Man, Bubba sure got ahold of that dashboard. Lots of stupid holes all over the place.

Wow! Another one to add to the growing list of gun trucks in existence!

Does anyone have any close-up detail pics of the armor panels that were used on the early gun trucks? They measured 36x48 inches in size, had a "porthole" in the middle, and a bunch of bolt holes in pairs around the outside edge. How were the porthole and the pairs of bolt holes to be used...

The rule about Colemans is, if they have it in their catalog they are a great help. If it's in the yard, noone knows where anything is, what it is, and they don't know anything about it unless you shove it in their faces. Shawn Coleman is a great guy but he never leaves his office so he...

This is the way we do it at Steel Soldiers - even if we can't save the vehicle, we strip it down for parts to save the ones we have. THAT'S HOW WE ROLL - AND KEEP EM ROLLING!

Those D ring pockets don't look too hard to fabricate - some angle iron will do the trick, cut out the old, grind it smooth and weld in the new angle iron.

Lookin' good! Keep us posted....

According to the wonders of the internet, I found the M132 medical truck is based on the M35 chassis, so it's a deuce. If it's any different looking than the M109, I have never seen one, and pictures online are non-existent. Ditto - rare bird, especially if most of us have never heard of it...

Very nice acquisition, be great to see that get restored. Here's an idea to what you could do with it!

I don't see me anywhere. Sorry.

Sorry, if you bob trucks that's great, but I never will. You double the size of the tire, and you still neuter the truck. Might as well jack up a Bronco or pickup instead.

Corrected - the websites you posted the pics on seem to be down at the present time. I looked in Hard Ride and saw there were two trucks with Highland Raiders as a name, one M35 and one M54. I guessed wrong.

Get the aftermarket battery adapters that use 10 D cell batteries, they will give you lots of power. The "freshest" original batteries are 15 years old, so they are tired even if they are the newest ones out there and are new in the wrap.

When the Ugly Ranger rolls under it's own power, let me know and I'll update the list.

UPDATE! Since I can't edit the original post anymore, here's the updated list. Please let me know if there are any more out there... vehicle, repro or tribute, name, owner, location ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M151...

In a way you're right. It's their truck, it's not the truck's fault. However, we can still call the stupid inbred owners the full gamut of proper names in the book.

Ditto. Tonka truck-looking, makes it look cheesy, and no longer like a military truck.

And the hits just keep on comin'....

I've seen worse.

Well, I'm probably out - I have to work tomorrow and although it's in the southern PA area near the breakfast, I doubt I will be done in time to see you all. Maybe next time.
