RE: From the Army 1997 Weapon Systems book
Thanks Bruce
That will be so cool it is funny we are almost neigbors and I keep missing you at events. I will come down in one of my trucks perhaps the new M1031 or the M109. I thought you would enjoy the pictures so right after reading that you got...
How do you spell block heater I know if I ever move back up north my trucks will get them that or because of the lie about global warming we all will be getting colder I am gonna have to put them on south of the Mason Dixon line.
From the Army 1997 Weapon Systems book
Bruce I just found an old Army Materials book from 1997 and the M35A3 is a center piece. They used three old trucks to make two new ones and I hope you can read the text in the photo they used to describe it.
Man I can barely wait to get my hands on the one I have sitting at Johns. Nice trucks and where in Jersey are you? Have you been on a pines run with the members here?
Lee:
Right you are I had a small home built trailer full of tools that was about 3,000 pounds full and it pushed my loaded Travelall through a red light late one night on my move to Fort Eustis. I converted it to a surge brake that next week. The one I welded up a gooseneck for has been...
You could do this
I have towed this with a full size Jeep Cherokee for hundreds of miles loaded up and it tracks and pulls great. I am going to mod it with a surge brake someday and tie into the hydraulic lines of the air over system.
I have spent so much time deployed I still have a few boxes I have not opened from 2006. I guess that is what retirement is for.....
Be safe and keep your powder dry.
Now that is a restore wow! I will be flying around space A when I retire and hope to visit Italy sometime next year so I will really want to stop by and meet you and your family. I want to bring my wife too she has never been there like I have.
I am not surprized the price dropped the won here in Korea is lower than it was when I was here in 97. Pretty good deals out on the economy her right now. They have been selling scrap for some time and I hope he loggs on and checks this thread. Thanks for the information and advice.
Very nice do you come from a family that makes violins. That restor is a Stradaverious work of art. Take a look at the job being done on the 10 ton M125 thread he is following your lead. Thanks for posting the Jeep we had one like that on our farm in Illiois when I was a kid and I loved...
Don't forget that these trucks grew up in the good ole days of tetra ethel lead. That was also a lubricant in MOGAS when the fuel was authorised as an emergency run fuel. The Army put diesel only on almost all dueces long ago to keep Soldiers from putting MOGAS in them and getting them worn...
Christian said they would work on transfering the equipment in the duece on Saturday and I am hoping they document it all for me I have not been home but a few months in the last six years. To be honest I am looking forward to retirement.
