Here's a video ( I hope ) that Lesa Barbour put together for our first Gathering reunion held at Fort Eustis, As I stated in another thread the video you see in here is only a portion of quite a bit more, but I hope this works---when this was shown it was pretty neat because it was one of the first videos alot of us had seen with real gun truck video in it----I hope you all enjoy it---------------------Driver

Driver...I think we have decided to keep the Proud American (you saw her at PF) as is and make the mack GT some other truck. She has the yeller nose...so what other 8th Gp or 523 truck do we need?
Looking for a good name here to complete the history.

what were the tubing assemblies on the front fenders for?

If you are referring to the B&W photo in post 112, they are the rear view mirror supports. Relocated to accomodate the limited view for the driver out the portholes.

 

[Rich 442]

Yohan I seen your post asking about the 442. I was there in 69-70. What was your uncles name?
I am new here when I figure how to post pics I will post some of the 442 trucks on here.

 

[Yohan]

Hi Rich! PM sent... He even remembers one of his truck numbers, which I think I wrote down when I talked to him on the phone about it a few months ago.

Nice pics but has any of you seen the 5ton that had the m113 tank shell mounted on it, was just thinking how the guys mounted it, I remember seening it in one of the old mvm.
