On the WWII Marine/Navy crash trucks. I spent most of my time in the Marines in Crash Crew. At one time I had 3 WWII Marine fire trucks here, now, I am down to 2. Ok, lets correct some of the stuff in the above post. The Marine /Navy crash truck on the 1 1/2 ton 4x4 chassie (M3-4) was called a...

Nice M170!!!! While stationed in NJ, I found one, as nice as that one. But....I already had 3 military trucks, and a set of orders. I had to pass on it (it sold for $1500, this was in 1987). The sad part is, I found out the guy who bought it had a lawn care company and was going to make it into...

The WC-55, was a Dodge 3/4 ton truck with winch (WC52), but some one came up with the idea to arm them with a 37 mm cannon. So, they mounted a 37 mm cannon in the bed. It was great for training, but in combat, it was a complete failure. Thin sheet metal of a truck is no match for a Panzer...

The GL guys here are telling me that all the small stuff (that can not sat out side to be sold) will be trucked to Columbus, Ohio. Looooong way from the coast of North Carolina. That means I will be seeing more new equipment that used to be sold going into the scrap hoppers. One of the few...

I bought that same hydro ram set several years ago because it was on sell from Harbor Freight. Now the funny part is, I have never used it but, I have loaned it out several times to friends who loved it. The best story of it being used was by a church member who's son had just rolled the family...

I am also one of the lucky ones with GL here. They destroyed my tail lights on my M109 truck while moving it for loading while I was there. A couple of weeks later I was picking up some stuff and they had some canvas that did not sell. The GL walked over to me and asked if I wanted it, to cover...
