    Truck and trailer are loaded and ready to go. Getting the last tidbits of history to display from around the house to bring. The portable bit of South Vietnam 1969 will be arriving around noon tomorrow, hope everyone can swing by and take a look. I love doing living history. Someday when I...

    MadDawg's M37 gun truck project

    Another box showed up today. About 6 feet long and weighed 65 lbs. Gee, I wonder what it is? Turns out that being on the naughty list ain't that bad. I'll have to keep banging Mrs. Claus under the table to get these presents, I tell you what. Actually, it was built by Bismarck Guns, it was...

    Local Pick a Part find

    It is a Dodge M-37, used from 1951 or so, built until 1968, and used until the late 1970s. They are very popular here. BUY IT!

    Say TTFN to the M60!

    There's a couple Steel Soldiers here with tractors and commercial tags. Perhaps they can move for less than $25K? Note on the Vietnam moving wall and the M60 series tanks: While the M60 tank was in service at the time of Vietnam, it never served there. All the heavy tanks in Nam were M48...

    GILBERT 2010 Update

    Yup - that's called Arizona fescue. Do like they do, just plow it up, and spread gravel all over the place. A couple well-placed cacti will balance it all out. Or do what some folks in Florida and So.Cal do, and just pour concrete over your whole yard, make a big slab to park the green iron...

    MadDawg's M37 gun truck project

    Got the rebuilt carb back this morning - the mechanic said the carb was filled with dried varnish from sitting with old gas in it for a long time. Also, the jets and gaskets were ALL shot. Now I know why it ran like crap at Haspin. Will stab that back on shortly, and more pics to come.

    how to identify a M51 A2 dump truck

    Did those M51s come from the factory in 1966 with the fender mounted air cleaner and the exhaust stack? Or did they get revamped sometime in their lifetime? I seem to remember the factory ones from the 60s came with the low exhaust pipe coming out near the rear wheels, and no air cleaner on...

    Would like to borrow at Gilbert....

    Looking for anyone who has anything Vietnam-era, weapons, vehicles, or otherwise, that would like to display at the hooch on the east end of the fairgrounds, to let me know what you have and bring it there anytime Thursday-Saturday. I am especially looking for anyone with an M2 or M122 tripod...

    GILBERT 2010 Update

    Truck is packed already (has been for months), ready to go. The gun truck won't be done in time, too much to do in too short a period of time. Either way, I'll be set up in the radio shack at the East end of the fairgrounds. Hope to see everyone there...

    Got the rifle holder mounted today

    Looks good - I have mine installed, haven't gotten the chance to buy dummy M16s to put in the rack. To be honest, waiting for good looking dummy M14s to put in them!

    Room for sleepers behind 915 series trucks?

    There would only be room for a sleeper if you plan on taking off the fifth-wheel, and using the pintle only for towing. If you have to have towing capability, and a decent sized sleeper, get a M920 like Soni H. did, here's a pic of his setup.
