Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Roger on the pics. Got almost 200 so far. I'm documenting everything. Weather goes to **** tomorrow thru Saturday. Might get something done then. Barn's getting better. Actually rolled the AF truck into the barn to put the new A3 seats in...man I LIKE those seats! Thank God for rafters and hoists...one handed install would be a ***** without them!Sounds like a plan. Remember to take pics.![]()
If you want it VN correct, leave the M-16 rifle mounts out. Its RARE, but has been present in one pic that I have seen, only a couple more in Jeep's in country. If you want it like it was, the M-16 is hung from the windshield arm by its handle.Need some info on the interior of the cab, please. Are there any pics out there? I'm looking to see if/where gun (M-16) mounts were installed, if they were, also one of my trucks has a chem bottle on it. Did the trucks in SEA have those? I'm going to use a current fire extinguisher, just can't leave home without it. last question: did all trucks have radios installed? if so, what were they?
Thank you for any help you can provide. i have rifle mounts and the chem warfare bottle, just not sure they are relevent. I don't have a radio and all radios are outside my budget. I might just put a piece of tape on the floor that says "simulated radio"![]()
Makes things easier... I can hang an Airsoft off the window for the display. They're fairly inexpensive and for the most part, accurate looking. I'd hate to hang a real one off there just cause of the beating it'd take.Yeah---I don't think I ever seen or noticed a gun rack----here's the photo Jeff spoke of and the way I carried mine----------
As many deuces as you have, i'd spend the money on a Motive bleeder; you won't regret it. You can try mine if you want.Plan of the day is to pull the truck into the barn/shop and fix the leaking brake cyclinder on the right front wheel. I'm still working on a fool proof bleeding system...I think I have one. The VA gave me a bunckh of O2 hose, which I ended up not needing. Add to that a pesticide pump full of Dot 5, I think I can bleed the entire truck. Just have to get out each time I switch between brake cylinders. I'll post a pic if it works.
Motive bleeder..LOL, sounds like the weather today. OK, should be motivator bleederAs many deuces as you have, i'd spend the money on a Motive bleeder; you won't regret it. You can try mine if you want.
Magazine with some C's can do. Playboy...hmm gotta sneak that one by the boss. Can do on the Ice. I've got 5 or 6 water cans as well as 7+ fuel cans. Some of them are actually dated late 60's. One each Ice in fuel can holder and the rest will go in the back. M79..that might be hard to get. I'll check to toy/airsoft/repro market and see what's out there. M79 has much more "cool" factor. Shucks, maybe one of each. Also got lots of ammo cans. Everything for .30 to 20 mm. One is a funky size, I'm guessing that's for the 40MM grenades. That'll look good under the pax seat.No chem bottle or fire bottle either. Only fire bottles I had seen was on tractors that were for POL units. Put a playboy in the glovebox with some c's. You can substitue your fuel can on the running board for a water can. Put ice in it to keep the dust cutters cold. Extra ammo is nice in a can with maybe a m79 for a driver who was a bit more resourceful.
