From Facebook- this was the ferry flight to Castle AFB to put the B-47 in the collection. 1986. My brother had a Dodge like it in high school, but his was purple. The 50's jet and 80's truck look so odd I thought I'd share the picture. v/r, jason

This was a 'suggested' page to follow post on my Facespace timeline.

Forgive me for reviving this, but I just found this fascinating thread this morning. First, thank you for posting it. I never knew these existed! I was born in 1975, and would have modelled the you know what out of these in my model building phase in the 80s. ;) Also, I have a question. Were...

I wondered about that too. There was a crew cab 2wd Dually for sale locally a few years ago I wish I'd bought now. It was still Air Force blue and you could almost make out the faded lettering. Unfortunately, I was in a phase of 'if it ain't 4WD, it ain't (you know what)" and passed on it even...

Good evening all! On a whim, I watched "Stripes" this afternoon. At the end, there is what appears to be an M890 on the tarmac. It looks like it might be painted Air Force Blue? What do you all think? v/r, jk

If you go to the main page for steelsoldiers, under the "Technical Manuals" at the top there is a category called "PS Magazine". It is a magazine issued by the Army, been published since the Korean Conflict. I usually sort them by cover art, then scroll through the years 1976-1983 or so...

I found this in the PS magazine archives while looking for something else. Maybe these brackets can be adapted to the back too, somehow?

Looks great! What size and brand are the tires? That's the look I'm after. Thanks!

I wish there was more info on it. The site is actually for M151's (Vietnam era "jeep" 1/4 ton), so obviously the focus wasn't on the Dodge. ;)

Found this on a thread at G838.org. Credit to gpready over there for the original post. I thought it had interesting tires from what I've normally seen. jk

Hi MattL! Where in SE MI are you? I'm in Wayne. Would love to see the truck sometime. Still looking for one myself. Take care! jk

I don't have any experience with them, but came across this website the other day looking at Jeep stuff. Looks like they do custom canvas work also. http://www.odcloth.com/products.html Nice truck. I'm a bit jealous. ;) Thanks! jk

My work homepage (@ford.com) had this on it this morning. Article is about an amphibious Jeep in India that was used to aid miners in a major flood. http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/article7953682.ece jk

Oh to go back! ;)

Here is the video. Hopefully it's not sideways- it's filmed on my Iphone.
