Time for a covert extraction! Unfortunately, Ryan, most of the neat stuff sitting in the fields at these military bases are hard targets, or forgotten relics that noone, not even DRMO cares about. If the unlikely event comes around when they decide to clean up an area of a base, then they will...

Spray it green and noone will know it wasn't stock. $10 new? I notice it's made in USA, from the sticker on the side. How do they make money selling that cheap?

I don't think the lunette eye is supposed to rotate. I know some of the pintle hooks rotate though.

Wow - lots of good stuff in there, some 900 series wreckers and cargos, a couple HMMWVs for the newer MV drivers to restore, and TONS of parts. Wrong side of the continent for me, though.

Where'd you find this pic? BTW - that haul is a Soviet-made MT-LB amphibious armored personnel carrier.

RE: A still pic Usually, the folks who run the railtrucks are working for the railroad, and are in contact with the station, and KNOW when to be on the rails, and when to be off.

Okay, sorry - have to do it! nopics

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Here Great save!

Guess you won't have to worry about rust on that beast! Definitely one for off-roading and beating around without feeling too bad about it. Becuase you will have a helluva time removing that bedliner stuff...

He he. Amen, brother! There's a Scorpion at the VPW in Culpeper, VA where I used to live - the people at the VPW haven't taken care of it, and it looks like garbage. Rust, spray paint from vandals, beer cans shoved down the barrel, etc. The rust was starting to get bad last time I took a...

Unfortunately, no, not easily. You'd have to trace the unit records back to inception, and then from the previous unit, etc.

United State Marine Corps (obvious) The 372231 is the serial number of the truck.

Pretty neat! Took a lot of work to make that, well, work!

Way to work the big iron! Bet those truckers were impressed!

RE: Re: RE: Don Another suggestion - I have a 32-foot flagpole. Well, okay it's not a flagpole, but it is a LONG antenna set that can double as a flagpole. I think it would be nice if we fly Old Glory at our campsite next time around. Wouldn't be too much trouble to set it up, it's in 4-foot...

Who makes the engine? Check with the manufacturer, they might be able to steer you in the right direction...

Ditto on this end, Chris - now I NEED to get a deuce before next Haspin! But a beater, of course.... I haven't seen gilbert on the site the past few days. I think he's in a heap of trouble from his old man, and he's busy bolting on the new parts, too busy to login to SS. :)

Those are heavily modified P2V Neptunes, served in Vietnam in "unofficial" clandestine roles. The only official gunships were AC-47s, AC-119s, and AC-130s, but there were a number of other aircraft that were modified with guns and heavier weapons, like the P2V and the A-26 Invader. Generally...

That's not unique, Adam. My -725 has a rear compartment heater that was run on gasoline, on a branch line from the fuel tank, directly below it. The idea of resurrecting a 40-yr-old gas burning heater sounds a little dangerous to me, so it will be retired and replaced by a engine...

Goof-Off?
