Unloaded new toy!

[M215]

Hey SS,
Unloaded the new project today (AKA money pit), this should keep me busy for next 5 years. Kind of rough, but good drive train and frame looks perfect.

Welcome to the world of armor. With the wall behind the drivers seat, was it a M16 half track?
I have a M2 halftrack and a parts halftrack, I am down the road from you in North Carolina.
One of the few, Frank
PS. I have owned the M2 for about 2 years and still have not got it to my home! If any one knows a truck driver who will haul from Nabraska let me know.

M215, The winch and winch bumper look to be in near perfect condition! Suspension looks good, looks like you've got the makings of a good looking track. Good luck and send pics of progress.

Frank, I'd be more than happy to go get your halftrack, but then I might get lost and end up back home. [Look what followed me home dear, can I keep it?] You probably wouldn't see the humor in it... But hey, if you ever want to sell it , let me know.

Man thats cool I wouldnt mind having one myself !

lacoda56, nope, not for sell. The guy I got it from has it stored for me in one of his barns on his ranch. It is also a winch model, with complete armor......and runs! This is the first M2 I have ever had.
Keep looking, this one I got was found on a farm, The guy I got it from sent me a photo of the day he found it. The farmer had a line of them. All with armor and some even had mine recks still on the sides. A very cool photo. I asked him why he did not get one with mine racks on it, and his reply was, "I can make mine racks, I can't make tracks!" The one he got (mine now) has like new tracks and front tires.
