This is not a for sale add or a give away add. It's a help me save a piece of history request. Some of you have seen the M553 10ton GOER wrecker I got from AMG here on SS. When we (CAMO) had our little museum (MV petting zoo) the GOER had a useful place in life. We even got her running (with...

A Vietnam Guntrucker is looking to build an M37 Guntruck and has asked if anyone knows anything about a feller somewhere in Florida that supposedly has or had an M37 GT Replica named MR NICE?? Anyone have any info??

Last Saturday we (CAMO) were invited to go out and take a look at the facility where most of the work will be done on vehicles destined to be part Armor/Cav Museum when it is built.:-D Today after an excellent T-bone steak lunch at the VFW, four of us headed out on a recon. There are...

Got a call from a Motor Carrier Compliance Officer today for a Class B CDL driver to either impound a truck or deliver the load. The request was strange enough to peak my interest so I snatched up a driver and we headed out...about 2 miles away. Upon arrival...met a 72yr old man and his...

The old M211 we've had for a few years was feeling sorta left out with all the "newer" deuces, 5tons and etc., so what to do???:roll: A friend had an XM211 he bought about a year ago and hadn't done a thing with it so I figured what the heck, I should buy it...and do nothing with it.:whistle...

I'm thinking one of my heavy wrecker drivers got some of WM's "special fuel elixer" and added it to the tank of one of my 50/30 heavy wreckers. He was driving across Veteran's Parkway here in Columbus (6 lanes) and he said he heard a "Clang, bang, then BOOM"!! Looks like a valve in #1 let go...

Uglyranger sent me this link for youtube: Vulcan4x4 - Offroader m?ng th?y ph?n 3 - YouTube That's a little too much "fording depth" for me!:cookoo:

I've been busy with personal business in KY and only got home early this morning. I've seen some chatter and even a complaint about Gathering IX, but I think (hope) that complaint was a misunderstanding. Anyhoo, I hope everyone that attended will jump in here and post their pics and...

Some new armor stuff has arrived for the Cav/Armor Museum here at Ft.Benning. Couldn't get too close cause the gate was closed...but not locked...just didn't wanna push our luck. Here's a few pics of what the flatbeds drug in:

Someone recently asked a friend (more like a brother) why we built the Proud American Guntruck Tribute. My only answer is....after reading about how she came to be and meeting some of her crew...we just had to: 20 February 1971 Richard B. Frazier (right gunner) was killed during an ambush of...

1943halftrack (SS name) got wind of an M37 hiding in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Today he, Marvin and I made a mounted attack on said AO and he bought himself a pretty darn nice M37 at what I consider a cheap price with no haggling. It's missing the tailgate, 1 tool box door, tow pintle and a few...

For anyone close enough and interested, the Fort Benning Sergeants Major Association will sponsor a Car, Bike and MV Show next Saturday at the new Infantry Museum. 09:00...??? There is no charge unless you register a vehicle for judging. CAMO will support with several different MVs from WWII...

Some of the Armor being ammased at Fort Benning, Georgia:

Just got off the phone with CARNAC. Looks like he has my new jeeps ready to go. Just awaiting transport. Here's a vid: Mass production of jeeps at the Willys-Overland factory in Toledo, Ohio, during World War II.

Today was probably the best day of my life. Uglyranger(SS) Calvin Bennett (Original builder of Proud American Guntruck and rear gunner) and Danny Cochran, Ace of Spades GT, converged on the CAMO compound and participated in an annual Medal of Honor Ceremony here in Columbus, Georgia. It Just...

I bought this 1947 Cleveland Trencher from a peanut farmer in SW Georgia about 3yrs ago. Since then, it has sat...and sat..:-( SS Member 1943halftrack knows a retired Marine LTC that does alot with the USMC Museum at Camp Pendleton, CA. so we all started plotting on how we could get the...

As some of you know, several of us CAMO members are ROAD Warriors..(Retired On Active Duty)[thumbzup][thumbzup] Every Wednesday we shy away from our duties and just do what ever we feel like doing so: Doc, Marvin, Uglyranger and yours truly went on a recon today and snapped some pics of the...

One of our Peterbilt 50/30 heavy wreckers decided she didn't wanna play anymore so she just shut down..front half inside our gate..back half outside the gate...gate blocked!! Refused to start...just cranked and cranked.auaaua As fate would have it, the other heavy and the medium were busy so...

Some good news on the home front (I hope). Troy and Tony have the transmission/transfer etc. back in the GOER and as far as they can tell, everything looks good. I guess the next step is to refill fluids etc. and fire the beast up and see what happens. We hope to do that within the next...
