The front turn signals started out as the early style (smaller diameter) composite lights, later they switched to the standard larger composite lights, same as deuce and all the rest. They sorta fit the holes, and no trim rings or anything! It looks like you are missing the bracket that the...

I haven't tried putting one in a truck bed, but I have an M416 sitting outside that I can measure various dimensions on for you. Just say the word. ;) Cheers

Two common vehicle-mounted radios during Vietnam were the RT-524 and the RT-246. They are very similar in size and appearance, the -524 has dial tuned frequencies, the -246 has push buttons for pre-selected frequencies. A lot of vehicles (for instance the V100) had a second receiver, the...

Gotta love an M715, high on my list of favourite vehicles! Looks nice and complete, with only a few civilian embuggerations to undo. Lucky you got that hood-mounted blackout light, that's usually one of the first things fire departments do away with. Looking forward to watching this one...

Sure not easy to pick just one this go around! Cheers

Ha! That's what mine calls it too! She also calls the V100 "The Mistress" and says anything that takes that long to get ready to go out, and has so many accessories, has to be a woman. Cheers

That deuce belongs to Robert, a member of our group, LoneStar MVPA, who lives up Houston way. The quad mount, unfortunately, belongs to another guy, who has recently decided he wants to sell it, and not cheaply. :cautious: I was surprised that I managed to not only get into that quad mount at...

Well put, I can't improve on that!! Cheers

Now I want a 12' tall skeleton...! :ROFLMAO: I love where this is going, it is really cool! The lit-up red nose is a hoot! Cheers

Interesting tail lights. I guess Korea requires separate amber turn signals like several European countries do? Yes, these are Kia's I wouldn't at all mind having, their M715 developments are nice too. Cheers

In addition to what reloader64/Scott said above, LoneStar MVPA is a local (to central Texas) car club for MV owners. We do a lot of parades and other events. Here is our website - http://www.lonestar-mvpa.org/index.htm Cheers

Coming back from a touch-a-truck event for kids in Burnet, TX on Saturday. Looking over the hood of the M931A2 at Reloader64's M813 and Pawnshop's M1009. In the mirror, my better half driving the M1009 with an M416, and her sister driving the M1028A2. I chastise myself for taking pictures...

I'm guessing you are referring to the M1009 in your signature? If they are the mounts near the doors, you can actually reach up inside the panel from below and get a vice-grip on the back of the riv-nut to hold it while you get the bolt out. It's not real easy, and can induce frustration and...

As stated above, the vehicle can be in excellent condition, but of a type being phased out of service, so no expenditure to maintain them is authorized. When I visited my son's motor pool on Camp Pendleton in 2011, they had several M931A2 tractors that were in beautiful shape, but all were...

These are embarkation codes, on USMC vehicles. They are usually stenciled near or on the right front corner of the vehicle. I got this information from my Marine combat engineer son. As noted above, C/C is Condition Code - E indicates that the equipment is only to be repaired if the expense...

Much as I like the trailers (and covet the M1095!), the truck is an M813, and ....well...., it's an M813! Cheers

This is a real dog fight! Last month's competition drew a rather pathetic total of 28 votes, but this month we have 64 votes so far, and it isn't over yet! Cheers

One thing to keep in mind is that there are only around twenty V100s known to be in private hands in the US, restored and unrestored. There are probably a few lurkers hidden away in barns somewhere. There used to be quite a few Vs in police use, but they have mostly been retired due to age...

That state just gets more and more bizarre! Cheers

Yes, I was a Marine. I was always interested in accurately documenting markings because I was a model builder in my youth. My sons were also Marines. Son-the-elder was a combat engineer and heavy truck driver (LVSR MKR-16) with 1st CEB, so I was allowed access to his motor pool on Camp...
