    Issues with SF-97

    I purchased a M35a2 about two years before DLA contracted with GL. At that time it was by sealed bid and before they started dumping large numbers of 2.5 ton trucks. It was my first EUC and it took DLA 14 weeks to approve it. Future EUCs went quicker. Long initial waits are nothing new.

    Military 'modified' pickup

    The Irish army has done something similar with Ford F350s. Here is a modelers' website with a lot of detailed pictures. I am thinking of doing something similar with a ragged out CUCV. http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=171464&page=1

    Alaska to Alabama in Brutus

    It's not a record. When the MVPA had their Alaska Highway convoy a few years ago, some of our members as well ad others from FL and AL participated and drove all the way up there and back. All were in 2.5 and 5 tons except for one M37. The round trip was 12,000 miles total , give or take.

    Florida auction

    I was watching those along with the rest of the auction. Funny how on two of them someone would throw in a bid in the last 10 seconds and extend the time, must have thought they were on ebay. They must have went high because they were so nice and shiny.

    Rusted out M416, worth it?

    The M416 didn't have a tailgate. There was a flatbed version for gensets. could make one of those, maybe adapt some sideboards off a m105 or m101.
