    Grill to Brush Guard Clearance

    Using the same reference points as in your pictures, both my M1009s measure 2.75" from the grill on top and 2.5" at the the bottom. My M1028 brush guard is tilted back a little bit, it measures 2.25" on top and 2.5" at the bottom. You'd have to be looking with a critical eye to notice the...

    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    I do indeed! I've often found that those with a negative opinion are considerably more willing to express it than the positive ones. As my father used to say "Everyone has a belly button too, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world needs or wants to see it". Cheers

    5 ton ESP Prototype (M939/5TTR)

    It's a shame it was allowed to deteriorate like that. I wanted both trucks at the time, but got a firm no, not for sale. :cry: I figured you'd recognize the place. ;) Cheers

    MV of the month February 2025 nomination

    It's all relative! Around here it often looks the same in February as it does in July - clear, dry, and sunny. It was 82* here last Saturday. Perfectly feasible beach weather. :) Of course, it also depends on what day it is, as Central Texas winter weather is a roller-coaster ride - it's...

    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    I have dug through my rather massive photo file, nothing found so far, but I'll continue to dig. It is a bit frustrating at times - I have yet to identify the Army serial number for my V, so while I know where/when the 720th MP had it, and have numerous V photos from that time, I don't know...

    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    I agree with not renaming the V. Wearing something with its original name is, in my mind, better than sending it out wearing someone else's coat. Cheers

    Great seeing kids in there learning hands on how to do these things. [thumbzup] Cheers

    My M715 'rework' project

    This M715 didn't have the rear tie-downs for some reason. Unknown if it ever had them, there was nothing to indicate any had ever been there, and I don't know why someone would remove them. Maybe having tie-downs on the ends of the axles was considered to be enough, but my other trucks have...

    A tie at the end of regulation play, a tie at the end of overtime! Cheers

    looking for lusterless yellow, 33538

    By chance I used Sunburst Yellow yesterday to repaint the bridge plate for a friend's M37. It's what he already had on his shelf, and he wanted to use it, so.... My opinion for what it is worth is that it is a tad light in tone, but looks pretty good. Cheers

    is this a military bracket?

    You probably already know the second tail light is an add-on too. Looking forward to seeing more of your truck (we like pictures on here. :) ) Cheers
