The truck is mine. When the truck came up for sale, I presented the idea to Craig on the buildup as a War Pig for display at the museum and for MV events and parades. Though I could make room at my shop, the room needed for working on it would be a big inconvenience. I saw the potential of making something representive of something currently in service that the public never/rarely see, and the museum is the perfect place
Some have suggested restoring it to the original M1094 cofiguration because of it's rarity. The cab has a lot of damage, and finding a complete LVAD cab would seem nearly impossible, or cost prohibited (at least for my budget), besides my belief is a toy should be a softtop
. And the tops removed from the trucks were only for air dropping. My plan is to make the windshield's folding frame removeable for display with removeable hinge pins and useable for the road, to be legal...
I also want to thank the members here and at the museum that have given me a lot of positive support on this project that could just have been a 24000lb albatross around my neck
And if anyone can find any more pics of War Pigs, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd post them here, or PM them to me.
