And Mr. Rottman screwed up right from the get-go. The term "FUBAR" is a Vietnam-era term meaning "F***ed Up Beyond All Recognition." The World War II term was "SNAFU," or Situation Normal, All F***ed Up." Be that as it may, it certainly is one darned fine truck!

Congrats on a great score, Sir! I may be a 4-star General on here, but Uncle Sam only sends me an E-6's retirement check! About your truck...it's a primo machine, for sure. Do you know where I might come up with one like it (for 2 months' pay or less)?

I'm 67, retired from USAF, retired from teaching English, and thinking about going back for my "Piled Higher and Deeper." I don't need it, but I have the time to do it, and it would really frost my brother to have to call me "Doctor." :)

roflYou "young whippersnappers" are giving your age away! When I was your age, all cars/trucks had either a crank to open the windshield or a lever to open a cowl vent. (Dual windshield wipers, radios, heaters, automatic transmissions, were extra-cost options. Air conditioning was unheard of...

It may be considered "political messaging" in our current situation, but it is legal to display it. According to Federal law, any flag which has been officially adopted at any point in American history may be legally displayed.

I'm guessing that some poor Chinese private had to squat down with a brush and a can of white paint to get the tires "parade ready." Don't all armies work that way?

If you run the engine with the trans in neutral, it will probably stay in. If you put it in gear, it may work its way out in 1st gear or come flying out in high gear. Of course, you could simply remove the yoke before firing up the engine.

Google "military stencils" and a whole bunch of suppliers will pop up. First on the list is Rick Larsen's Military Stencils. Most of the guys on the forum have used his products at one time or another and have been pleased with the results, judging fron what I have read. Rick, himself, is no...

GMTA! :beer:

I fully agree, PB. I'm also on here numerous times a day, starting with my first cup of coffee in the morning all the way through to bedtime. With respect to the current problem, I have also noticed that the site isn't functioning normally for about 2 or 3 weeks, now. I am connected via...

Just for clarification, are you asking "what's allowed" or "what can ya get away with?" Technically, you're only allowed to perform those maintenance actions which will enable you to remove your item from the storage facility by closing time. What you can get away with is entirely dependent...

I'm seriously liking the Chevy with the searchlight. Care to post some info on it? Thanks!

Wow! There's a whole boatload of M37s there, most of which seem to be in pretty good shape. M38s, M37s, M35s, etc.! Someone needs to do a rescue/recovery mission!

Welcome to the forum, Brian. You neglected to mention what kind of music you play, but your idea is great. As a frequent visitor to the VA hospitals I know from experience that such visitors are rare and extremely welcome. Keep up the great work. You'll find plenty of info about ambulances...

Thanks, guys! I guess there's "living proof" that USAF-owned M715s actually existed. On the aerodrome signals decal, it may or may not be an Air Force decal. The signals are universal. If Air Force it will have an "AF form XXX" form number on the bottom. Army forms will be similar, but say "DA...

I'm assuming that you've already done the usual tests for fuel, compression and spark. The first thing you need to do now is to determine what engine you have. Briggs & Stratton, Clinton, McCulloch, Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki are the most common for that kind of application. Once you figure...

Does anyone know if the Air Force had any M715 series vehicles? I never saw one in my nearly 30 years in the AF, but I wasn't at every base, either. ;)

So, how about a follow-up? Did any military Mopars show up??

Been a long time since I heard that joke. It's still a good 'un, though!

Okay...I'll do my part. "What's a Henwqy?" ;)
