    Here's my M969 This is the one I bought. The plywood was a last minute effort to pass inspection in Maryland. It was at the inspectors and he was going to fail it but I asked him if I could make on the spot corrections if it would pass he said OK so I took out a sheet of plywood and my...

    Questions on M796 Bolster Trailer

    I love my bolster trailer it hauls logs like get out and never even was worked hard with a big load of oak. I got mine for less than $400 and it looks good with the super singles. The Army used them in Engineer units and they were used to haul pipe and sometimes wooden telephone poles. It...

    m52 tractor questions.

    Overall is the Mack the king or is the old gasser capable of better pulling? I know the milage is better with a diesel but just wondering as I am waiting to work on the gasser M52 I have sitting and home and want to measure it ( I know unfairly) against the M818 I will be getting.

    M818 Pics

    Wow that is so cool that that truck is now a Steel Soldier truck I watched it on GL and was amazed at the condition of the truck. What trailer are you looking for because that tractor was born to haul an M 127 and strong enough to haul an M 871 if you can find one. Thanks for posting the...

    Thank God we can still get MV's for a fraction of the origial and even current value. I think GL is a good thing and we should not hit too hard against them as they are the US Government contractor that gets the DRMO items to us. Sure I would not mind going back to the old DRMO sales but then...

    Bus Down, Deuce Up

    Adam: Great story and pictures I am looking forward to hearing the recovery of your van trailer and the pick up of the dolly convertor. You must be facing some big fuel bills moving all that steel over the highway. I hope you are going to find the details of the offset soon that is really...

    RE: Smart advertising This is great and I would not mind seeing some others here too take a look at AR15.com and they have buttons to take you to the sales web page.

    Military Trimble GPS Trimpack Question.

    The normal antennae we used in Iraq was a small magnetic mount disc that was put on a metal plate that was a part of the upgrade in package. This was normally mounted above the passenger seat. If you have a picture of the one you have I can give you a better idea and when I get back to my CD's...

    Lavinia Trucks! WooHoo!

    That Switzer Turbo does look strange on that I bet it was an AMSA shop that planted that on there. There is a monster HMMWV running around Maryland that is mounted on a 5 ton chassis. Nice looking trucks and the empty spot of the M275 will not remain oil free for long. Are those redneck...

    Pictures from VietNam, 1968.

    Amen: I know it is great to see these pictures and read the accounts, I still regret not taking many pictures during my enlisted days in the 70's and in the first Gulf War. I saw so many things people would not believe without a picture. I try to take as many as I can now since I have no...

    Doh!

    I guess the 14 hour time difference allow me to stay alive because at my age I might have gone into cardiac arrest if I lost the capability to get on the Steel Soldiers site. It is bad enough that the Mess tent is blocked here I had to go get a new laptop so I could wifi the chat room.
