I couldn't find a thread on this, but if there is one, please point me at it and I apologize in advance. Local halftrack for sale. Looks like an M3 in the pictures. No rear armor, no cab, engine stuck, big crane on the back of it. It has the hood, fenders running boards I'm still trying to...

One of them ends up hiding between the grey steel soldiers banner. When I move down to 75% magnification, I can see them both.

Great looking trucks

Sandbags is what we always did with the gas genrators when I was on active duty. The problem with the sandbags. other than being a PITA, is that they would tend to make the generators overheat. We had some generators with walls of sandbags built all the way around, about one foot gap between...

Like the title, thought it was about some new movie. I try to start mine weekly, and drive it at least once per month. You can probably go a little longer on each, but at some time, batteries will go bad, fuel will go bad, tires will go out of round, mice will eat wires, etc. My guess...

The things you learn on this site. I had no idea that typing g o o g l e , with spaces between each letter would work, but it does. Not sure why you would want to include all the spaces, but to each his own.

Like the paint job -- looks like period camo for the mid 70's. I remember back in 78 or so we had to have all of our vehickles in my unit in Germany repainted to the new camo scheme. I remember going to Heilbron to pick up new 887 contact trucks. Drove them back on the Autobahn at 90 mph...

If you are looking at the semi-auto version of any of these, then legally they are considered a rifle.

Welcome -- great truck, keep us posted as you get it running.

Wait, you mean our trucks have practical uses?

I picked up a few similar Crown Vic center consoles at the last police auction. They went for next to nothing. Might use them, or some of the pieces (arm rest, computer table, etc). Still looking for good ideas. I like the 20mm ammo can, and have one laying around in the garage, but not sold...

I couldn't find a thread specifically on this topic, so thought I'd start one. If there is another, please point me towards it. I have a second driver's seat I will be replacing the passenger side bench seat with. This will leave me with room to put in a center console. I found a few...

Don't forget to remove the wheel chock (speaking as the owner of a bent pioneer tool rack that the chock was chained to)

Looks like a dataplate in the photo. Does the original have more detail?

Cool project

Not driving so much, but always carry a spare 5 gal can of fuel. You can't trust the gauge

A couple of pictures -- not cleaned up from sitting for years.

Before you come to a full stop, be sure your front wheels are pointing the way you want to go when you start up. Armstrong steering is not the best when you are not moving.

Let me go see how "buried" it is behind other stuff

Around 15 years ago, the local Navy Reserve Armory closed, and they took a lot of stuff out to the dumpster. I got there after they had cleared out their damage control room, and got a number of interesting bits of rigging, a brand new two man crosscut saw, and a hundred pounds of brass valves...
