Several members of the PSMVCC and EMVC got together to bring together a VERY early M35 (gasser) and a quad 50 trailer together to make a gun truck period correct for the Vietnam conflict.

It isn't finished but they are on their way. The guy who owns the truck also has a half track with a quad in it as well, awesome stuff. :jumpin:

The quad has 2 batteries to run a motor that turn a hyd. pump that turns and elevates the guns. The engine is there to keep the batteries charged. Simple and reliable.

Nice, love the pics. I'd want to see what an officer says when you get pulled over for looks.

"Sir, do you have any erhm...what is that?"
"Nothing officer, just a part of my collection is all."

I'd dearly love to have that quad mount, I asked my wife when it was for sale and she said no. Then again, she told me I "had" to buy the HEMTT. You can't have everything. :grin:

I think that a LEO might be somewhat reluctant to park in the usual location behind you...

Pretty rare and I'm not current on the prices, if I had to guess about $15,000 WITHOUT the guns. It was a rare sight to see 2 of them in one garage.

Complete with phony guns it probably would be worth 3 times more than any truck you'd mount them to.

Did you fall over yet?

You should have asked to put it into the bed of the Hemtt for a photo op in exchange for lifting it into place.

Thanx for the pix

Actually they paid me with pizza and :beer: and provided fun company, any excuse to drive the truck and I'm there. I even let the guy who owned the other truck do the lifting with the wired remote control.

They were thinking the HEMTT needs two of them one pointed each side making a devistating 2.5 mile wide swath of death. :twisted:
