M39-series gas (and diesel A1) still army truckin' in the late-80's early-90's

[msgjd]

A couple of my guys in '88 or '89 .. The M52 is one of the several gassers the BN still fielded .. It had also been fielding A1's, A2's, and M809-series simultaneously with the gassers since the 1970's Made things interesting at fueling time for a few of the "new guys" over the years

The M49A2C had a White multifuel, it was a 1974 and a very good truck .. We also fielded a 1962 M49C Reo gasser but by 1988 it went out very sparingly .. All of the gasser 5-tons were late-1950's IH's that had been "tweaked" by the shop .. Yes, those are a few tank tracks, the rest of them hadn't come thru yet to tear up the place like they usually did



The M51A1 (Mack power) below was still building Army things in the 1990's

Having an M54A1 make this dear to my heart.

Bought at a DRMO bid in Alameda some 25 years ago.

Was in Desert Shield/Storm, too.
