Two years ago I was able to bring a few guys together at the Living history show in Ft. Drum NY. Here is Bob behind the wheel of my M-52A2 that has has his unit numbers and truck number on the bumper. Bob not being the shy type, demonstrated how he and other drivers would relieve themselves...

Please find your friend!!! Brutus had a initial problem with its mounting!!!! Small world if its the same.

Thanks brandon for the offer. I got 2 sets, one will make it on Brutus and the other will eventually find a home on the M-62. Thanks for getting me up to speed on the ENDT...............I found out why you like em so much a couple of weekends ago. They really do like to get up and go.

They are affiliated with that museum and SS members, That's why I asked. When you see a yellow nosed 5 ton tractor pulling a M-127 trailer, That's them.

Devin and his dad part of this?

The Build: Oh about 2001 I bought a 1968 Kaiser M-54A2C. This was going to be my gun truck but with life and other trucks such as 3 deuces and a M-37 and the M-151, it kept getting on the back burner. It would not be until 2011 when at a event in June where I got to drive behind a GT in my...

History Lesson #1. The Gun Truck Brutus was built in early 1969 in the 359th Motor Pool. The maint officer who was known as a SGT. Bilko who could get just about anything, wanted a Gun Truck with a BIG GUN. He originally set out wanting to find a 20mm Vulcan gun from a downed jet but with...

One of my fellow SS and local MV club member has been hounding me to start this thread. For a long time I have said that I am not doing this for the SS membership's entertainment. Recently I have changed my tune on this for now as maybe some might learn a few things about historical...

You would think it would be that easy.

Yep Vinny, you did buy a nice one but dont smell the roses too long, you need to keep moving :)....................................BTW, I was drilling holes today in some steel for a roman chariot.

Not so quick PB.:tank:

I was living in TN at the time and oh boy did he love having that truck in the yard. When I talked with margo about it I told her that it will be good for him for the better!! Its in good hands. For those who dont know Bud, he is a VN vet and was the twin .50 gunner on "EVE OF DESTRUCTION"

Do the front hubs!! I ran for a while with the stock set up and once I put them on and stopped everything from turning, it was like adding power steering. Maybe when the 2nd one is completed, maybe i will make a weekend to join you guys.

Ohhh I see you two getting ugly before its done!! You tell your friend not to go crazy on that truck!!! He has had it a long time and he should hopefully enjoy it for what it is. Ive got to make a trip to check you guys out. :)

This would be considered a Gun Truck.

What you guys need to remember is that all of these trucks were made to have a turret ring installed. Its main function was for protection from attack. The Definition of Gun Truck is a truck that was dedicated for convoy protection. This would involve not being able to carry cargo. Just...

Csm is right. Fix it up and enjoy it for what it is!! What I don't understand is that some were trashing the 427 as un reliable and problematic. Well if you look in the history books, so was it's replacement!! As for parts, just ask around all the old surplus dealers. No demand for...
