War Wagon is the name of my 1970 M35A2. When I bought it, I named it War Wagon, just because. I can’t recall when I decided to go out and do a full sized replica/tribute. Whenever that was, since then I’ve slowly built the truck to look like a later version of what I thought War Wagon would look...

I’ll post it on the truck. I’ve been playing around with an ideas. There’s a sign shop in town that can do up some real nice info boards. I want to get a good background not only of War Wagon, which is only a small story, but of gun trucks as a whole. With 550+ gun trucks, I kinda had to make it...

Thank you for your post! If I could, I’d like to copy it and put it in a scrap book I’ve been working on. Once all this brouhaha finally calms down, I can get War Wagon to the parades and open house at the AF base. It’s the fine details that help tell the gun trucks story. I’m trying my best to...

How much did the harness run you?

You’d think a town that small wouldn’t have parts but it does. North Hill, South Hill, Down town and my favorite part: Sgt City.

Hmmm, I think I have a power supply and several mounts.

What are you still looking for?

I had the problem you described many years ago. I had a 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser. It idled fine, filters were all good. I finally chased the problem to a blown head gasket. The gap on the head gasket only became problematic when I was pulling a load or climbing a hill. Changed out the head...

There is one in Dubois. They have a quad .50 gun truck. It’s not built to any specific truck, but it sure looks nice! A friend took these pictures which were taken inside the soon to open museum. It was scheduled to open around Memorial Day weekend. Not sure how the current brouhaha is going to...

Time to bring Proud back to its home, with PapaBear.

...from SE Wyoming, Oohrah!

I grew up in Pendleton. What part of town do you live in?

I gave your pics a good looking over and you are in luck. There is a 90 degree gearbox on the tail. This, hopefully, indicates you have an intact drive train. Also, the primary servos and main transmission are installed. You’ll need to find/install a mast, a swashplate and scissor assembly and a...

Here’s some info. The Huey M or Mike model started out as UH-1C. This helo was built in 1966 and was given the serial number 66-15234. My primary source of information only states that it was converted to UH-1M. The UH-1C was used during Vietnam mostly as a gun ship. If you can find a data...

I need to learn that skill. I’ve got holes in the fire truck that need filling.

Lots done today. Finally got the windshield removed. Also got the driver’s side step removed. I can really see the crunched corner now. Decided to remove the headliner, just because. What a mess! Dang rodents poo and pee on everything then build a nest on to of that! I think that was the last of...

Are there any data plates on the dash/glove box/door posts? It’ll help a great deal to see those plates, regardless of where it was built/owned. I pulled this pic from the web. Look familiar?

Almost forgot. I like to give my trucks a “mission”. One is the Toys For Tots truck, one is the Vietnam War gun truck tribute, and one is my LtCol Ken Bourland/Air Force Rescue tribute. I’ve been tossing ideas around and think I’ve found a mission. Every day, on average, 22 veterans commit...
