Here’s how War Wagon is set up in “the box”. Three M2 .50 Browning replicas, 1 M60 LMG replica, one M16A1 replica, four M26 “Lemon” grenade replicas, two spent M18 smoke grenades, one spent M72 LAW rocket tube, dozens of ammunition cans (.50, .308, 5.55mm, and others) and many other items...
Apologies for not posting all the back story on War Wagon (WW). My hands are protesting vehemently against all the abuse I did to them over the past two weeks. First off, showed the truck at the F.E. Warren Fort DA Russell Days. Lots of kids, adults and veterans got a good look over and I and my...
Back in my younger, less disciplined days, I learned of a trick to mess with the local bully’s car/truck. Remove valve stem cap. Insert small pebble into cap. Lightly install cap back on valve. Repeat with other wheels as necessary. Guaranteed to deflate a tire in very short order! Now I never...
The long term plan for my AF truck is to paint it strata blue with white lettering. Most of the old missile trucks were painted that way. Our step vans were also painted strata blue/white letters. There’s a missile truck on display at FE Warren’s main gate in strata blue/white. I’ll be at the...
Please help me understand this a bit more. If I decide to drive my gun truck War Wagon to Fort Collins or Greeley Colorado from Cheyenne Wyoming, what will happen? Will they try to ticket me? Maybe try to confiscate it? Any MV shows south of the Wyoming border have become off limits to me? I...
One other option which may need looking at. When you burn nasty gas it’ll gum up your spark plugs. If they’re stock, might be able to clean them up. If aftermarket, best bet may be replacing them. My lawnmower gets pissy about sour gas. Fresh gas and a new spark plug works every time.
I’m a 100% disabled wreck. I’ve built a Gun Truck, maintain 2 M35’s, an M1009, M37, and others. I’m currently refurbing a G506. The thing is, it all starts with one bolt and one wrench. 7+ years on the War Wagon and I’m still tweaking it. It takes me between 2 and 3 days to change a tire. I’m a...
Contact Boyce Equipment of Ogden Utah. Their website is boyceequipment.com. I’ve done business with them in the past and I recommend their company. All their information is on their website including phone numbers and electronic catalogue.
She’s an old one that’s for sure. Another oldie but goody is the venerable UH-1. Updated, upgraded, and rebuilt more times than are fully imagined, still flying after 63 years. And them old warhorses will be still in the air at least for another 10 years. Now if I could only find one to restore...
Well I done got one over for them know-it-all’s. Still got my military drivers license! I even still have my Hemmit refueler license! For security reasons, I can’t take a picture of them.
I’ll be showing him at the Fort DA Russell Days at FE Warren AFB, And I’ll be driving in all four CFD parades. I was contacted by the air show folks as well. If I recall correctly, the air show is on the Wednesday of CFD.
A long time time ago while still serving in the Marine Corps, we had this phenomenal task of diving the fuel tanks. On the CH-53 there are two large circular panels that provide access to the main tanks. One removes the outer cover, then the inner cover and finally verify none to very little...
Been a while since last update and I’ve been busy. Paint removal (white and red paint) by sand blasting and paint stripper. I got some citrus type paint stripper, good stuff. Very little smell and does a pretty good job cleaning up large parts. Unfortunately, I doubt I’ll be making it to any...
