Cheyenne Christmas parade Toys For Tots. For the past 7 or 8 years I’ve lead the parade with my truck. We put the word out to the community that if they wanted to, they could bring toys and we’d pick them up as we travel along the parade route. This your we filled 7 big boxes of toys and a...
I’ve got a pretty good list. I have a Gun Truck I’ve built, the War Wagon. It’s built on a ‘70 M35A2 w/w. Right now my armament is three M2 replica .50 cal MG’s, a M60 replica, a M16 replica, some grenade replicas, a LAW rocket tube and a bun load of ammo cans. I’m planning for a forth M2 which...
I was reading a book, “Vietnam, A Complete Photographic History” by Michael Maclear. Photographs edited by Hal Buell. On page 12, I found a picture of a pre-Vietnam War Gun Jeep. The picture is dated January 1947 and has the caption: “With a building burning in the background, French Soldiers...
I don’t have any pictures, however, if memory serves me correctly, there were improvised gun trucks used in (no particular order) Beirut Lebanon, Panama and Desert Shield/Desert Storm. They were also used by various “teams” that were running around various places where the local population...

Installed a brand new Rampage model K-4768QAM/FM cassette player. Found it new, still in its bubble pack. Then I found a box of Christmas cassettes. Now I've got a real system that shouldn't fry my batteries. Also getting the truck Christmas lights functioning again. Last year I fried the radio...
I figured it out. Because this truck has a 318 V8 made between 1957 and 1966, the mechanical linkage will not fit. The previous owners solution was to install a hydraulic clutch. He used a M37 master cylinder, about 3 feet of aircraft grade hydraulic hose, some fittings and a second hydraulic...
I can't seem to find anything on the subject so here it goes: the clutch pedal when depressed, actuates a hydraulic cylinder, similar to the brake master cylinder. It is in fact mounted just outboard of the brake master cylinder. A hose runs from the back of the "clutch cylinder" to a smaller...
Underneath the GovPlanet sticker, should be the data plate that tells you what the manual is. If possible, give the exact dimensions of the bearing/race/parts/doodads. I'll dig thru my pile and see what I've got.
