Gun Truck Brutus.

Divorce was final May 1. Cleaning up the yard and well this past Saturday I spent 3 hrs on a pressure washer getting over 2 years of crap off the M-54A1. She did not want to run at first but with a really good charge on batteries and a good shot of ether by me and my most amazing girlfriend behind the wheel at the starter switch. She returned to the living with a sweet idle that only and ENDT-673 could muster.

been a very long road but I am back.

Greetings Gents,

I just got a frantic call from a German friend of mine about gun trucks in SVN, and Brutus, in a documentary. By the time I got him to slow down, the program was over. He claimed that he watched a show on the development of gun trucks in SVN. If so, can you all give me a lead on the documentary? Would be nice to watch. Back in 1973, we built something like Brutus, here in Germany. I was in HAWK ADA, and we needed heavy fire power to be mobile, for our MP's. Our security SFC claimed he had rode on such a truck in SVN, and he ramroded the project. We kept it for a few years in the unit, and one day had to turn in the truck when we got M813 drop sides. Would be intresting to see the documentary.

Johnson sent them all to Nam, but the Nam Vets ain't talkin yet.
My friend ran a quad 50 off the back of a truck but He is gone now.
He was Hoyt.

Still alive! You know we only have two years before your 5 ton becomes your longest restoration. Maybe a little help from your friends?
