Thanks Gerald! That one in the movie happens to be mine. :) That was before it was repainted back to its original factory color.
You will also see it in the season finale of a popular TV show on TNT for the 4th season of #$(@#%&*. I am not allowed to say which show that is. lol
Since people seem to be having luck requesting info on hard to find vehicles, does anyone on here have any information on the Cadillac Gage Commando Scout? I am looking for:
Good interior pictures showing stowage layout
Manuals (I would pay someone good money if they could get me a set)
Any...
Looks great, Rory!! I hope to have the engine in mine soon. From your posts it looks like that will be only the start of new things to figure out and troubleshoot.
Tell your son I wish him the best at boot camp. I am sure he is excited.
See you again next time I get back to TX!

Here are some other oddities someone may have the answer to-
These were at Cad Gage several years ago. Is one of these the same as the vehicle shown above? Are they V-300s or V-600s?

I have the V150 maintenance, operators and parts manuals. They are 3 ring bound so they should be easy to copy. Not sure what it would cost, but if you need a set I can look into it.
Also have a factory promo film of the V150...
I should have known that was coming.... sigh.
Anyway, here are pics of what I had access to. The other stuff will have to be photographed this weekend.
Selling:
2 early style M-series Armor interior dome lights. Not WW2, not the square ones. These are round, have the white and red lenses and the M-Series switch. Used in the M75, early Dusters, Bulldogs and Korean era Shermans

Well we figured it out today- bad turn signal switch!
Strange that the one on the vehicle, as well as a NOS experienced the same problem. Third time was the charm. Guess they just don't make them like they used to.
thanks for the help everyone! even if it wasn't the issue I learned some...
I searched the other threads and didn't see this issue anywhere (hopefully I wasn't just blind)
Anyway-
Here's the symptom-
When I put the turn signal in the left position, both front and rear left signals work correctly.
When I put it in the right position, the front right signal works...
I can send you a bunch of different M75s in service that show markings.
Email me, I would be happy to send them to you. We went through the same thing when we did this one.

Here are some pics of the V100 engine we are finishing up. As has already been discussed, the original carb/manifold setup is a pain. I used the Edelbrock performer manifold and a Holley Street Avenger carb. As you can see, it is easy to make it look pretty stock. I repainted the carb so I...

Shoot me an email. You are welcome to look at my machine in person, as well as my V-150 manuals which show the diesel installed. I am in the Portland area. Not sure where you are, but I see you are in Oregon too.

I remember seeing a privately owned one driving around at the Aberdeen, MD shows back in the late 80s.
It was pretty nice if I recall. Anyone have pics of that one? I know I have some laying around somewhere.
Ok, here is my advice-
I own an M114. I love it.
Having said that, given the two choices you listed, I would buy the M113.
I know the owner of that vehicle and it is an excellent deal. Not sure what ArmyJeeps has it listed for currently.
The M114A1E1 listed on the site has a dummy 20mm. It...
