Any updates? Love to see how it's coming along, and if it's still coming to Aberdeen....

Good? Looks AWESOME! The tires make that truck!

Looks like a T-38 Talon is flying interference for the big birds. In a way, it's amazing to see it. In a way, you have to fume over the fact that we no longer have a manned space program, and this is kinda the government's way of rubbing it in our faces. Political rant off. I saw...

Flexoman.

Looks great, now get a quad 50 in the back of that beast!

Like I tell some folks, .pdf manuals are great, but you can't unfold one underneath the frame while you're changing a seal, or out on the trail. Not to mention, by the time you download them and print them out on your own printer, you've burned through the same $$$ in paper and toner you...

I have to say it. nopics

This space is for sale. BURMA SHAVE.

Is anyone here on SS good with CAD drawings? Perhaps it might do those of us here who might build a deuce or 5-ton gun truck down the road with a CAD drawing that could be programmed into a CNC machine and cut out by way of plasma torch on a water bed machine.

I totally embarrassed my daughter a couple years back when I dropped her off at school in the deuce. Most of her friends, though, were staring agape at the sight of an army truck in the school parking lot, like "WOW, IS THAT YOUR DAD'S TRUCK?!?"

In the Korean War, from what I understand, paint markings or stencils weren't commonplace on jerry cans. Most cans had the "G" or "W" imprinted on the side, for GAS or WATER, and that was the standard way to differentiate. There weren't a lot of diesels in the military in the early 1950s, so...

I have seen nice ones that worked go for $200 and even less. I'd offer $75, and see what happens. Wear your helmet because you might have pots and pans headed your way. They are neat, lots of hams are into the WWII stuff. The tubes are easy to find, if you get it and need help, I can point...

I win.

Sledgehammer, and if that doesn't do it, blowtorch and heat it up. Then try the sledgehammer again. Grease, heat and pounding the **** out of it always seems to work on many of our problems.

Dude, that's awesome that you're putting it back together now! I was wondering what had happened to your find since it had been a couple years since I last heard about it...

That would be a shame to bob something that is pretty rare in civilian's hands as of yet. If you restore it the resale value will be double what it will be if you cut it up. My two cents...

Man, Bubba sure got ahold of that dashboard. Lots of stupid holes all over the place.

Wow! Another one to add to the growing list of gun trucks in existence!

Does anyone have any close-up detail pics of the armor panels that were used on the early gun trucks? They measured 36x48 inches in size, had a "porthole" in the middle, and a bunch of bolt holes in pairs around the outside edge. How were the porthole and the pairs of bolt holes to be used...

The rule about Colemans is, if they have it in their catalog they are a great help. If it's in the yard, noone knows where anything is, what it is, and they don't know anything about it unless you shove it in their faces. Shawn Coleman is a great guy but he never leaves his office so he...
