RE: Re: RE: Honest John David, how many Honest John rocket systems were fielded? I have a lady friend whose father was in a HJ battery back in the 1960s, it'd be neat to find a pic of him on one of these beasts somewhere out there in internet-land.

:ditto: Don't cut up perfectly good OD iron. Ever. If the truck was a parts truck from the get-go, sure then cut it up. Looks like you have a solid work truck there, some dents and dings but a good truck for the farm or off-road. We save trucks here. Nothing else matters. If the wifey...

Military radio junkies would be interested in any of that stuff, if you list on eBay. I have seen the distribution boxes bring about $30 to $40 a piece. That rack is worth about $50 to $100 to the right person, and the speakers are $5 to $10 each, since they can't be used with anything we can...

That's a pretty strange looking vehicle, that DAK is. When was that issued to Dutch troops?

Yeah, I had a couple loose six-packs in the back, and forgot about them and went wheeling. Needless to say, about 6 out of the 12 bottles ejected from the cardboard containers and spilt some premium beer all over the rear bed, and some of my camping gear smelled like suds. Oh well, next time I...

That's an interesting dump body and hard top - what exactly are those? Got some close-up pics?

No comment, Opie! No comment! I managed to take a small video of going up I-81, just south of Harrisburg, PA, on the way to Rausch Creek. The battery died shortly after. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UATN-ojnBvU

Without a doubt, if it's cheap SAVE IT. Lord knows too many of these beasts are going to the scrappers, it would be a shame to have a rare 530 class fire truck get junked....

I notice a lot of them are painted tan. Perhaps Gulf War 2 bringbacks, that the military doesn't want anymore? Using their reasoning, David, it may cost more to ship them over to Korea than it's worth. Cheaper to ship ones in storage on the West Coast or on one of the Pacific Rim bases of...

I agree that it is probably some large surplus truck dealer, or an exporter possibly. I seriously doubt it is a shill bidder representing GL for the sole purpose of bidding up the lots. Not only is it highly illegal, but no doubt a lot of folks are keeping an eye on 8500, which would make any...

Anyone know where I can get the long rubber bungee cord material that goes through the bottom of the GMA cover to strap it down? I have a broken one I need to replace. Looks like it is a solid cord of 3/8" black rubber...

Wish more had shown up, and the park would've been great with a couple smaller vehicles as well. Hope Dave and Rob can post some of their pics soon, they were really good action shots...

I wondered what those things were. Anyone have a good closeup shot of the lights in question, from the rear?

I knew there was a reason I say a prayer before every ride in a military truck! Guess the big guy was looking out for me that day. When hooking up the trailers, the pintle on Rusty was very, um, rusty! I had to hammer open the safety latch, then hammer open the pintle mouth. I then told...

Looks pretty cool, Nick! I remember this trailer from Gilbert, and it was a good starter for the purpose you had in mind. Now, you have to paint the mule and the trailer tan to match your M35!

Had a great time there! Lots of fun, the looks we got from the Jeep drivers there were priceless - from "wow you guys are cool" to "we hate you cause you have more fun with $3000 trucks than we have with $30K jeeps". I think we made a good impression on the civvy drivers there, made some...

Was going to post these last week, but got caught up in the Rausch Creek trip, and had to wait for more time. Me and Rob went to Chambersburg on Thursday, to pick up two more deuces and two M332 trailers from the GL site there. I must've got a lot number confused, because all the lots I...

Somebody put a "Dewalt" label on the door of that wrecker. It would match the paint job!

Holy crap! Strip apart a perfectly good M36 for PARTS? Are you MAD? Oh, no, wait....I am...anyways, someone close by BUY THIS!

RE: M59 update Hey, it's well worth $1000 OBO. Looks a little better than just a "parts rig", but I like bringing green iron back from the dead. Someone pounce on this before it gets torched, like the trencher did!
