I'll be in the area that day, so I might swing by for a bite....

I'm in. I doubt I will have another MV by then, but I'll ride along with whoever has a spare shotgun seat. Missed it last year, I have the urge to see Indiana mud and trails again!

Very cool concept, but not even close to the world's largest tactical ambulance.

The first section is FALSE. The pics were from the production of the movie bomb "STEALTH", and the pilot is actress Jessica Biel.

That topic has been covered in exactly 14,273 threads on SS. The front roller was added to help the half-track get itself out of ditches, if the vehicle "nosed-in", it could "roll out".

Dammit that's awesome. I wish my old M37 became yours, it would have it's dream come true. Love to see it at a show, that's just too cool....

Another common leak is through the radiator cap, if the overflow tube gets clogged with corrosion over the years. Mine got clogged, and running down the road coolant just started spewing out the side engine cover. The pressure built up, the overflow had nowhere to go, starting coming out the...

Is that M416 trailer a genuine M416B1, with the Mighty-Mite rims and the lifting tabs on the corners?

Lots of neat stuff in those woods. Glad you had your eyes open... Someone save some of them!

All the ones I have seen were mounted exterior. Most mount it on the cowl of the vehicle just outside the windows. A few put it on top of their convoy light poles, if they have them. Mine were stupidly mounted on the side cab vent, not sure why but it never worked anyways since it had the...

Wow, those hubs haven't had a serious deal of maintenance since the Eisenhower Administration. Looks great so far, Dirt! Keep up the good work! BTW, when this half-track is done, you plan on getting back into 10-tons?

Not really a helicopter, it's more of a gyrocopter, you pull it with an airplane and the rotors give it lift, but it can't fly by itself. Pretty weird, though.

I paid a lot more than $150 for a lot less in terms of condition. You got a great deal there any way you cut it.

Every time I find a free 8-track player, I smash it. Send it to electronics ****. They don't ever deserve to be collectible.

Looks like a good start - I say fix it up, those flatbed trailers are very useful and there is a growing number of people who restore them along with their tractors, for a combination show vehicle!

Not sure yet - if I can't it will be the first RC rally I have missed. If I do go, I'll be there from Friday to Sunday morning, just me no vehicle.

Those M1061 trailers are pretty sweet for hauling stuff guys, it's a shame they all got piled up like that, but maybe someone can save a few. They are easy to load and have a 5-ton rating, Stretch made great use of his for hauling firewood with the sides he put on, could even be a nice low-deck...

BKubu chimed in long ago in another thread, the M123 (any type) is always cool to look at. Not cool to drive or maintain. He owned a M125 cargo variant, says it would kill road signs even with his left wheel on the center line.
