It would be cool if you could manage to get some pictures of Atomic Annie.:mrgreen:8-)8-)

That will be the day.:naner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKdcjJoXeEY

Still flagging the Steel Soldiers site as of 10 Jan. Oddly enough, this is the only site I get that reaction from Kaspersky when I attempt to read the content.

Looks like a keeper. As far as I know, all the tailgates on the M880s I remember seeing back in the day (as they say) had "Dodge" stamped in them. The one I have now has a "Dodge" logo and it is so far as I know the original tailgate that came with the truck when it entered Army service. You may...

Here are a couple of more pictures.

I took a few shots of the muster parade. Not a bad turn out at all except there were no CUCVs of any kind in the parade and I considered that unusual.

Beat me to it. :mrgreen::driver:

Nice score for an M880! :-D You even have a KPH/MPH speedo which must be super rare as I've never seen one in any M880 I drove; the one I have now certainly doesn't have one. (It has just the standard MPH speedometer that was used in CONUS) Another thing I noticed was that you don't have the...

Well, so long as the radio doesn't work I suppose we could call your vehicle an honorary M880. :mrgreen: It's a good thing you decided to keep the power steering in your civilian W200 as the real M880s didn't come with it and they were a bear to drive. Mine was retrofitted with power steering...

I'll bet if you're tall your head would pop above the armor on that jeep (M151A1). I wonder how much that armor affects the handling of that MUTT and how slow it makes it? I don't imagine you'd want to turn very quickly with that rig.

Sorry for the duplicate post guys. I was trying to modify the picture location. I can't find a button to delete the extra post so mods delete as appropriate.

This M37 looks like it has a RATT shelter on it. Is this correct? I've seen such shelters on M880 and M1008s, but not M37s. To be fair though, I served in the 1970s through the 1990s and except for Panama I didn't serve overseas where M37s were a common sight. Great pics from FT Hood by the...

I believe the white material you've uncovered is bondo - but you probably have figured that out by now. It looks like the last person who worked on that truck troweled it on pretty thick. It's not impossible to fix so long as you have some metal working skill.

Great looking truck! I don't know of anyone else who has tried to recreate an M880 but it looks as if you succeeded.

Not bad. New water pump? I remember using one of these ambulances at a rifle range at FT McCoy back in the 70s or very early 80s as an aid post in case some snuffy hurt himself. I forgot and left the rear compartment lights on however throughout the long day I was set up and, as you can...

The M880s I knew and loved in the Army were definitely not capable of traveling at 90 mph. I would be willing to concede that you were [probably] traveling at 90 kph on the Autobahn, but you'd get passed by a lot of Germans at that speed. As the original configuration of the M880 in Army service...

Nice paint job, OP. :D I don't get the point of adding a visor, but it doesn't harm the basic outline of the truck so to each his own. Do you have locking hubs on the front of your M880 like the Chevys do? The reason I ask is there appears to be a cap or something in the center of your wheel...

I will have to make a note of your place then and if it is open next year try to visit as I make regular visits to the Fox Cities. I lived with my parents (since deceased) on Woodlark Rd. It is in a little plat along Highway 96 on the way to Little Chute. I left for military service in 1980...

Very nice. I can't help you with the battery question, but I am curious to know where this military museum is located. Is it is Oshkosh? If so then it must be new as I don't remember hearing of such a place when I lived in Appleton in the 1970s.
