Almost there, guys! One week to go. Plan on catching up with Cabell and seeing if there are any last minute things to do on the farm to get ready for the event. I plan on dropping down there Thursday only to set up the signs, but will be there all days Friday and Saturday. Sunday I have to...

I own an LMTV 4x4 that is a wreck, once I sell the gun truck I can afford to bring it back from Colorado. The few that have gotten out are rollover wrecks, fire damaged hulks, etc. They are still pretty new, and most of the good ones get rebuilt.

I changed my mind - and not for the worse. I have figured out how I can do RLW with ALL her guns, as her final incarnation was in 541 TC. I have found a source for excellent quality M60 replicas, as well as a full-blown M2HB as well. If you're gonna do a M37 gun truck, might as well go all...

x 2 on the gimpyroll t-shirts. First guy to roll a M35 at a SS rally, might as well commemorate it. Heck, I'm surprised he didn't put a picture of that in the writeup for the Supply Line article. I'm in, see you all there....

Nice save - it's not often to see a GMC deuce still in fire department livery anymore, most fire departments went to M35 series deuces a long time ago.

Thanks for the answers, guys - I think you are right. I think this truck had an angled bracket going from driver's side wall to back wall, and the ACAV mount/tank mount (whatever you call it) was mounted facing toward the rear quarter, with a M23 cradle and .50 cal on it.

And more importantly, is it the same as this mount on RLW?

Anyone know what kinda mount this is? Looks like a M23 cradle sitting on some strange curved base. Seen the curved base elsewhere, would like to know what it was originally on.

Perhaps that's why I found a cellphone in the weeds tossed out by another offroader last year. Couldn't get coverage, so, time to throw the cellphone out the door!

BTT, c'mon Karl, you have to get it done in time for the VA rally next weekend!

Hey, any updates, Dirt? We need our fix of heavy iron restoration!

Was there any gensets with the same engine as the deuce? Might be in the market for a multifuel genset in the next year, wanted to see what I would have to keep an eye out for.

That's about as clean an M880 variant as I've ever seen. Most of them I've come across have been wore out and rusted through, they just got used up after surplussed out because as civvy pickups and vans they were used heavily by woodchucks, laborers, etc., and by the time they were done with...

Sorry no updates in a couple days - I have been working on it, I have just misplaced my camera and can't take any pictures at this time. The armor has been ordered, as well as a pile of parts. I'm waiting on the UPS man for a ton of parts to restore this beast. In the meantime, I have...

Not sure if you can, the little information I gathered was by searching under the nomenclature AF/M-32A-13. Good luck in your info gathering....

That used to be the trailer on which a large engine driven (as opposed to electric motor driven) genset used to start and power jet aircraft, mostly fighters. The AF/M-32A-13 set was used for several different aircraft, including the F-106 Delta Darts, F-4 Phantoms, and F-100 Super Sabres...

Yes, aluminum is lighter and easier to work with, but it's a lot more expensive. The steel I'm getting is 1/4-inch thick, probably not good enough to stop incoming fire, but light enough for the M37 to move around and not break axles. I don't know how thick the originals were, but the armored...

They were identical, but you can't get any surplus M37s from GL anymore! Thought there may be a trailer owner out there that doesn't need it...

Does anyone have a spare tire spinner, mount and spinner plate from a M101 trailer that they are willing to part with? Need it for the gun truck....

You got it. Stevens was not the only company to make the -416.
