I know a guy that got a 49 charlie and wanted to remove the tank and put a bed on it!! I had 3 deuces at the time and I offered to trade him!!! His had been sitting from airfield to airfield so it only had 9,000 mi on it. It needed to be gone through but yet he still did not want a ready to...

My father used to fly right seat on occasion with both PBY owners. I never went but Charlie used to like playing with cruise ships. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpY7wJ-_FxI

Hows this for a vacation ad!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FBnoqbAElg

Correct about no S............ I dont have a contact there but have seen a thread on another forum before the pics got deleted of someone who knew him well. I had met him and his son at a airshow in FLA back in the early 90's and he is a nice enough fellow for a oil tycoon. He has his...

Hey all..............Sorry to burst your bubble but I have not heard recently and it would have been big news if he had sold anything but there is a VERY good chance that this is a VERY old picture! This PBY has not flown in a few years and is tucked away in a private hangar with his other...

Can I ask where you got your information that they were built in the states??

This would make sense as anyone that owns a MB or GPW will be a member of the G503. I have a couple M-37's and I rarely go in the M-37 section here as there is alot more activity over on the G741. Who knows, maybe soon there will be a G744 site :)

Recieved your PM and actually I do see YOUR point but for those of us who would be many but got silenced when the poll got locked. It is obvious that you dont see ours. I did not ask to move the 900 series............just us with the M39 series. The reason I got was because its splintered...

Making room to expand the 5 ton section?

Wow the search feature does work....................Even way back in 04 it was needed.

Well I copied this link to a post over there so we'll get you in.

Do it again............Since I am in the room, I will let them know that your knocking at the door!!

Well I could have clarified this a bit more as I totally agree that the 800 series should be attached as these are Vietnam era trucks. The 800 series was the answer to all of the problems that we were facing on the roads of Vietnam. In its design, you can see DIRECT imput on the changes that...

Well from my understanding was that it was not going to happen. Its now even got to the point that the other thread that CMS Davis started is now LOCKED??? I really dont understand the point in that? As far as getting old posts moved? I really dont care if they got moved at all, we can...

Due to the difficulty of finding information and helping others with this series of trucks, I have attempted to try and persuede the "Powers to be" to separate this group from the Post Vietnam Section. It needs to be understood that these trucks were built with 50's technology and went through...

Post more pics when you get a chance....................I hope I catch the thread among all the 900 series posts.

I am sure that there will be some welds in Mig but I would like to have the bulk of the visual welds in stick. Ive seen some pretty good closeups of the n armor on some of these GT's including the Brutus Gun box. Pretty they were not, just functional.

The plates were originally 3'x4 that were 3/8" thick. Where I have cheated is I am using 5/16" plate. The reason I am doing this is that I am making a actual Gun Box that will be built separate from the truck. The ones in Vietnam, these boxes were removable and could be transferred from one...
