Right after the auction someone posted the prices for all the vehicles at the event along with the bidder numbers. I have been searching but I can not find it. Does anyone have the thread bookmarked?
I have seen quite a few HMMWVs with the grille pushed out accommodate the 6.5T. But I just look on epay at a sand colored HMMWV in which the guy wants a $105K and his grille is just a standard grille like on 6.2/6.5NA trucks. Anybody knows why some are extended and while some aren't?
Why are MK-17 RBUs so rare?
Seems like just about every LVS RBU has been released in numbers except the MK-17. Anyone know why? They seem to be pretty hard to come by.
Thanks.
Do I have to open the hood in order to remove the grille? I am hoping that the bolts holding it on come off without opening it. The hood on the M139 looks heavy and I doubt I can lift it myself.
Note to Mods: I am going to post a classified ad when I actually have parts removed from the truck. This is just an info thread.
We have 2 M139 Bridge trucks sitting in our yard that are at risk. When scrap goes up, their future will be uncertain. I have decided to try to pull lighter weight...
Why are gamma goats on the demil list? The only reason I can think of is the noise and I do not think that is an excuse to put it on the list. Did they have a tendency to over turn wit the 4 wheel steering?
I am a member of a few other Military forums and I have read something about recoilless rifles being mounted on a M37? It does makes sense, we all know what GI creativity looks like (M113 + M54 = M113 Gun truck). Does anyone have any photos of this?
The Military Transport Association's annual MV show (aka Sussex) is 98 days away. Dates are April 16th-17th, 2016. The show is always a big hit and is probably the biggest in the northeast now. This is a great event with lots of MVs, Vendors, and more.

Was V100 the manufacture designation and XM706 (and variants) was the US Military Designation? I always see the 2 used together but was not sure why.
Thanks.
I am trying to put together a registry of all M901 ITVs/M981 FIST-Vs/ LAV with ITV hammerhead/Any ITV or FISTV turrets with out carriers.
I have heard there is one at Tankland and a museum in HI. Can anyone please provide pictures and serial numbers I can use please? There also was a M901...
We have been going through some A2s and have some questions. I already know Budd made Ford's bodies.
1. One of the jeeps is just a rolling chassis and has no data plate. I can tell you this is not a 1970 Ford. Is there anyway we can tell if this is a Ford/Budd or AM General?
2. Sticking with...
Were M151A2s ever painted tan while in US Army service? I know some in private hands are sand but I wasn't sure if the Military ever did that. By Desert Storm, everything was HMMWV.
Did you like it better when GL was selling rolling stock or do you like how GP is currently doing it.
I haven't heard many good things about GP and SF97s. Not to mention the reserves. But the detailed description can be helpful.
Which do you prefer, sorry if this is a double post.
Hi All,I sold some manuals from my manual thread and went to edit it earlier. When I went to edit it I noticed that the usual icon bars that are at the top of this type box are missing. (They are missing as I write this.) So when I went to change prices, remove sold items and such everything...
