Took some pics of the 5th wheel installation and the spare tire carrier. The 5th wheel plates came from a M818 and the spare tire carrier came from a M931. The adapter plates for the spare tire carrier came off a Big Foot M931A1. Not all a perfect fit but with sharp drill bits and a bunch of...

Eastern makes a brush truck:

My search is finally over. No, I didn’t find a set of M52 spacers. Hendersonj found a set of M818 spacers. They weren’t a direct fit. The rails on the M52 have rivets sticking up. The M818 does not. So it took many, many, many, many..... trips back and forth from the truck to the drill press...

Two M52 reactors were converted to gun trucks in the Vietnam War. That’s all I know about anyway. Both used M35 beds. They didn’t keep the spare tire carriers. Not sure if they used the M35 carriers. For the most part, as near as I can tell, the spare tires were carried in the bed and integrated...

With your truck being a 5 ton, your imagination is the only limit. I’ve seen pictures of gun trucks in the desert. A tribute built around Iron Horse’s legacy would be the stuff. Can you put a deuce bed on the back? I was going to go that route with my M52A2. It was more than I could handle so I...

Looking good!

Cheyenne Christmas parade Toys For Tots. For the past 7 or 8 years I’ve lead the parade with my truck. We put the word out to the community that if they wanted to, they could bring toys and we’d pick them up as we travel along the parade route. This your we filled 7 big boxes of toys and a...

I’ve got a pretty good list. I have a Gun Truck I’ve built, the War Wagon. It’s built on a ‘70 M35A2 w/w. Right now my armament is three M2 replica .50 cal MG’s, a M60 replica, a M16 replica, some grenade replicas, a LAW rocket tube and a bun load of ammo cans. I’m planning for a forth M2 which...

I was reading a book, “Vietnam, A Complete Photographic History” by Michael Maclear. Photographs edited by Hal Buell. On page 12, I found a picture of a pre-Vietnam War Gun Jeep. The picture is dated January 1947 and has the caption: “With a building burning in the background, French Soldiers...

Looks like a ladder off a M109 or equivalent 5 ton.

This may sound silly but it’s not meant as anything derogatory. Do you have a front drive shaft still installed? Stranger things have been stolen...

Thank you. She isn’t done yet. Hopefully this winter I’ll be able to get the inner layer of armor (PSP) installed.

If you need any help, let me know.

I was stationed there in the ‘80’s. Beautiful state and nice people!

I don’t have any pictures, however, if memory serves me correctly, there were improvised gun trucks used in (no particular order) Beirut Lebanon, Panama and Desert Shield/Desert Storm. They were also used by various “teams” that were running around various places where the local population...

Just over the border into Wyoming.

Also, coming up to Wyoming of I25 is a placed called Terry Bison Ranch. There is a cab and chassis towards the south end of the property. I know nothing about it except you can see it from the Interstate. There may be a second vehicle just as you enter the property. Terry Bison Ranch is set up...

I’m having a brain fart once again... there’s a gentleman in CO, Ft Collins maybe who converted his 109 into a gun truck by removing the shop section and installing a A3 bed he bought from me. If you check the gun truck section, you should find his name and contact info. He had the shop section...
