Exclamation trip to Salvage yard / hmmwv parts supply...
Hi Guys,
I thought I would show you some "amazing" pics of former US military trucks waiting to be scrapped....parted out....
some were completely INVISABLE....sitting and rusting away for decades....
their website: www.reomie.com

sorry for the quality..... they were made with my phone camera...

This scene has been repeated countless times over the years: Southeastern Equipment, Levy Auto Parts, L&M Sales, fields full of trucks bought for rebuild programs that did not materialize, left to rot, then cut up.

I think the Steel Soldiers website/organization has done more to help rescue and find homes for these rusted M-series warriors than any other effort to date. Thanks Chris and all others that make this possible.

Thats shameful, too bad the freight would tear you a new one. The only hope would be someone over on the other side of the pond.
