RE: trucks Wish there'd be some way to let ALL the yards know that we got a great group of guys here that would like first crack at the stuff before they crush it! That's 25 more M37's Robi won't get on his register on G741 site, and probably that ONE PART I'm gonna need to finish my project!

scared me! Thought maybe those were on my truck and I never noticed!

Thanks for the nice comments It's a real pleasure dealing with people on this site. M1075-about the pics--we were both slightly distracted, and I had another appointment as soon as Keith left. Here are some of the truck as it appeared in the ad:

NAH, not a towbar What HEADWIZARD needs it to jump right to the head of the line and get a 10-ton tractor and low-boy so both the shorty and regular deuces can arrive at the same time. That way, he doesn't have to pick a favorite to tow with. Won't get there fast, but he'll get there.

Wreckerman, I want a job like yours. Just tool around from base to base, chatting with the guys and finding wild critters in the woods. Our Museum group lost a 10 ton MANN eight wheeler to the hard target range. Thought it was being held for us until I heard the base fire chief talking about a...

Jason, Are you going to enter as a factory fresh or museum-quality restoration? If not, then no one should be looking that close at your data plates or care too much. The only time we kick people out of shows where I come from is when, uh, um, . . . oh, yeah: stupidly excessive alcohol...

Hey, cb- How's come you only SUSPECT there's something wrong? You been around enough. You should know for sure.

CUCVFAN- Thank you very much for the link!!!!!!. I just spent about a half hour there checking the photos and nformation. Are you one of the guys he mentions about the dad having a crease in the skull from something slipping? I had a couple RENWAL models, but their 3/8=1" scale was weird to...

Dave, That is one very nice tractor! I LOVE IT! More tractors than we can drive. Talk to Dave P about fixing up the lowboy trailer he's got (needs a lot of work), put the water purification camper on that behind your new tractor and, voila, more fun than a (insert favorite Cable Guy phrase...

Hey, BFR- Thanks for bringing that note from the other thread. Where's the preserved one on display? Doesn't look quite as huge without someone standing next to it. CUCVFAN- I for one would like to see pics of the model! I remember a model being available, but it was out of my price range...

Wonder how many magazines that "Wing Gunner" dropped trying to reload while in flight?

Couldn't find tigerstripe but I did find these among the four shoeboxes of MV pics Luckily, most of the prints are in their packets from the photo shop, so it wasn't like sorting through a lot of loose ones.

Yep, would be nice If you can do a nice tiger stripe, you'll definitely have a unique truck. It will draw a lot of attention, and I think it will get a lot of positive comments from veterans, even if it's not "correct". I'll go check my archives now. See if I can find a pic of anything in...

Elwenil- When the first articles about the ACU came out in ARMY TIMES, I wrote them a nice letter about how noisy velcro is vs either zippers or buttons and about how a COMBAT UNIFORM doesn't need hooah patches (jump wings, etc), but apparently someone in the great testing lab said it would...

GONE!!!! Someone else thought they were a steal, too!

What is ACU? ACU is the acronym for Army Combat Uniform or Advanced Combat Uniform, to make it different from BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) or DCUs (Desert Combat Uniform). It's the Army's answer to the Marine's new digital camoflage, so that now each branch of the service has a different...

Find a picture of Ted Nugent's Zebra stripe jeep and change the colors? Careful, though, if it's not a stock paint pattern, it might get on the ugly truck list.

Lane, it's in the mail, priority, should be there by Wednesday.

Lane, PM or e-mail me the address , I'll send it out today.

Hey, Rich, nice find. About your battery drain: first guess is light switch is on, or your battery switch isn't working well. If you get big sparks when you reconnect the batteries after pulling the cables off, then something is stuck on. Does the M51 have 2 switches-one for the battery and...
