Looks real nice! I too have a 1986 M1009 Blazer. New tires and an aftermarket screw on fuel filter fixed drivability issues. I bought a radio rack and new floor covering. The original floor mat was pretty nasty and hid several small rust spots that'll need TLC before too long. Mine sits most of...
Hmmm, gives me a few ideas... I wonder how well a War Pig mod would look with an M-35? Or maybe an M-52? I'll go way out there, a War Pig M-211!
Your truck is one awesome looking truck!
I was on A models from 82 to 85. I don't think there were any radar detectors on the market yet. I don't remember them coming out till the late '80's. The way we searched for incoming bogies was a bit more primitive. The Crew Chief and I pulled out the rear most cabin windows. We then lowered...
Haven't got that far yet. The previous owner apparently used the truck for hunting and as a bug out vehicle in case of a zombie apocalypse. I've removed probably close to 1,000 pounds of stuff from the cab and tool box. I've still got to clear out the bed, which has 6 or so chained up water and...
I got to watch a few take off from NAS Alameda while standing wheels watch. Every time, it was like getting hit with a wall of sound 🚀. Also, when we went to WTI at MCAS Yuma, we got to fight 2V2 CH-53's against various fighters. We liked fighting F-4's. You could see them coming from miles...
Update: I've been looking all over the truck for evidence that this truck may be a M42. It is a 1952 truck. Is has data plates on the glove box but the only thing written on them is the trucks serial number. There are also three data plates around the steering wheel. There's a map light next to...
Got the truck home. One heck of a retrieval though. Very tight area. Very small "barn"! We arrived at the home of the owner thinking we'd be done fairly quickly. After all, it's just a matter of pulling it out and loading it up, right? Nope, not even close. It took almost an hour to maneuver the...
Hi, I hope I can assist you in questions or concerns about gun trucks. I am no expert on Gun Trucks. My specialty/AFSC/MOS was helicopter maintenance. I did a bunch of research on Vietnam War gun trucks before I actually started work on my own gun truck. My M35A2 "War Wagon", is built to...
After building War Wagon (still am for that matter) I've been looking at my other trucks, trying to decide if I really need a second gun truck. No such thing as overkill, lol! If my War Wagon were to leave me, I'd put another truck together rikitiky!
Howdy All,
