SHIELD Vienna was made.

The 1988 SHIELD Vienna was an improved version of the Vienna, and was given a better facelift due to criticism of the original facelift "having a wide fascia", which was needed to cool the Diesel I6, so Vienna swapped the motor to a diesel I4 which still performed as good as the I6, albeit with a significant power increase due to the lighter motor, which made this stepvan a bit more unstable when at higher speeds, which caused quite a bit of accidents in it's run.

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!
Laffey: the OG LMC stepvan
Beaver: the P30 -- which this was built upon
Lumitic: extra bits
