I think you'll be pleased. If you are familiar with my two-volume Dodge book (http://www.ampersandpubco.com/new-products-1/us-dodge-the-development-and-deployment-of-dodge-military-trucks-1940-1975) - this project is coming together in much the same fashion, albeit larger, owing to the MANY...

I'll knock this one out right away, since I've gotten so many emails about this through the years. In 1984 the USMC awarded a $52.2 million contract (with extensions), that ultimately converted 2,028 M54 trucks to M813. The Corps rebuilt the cabs, axles, transfer case and drive shaft. They...

Greetings all, After over a decade of work, my five-ton (M41/54/656/809/939 et al) book is now rushing headlong toward completion. This book will be similar to my two-volume Dodge set from a couple years ago. After having been deeply immersed in this subject so long, I fear that in some cases...

Greetings all, After over a decade and a half of work, my G-742 (M34/35/A1/A2/A3 et al) book is now rushing headlong toward completion. This book will be similar to my two-volume Dodge set from a couple years ago. After having been deeply immersed in this subject so long, I fear that in some...

Welcome! If you haven't already met him (and you probably have), you should make a point of looking up Frank Buck in Gettysburg. I am confident you'll have a lot in common to talk about. Best wishes, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

So, to be sure I am clear on all this - a bone stock M38A1 would be a no-go, but a M151A2 with ROPS or hardtop would be good, as would my M35A2 with hard top - but not my M35A2 with soft top, correct? Best, David www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

My suggestions would be to try Brian Asbury or Memphis Equipment Company. Hope this helps, David www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

I have heard that the park requires roll cage and/or seat belts - any truth to this? Best, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Correct. There are some very well done re-creations today that provide credible tribute to the crews of these trucks, but documentation indicates that Eve was the only gun truck to be returned intact from Vietnam. Thanks to all who posted kind remarks above. Best wishes, David Doyle

I would require people to post using their real, given name, as appearing on their birth certificate/marriage license or work ID - and I'd be willing to bet that no one's mother named them "three-speed transfer case." The reasons - people can forget civility when they think that they are masked...

This sale - and all the many others on my website - are in their final hours. Close out the old year with some reading material for those coming cold days of the New Year!Happy New Year everyone! Sincerely, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

While I don't have a 900-series truck, I do have a M292A2 expansible van. It is one of my favorite vehicles to drive on the road - the long wheelbase and heavy weight of the box make for a very smooth ride (for a 2 1/2 ton 6x6). Those same factors are likely to work against you in a severe...

Try Portrayal Press for paper copies, or www.easy1productions.com for digital copies of the paper manuals (not poor-quality pdfs). HTH, David www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Not CAD files, but the MVPA Archives offers copies of the original Ordnance drawings of several models of half-track. You can contact MVPA HQ at 816-833-6872. That said, with the approaching holidays and vacations, I know HQ is short staffed, which may slow order processing. Hope this helps...

Friends, Since launching my website I have sought to consistently ship all orders within 24 hours of receiving them (in most cases, orders placed before 2 PM ship same day). My recent promotions, combined with the free Media Mail shipping offer, have brought about responses far exceeding my...
