Thanks for the picture! So, an original USAF truck that ended up with the Army. It is not unusual for the services to pass vehicles to each other as needed. There should be no problem with the painted on "plate" as it is not a replica of any state plate, not is it deceptively similar. It is...

Excellent! Very interesting non-stock lighting panel! Cheers

Thanks. And yes, please! I have a file of unusual markings and such, as they are seldom well documented. This includes pictures of misspelled stencils, like the one on my M109 that says "Drain air tanks dayly" Cheers

Thanks! I like your 1028, first saw it when you posted in January. What does the bottom line of your painted-on license plate say? I had a similar style of marking on one of my M1009s, but rather than paint it was done with vinyl letters on a rectangle of reflective tape. It was a range...

After 8 years with me the original tan paint on my M1028A2 had faded and become chalky, and I'm not a tan fan anyway, so I repainted it in 383 camo. It was always my intention to repaint, and I had finally gotten around to adding a passenger side fuel tank. The body work for the fuel filler...

Welcome back! The XM708 is a rare beast, it would be splendid to see it done up. Cheers

I've seen some that look very professionally done (my M813 is a good example) and some that look like they were stuck on with chewed bubblegum in holes poked through by Godzilla's flaming claw. And lots in between (my M416). :) My M715s all have them in the bed, but they look like they were...

This? Recessed tie-down. They were a weld-in add on for trucks and trailers. In one of my M416s Cheers

I'm sure there is some form of ID for them, I don't know it offhand, but I'll take a dig in my files. ;) Cheers

I don't believe they ever had an M number assigned, as they were non-tactical support equipment. Cheers

Excellent! Cheers

Guyfang, I have a PDF of 42-0209 dated 29 Oct 1976, is that the one you need? 273 pages 16.8mb file. Cheers

Good to see her "Up" again, good show! Cheers

I'm afraid I'm a last minute back-out as well; I am my uncle's guardian and he is headed to hospital in Corpus right now, so I'll shortly be heading there instead. I'm bummed because I was looking forward to seeing the folks I've met, and meeting the folks I haven't. Y'all have a ball! Cheers

Unknown if this is the right The Hulk, but here is a picture of one from my files - Cheers

I like that soft top on the back too. Cheers

Lovely! Nice Humvee too. ;) Cheers

Using the same reference points as in your pictures, both my M1009s measure 2.75" from the grill on top and 2.5" at the the bottom. My M1028 brush guard is tilted back a little bit, it measures 2.25" on top and 2.5" at the bottom. You'd have to be looking with a critical eye to notice the...

Nice! Looking forward to seeing this one come back together. [thumbzup] Cheers

I do indeed! I've often found that those with a negative opinion are considerably more willing to express it than the positive ones. As my father used to say "Everyone has a belly button too, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world needs or wants to see it". Cheers
