    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2015 - Decemeber VOTE HERE

    Our halftrack project has been a work in process for 10 years with on only a handful of details remaining to be completed. What started out as a worn out stripped chassis has slowly come together by acquiring all the various pieces parts. Basically, this was the only way we could ever afford...

    Haltrack and MRAP

    Matt, I actually had the halftrack out for a spin this afternoon, it does ride rough especially when empty. It smooth's out when loaded up with riders. The noise from the floor plates, ammo locker shelves and lids is the most noticeable thing, everything is tight, but they really rattle. I was...

    1952 GMC M211 in Sylva, North Carolina

    Most likely not the original speedo, the GMC M-series vehicles used AC (AC Spark plug) gauges not SW (Stewart Warner).

    Continental Divide

    My two daughters and myself use to go "Army truck camping" in our M35, usually up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I had installed two sets of seat belts for the passenger bench seat. Since they were small, they had plenty of room. Those were great times and now as married women they still talk...

    SC - Wigington Salvage

    Mr. Wiginton is a great old fella. Visited with him about 10 or 12 years ago when he had NOS complete windshield assemblies for M211 trucks. If I remember they were $150 and still in the boxes, I got the last one. When asking him about other parts, he drove me to various buildings and directed...

    Rear lug nut removal question.

    Any chance the entire hub assembly could have been reversed? Maybe a RH hub ended up on the drivers side, look for the L & R on the square ends of the bud thimble thingy's. .

    M916 wheels on M813

    Actually, I never saw the donor vehicle. Was told they came off of a M916 being used by a lumber company.

    M916 wheels on M813

    Hello All, We just brought home a set of wheels (2 pc. bolt together combat style) and tires (1400 x 20s) off of a M916. My question is if the wheel offset on the M916 is the same as those used on the supper single wheels found on the M813. Currently we are running 1400 x 20s mounted on Hemitt...

    M4A1 1/2 Track

    The passenger step with the square tread is unusual, I have only seen it on the side step and never on the inside floor. I have one on the shelf as an extra for our M2A1, it has a Diamond-T manufacture label on the back side. Aluminum flooring was used for the early halftrack flooring and steel...

    Hand throttle idle problem with NHC-250. RPM's rise after a minute or two.

    If I start our M813 while cold and set the hand throttle to a higher RPM to warm up the engine it will do the same thing. Never had the need to use the hand throttle after the engine is warm to see if the same occurs.

    Haltrack and MRAP

    We had the opportunity to display our halftrack today along side a current USMC MRAP ATV at a Wounded Warrior event. I doubt the old and new have been side by side much. Interesting to compare 70 yrs worth of technical advancement.

    2014 Va Rally at Graves Mountain Aug 29-Sept 1, 2014 (aka, Labor Day Weekend).

    Sadly, I will not be there this year. I think this is the first one I'll miss since Maddawg's first VA rally back in 2008. That was a fun weekend!
