    GMT, Time before signing in

    The GMT may be fancy and international, but a bugger to deal with for 99.9 % of us without signing in, especially with a date change to boot. What are the chances of having it changed to a US time zone? Do we need to set up a poll for majority opinion? Thanks,

    Ford 8x8 radio install

    A longshot, I know, but does anyone have pictures of any radio installations for the M656/XM757 8x8's? In service with the Pershing units in Europe, they convoyed and must have had radio communications IMHO...could be wrong, radio blackout.... I don't see any antennas, though. Thanks,

    Mystery towbar adapters

    I'm curious about these adapters, the universal ends fit the M35 (1" pin) and the M37 (3/4" pin) among other. The other end is the problem, it needs a gap opening of 1-7/8" and a pin 1-1/8" in dia. They will not fit the "medium" towbars that I have nor do they match up with the heavy 80" towbar...
