Here is a project I am working on. I have painted and started cleaning up this 1958 machine shop truck. The star locations and size have been identified thru sanding and revealing the original placements. We never knew they were there before this. What do you think? I also put one on the hood. I...

That's cool!

​Neat. That is a little 4 stroker. Honda maybe?

You've done all the work. The book is very good by the way. I have copied the pics you posted to add to the bikes "provenance". I had it at Carlisle last week and the story just blows people away especially with the pics to back it up!

Thanks again. I an going to repair it to military specs. I have gotten the book you mentioned which had the last picture you posted (in front of the HUMVEE). WHere did you find the other pictures?

Thanks again. Here are some more pics of it as you requested. I added the dark stenciling. The only markings on it were on the top of the light.

Wow, Wow! You have truly made my day! I love the little bike. I have had many offers and kids drooling over it. Now I can back up what I have known to be true. Such a cool piece. I really appreciate the input! I think that is my bike in the pic by the way! I have just ordered the book.

It obviously is a mil spec machine with the IR headlight and blacked out scheme. It is based upon a JR80 Suzuki. A very fast 5 speed mini...

Not really sure what any of this means.... or why it has re surfaced. I have vowed to follow the rules. Love the site!

I sold mine to a nearby private airport. They were ecstatic. The features far outweighed any currently available de-icing unit. The cheapest trailer mounted de-icing unit is around $17000 and it has no boom. I think I sold mine for around $6500. Wish I still had it though. Lots of fun. It was...

I had mine in the classified. It is sold now though.

I know this is an old post at this time but I thought I would fill in some missing info here for anyone in the future who might have this question. I had one of these trucks so am familiar with it's components. It came with a Dana differential that does have a two speed option. As spec'd by the...
