My new book - Vietnam Gun Trucks

[DavidB]

So if you have Gun Trucks have you read it yet and what do you think?
I have had my copy of Gun Trucks for some time now and have enjoyed the the work David Has put into another great read. This time of year the ground is unstable (toys get stuck in bunches) so I would encourage you to work on finishing the Deuce book.Summer is still a ways off.

I got my copy of "Gun Trucks" today and I am quite pleased. The pictures are sharp and I was able to figure out how the armor plate was applied to the doors and windshield. That was a something I couldn't figure out from my other books. Kudos to Mr Doyle for a quality book!

DDoyle, hoping you don't mind me posting this vid here (not sure where best to put it up).

It's not too long (under 5 minutes).

The vid features the driver of a Gun Truck called "The Matchbox":

I haven't enjoyed the privilege or pleasure of reading your book, DDolyle, and I just ran across this today (from another thread here on SS).

It says here in this book (go to the link below and scroll up to Page 491, bottom left of that page) that "Eve of Destruction" was the only authentic gun truck to return to the States from Viet Nam. Is that right?

Correct. There are some very well done re-creations today that provide credible tribute to the crews of these trucks, but documentation indicates that Eve was the only gun truck to be returned intact from Vietnam.

Thanks to all who posted kind remarks above.

Best wishes,
