I don't see this is any different than bobbing a duece. Not my cup of tea but it belongs to him. Do as he wants with it.

A replica is a copy of an actual truck that existed at one time. A tribute is just a fictional truck that cudda been. I can't speak for everyone, but most of the old guntruckers would rather see a replica but we appreciate the efforts of anyone that takes the time and effort, not to mention the...

Thank you for your kind words. As far as putting ourselves in harms way, we were just young and dumb 19-20-21 year olds that didn't know any better. We went over feeling invincible like nothing could hurt us. If anything bad happened it would be some other guy. Unfortunately, sometimes you're...

Jollyroger,you will not be stepping on any toes by building a guntruck, either replica or tribute. Costs for either will be about the same depending mainly on the weapons used. For a replica, just pick a period in time, do your research and make an honest effort to do it right. Every truck...

Hey Garandfan, nice truck. Love the yellow nose on the hood, but that's supposed to mean 8th Group in Viet Nam. The bumper markings don't match that. Not nitpicking, just saying mayyybee somethings not right.

Hey MD, great choice of names. One thing though, it was in the 64th TC when it was built, same platoon as Highland Raiders. Thus the name. Would love to see 64th on the bumper. I only remember it with one m-60, was greatly upgraded after I left. Unfortuately, I don't have single pic or remember...

Nice truck. See you at Carlisle in Aug.

Nice to see a member from my part of the world. I'm a few miles east of you in a little wide spot in the road of Ringwood. Maybe you know where it is. Welcome aboard.

Diver, you're doing a heck of a good job. Richard Cornell[thumbzup]

Hey Jeff, that tire shop deal wasn't one of my favorite memories. At least we had locals repair the flats, all we had to do was swap them on the trucks. I got my tail chewed out by Gary Best (KIA) the driver of the Minny at the time because I didn't know I had two guntrucks to tend to, and left...

Hey Driver, you posted pics of the tire repair. My first job when I got to the 64th in July, 69 was changing flats at night for the 3rd platoon. First thing I was told was take care of the guntrucks first. The 3rd Plt had the Highland Animals and Mighty Minny. In case of an alert at night, I was...

I totally agree with making a truck as authentic as possible, but these trucks were constantly changing and being updated. I remember how the Highland Animals and Mighty Minny were during my time on them but I know they were different before and after I served on them. So a replica may be...
