Wow! That thing is a work of art! I'd be afraid to use it and get it all dirty and oily...

Great! Now all your need are two NDT 9.00x16 tires and the slave cable box to mount to the brackets that are already there....

ALSO - there are some armored vehicles that have came off of military ranges, used as targets. These were either sold surplus with a demil requirement, OR they were illegally removed from the range. And if you buy one that has been restored, but had this demil requirement or was removed from a...

Sometimes armor comes from private companies that got ahold of the vehicles for contracting/development purposes, and SOMETIMES they can sell it legally afterwards. Sometimes they come from police departments that are done using them for SWAT duty, but I'd expect this more for older vehicles...

Good save on the M100. Try power washing it with a power sprayer, that yellow latex paint might just peel off under the pressure. Looks like all you need is a replacement lunette and you're all set!

Gary's Halftrack parts used to have a pile of new and good take-off tracks. Are they all gone? http://www.halftracks.com/index.cfm

There's a meme in Hot Rod Magazine I've always been fond of - "dare to be different". Lemme tell ya, you can't be more different than wanting to restore a fire/rescue truck! Subscribed, I'm gonna like following this resto...

Was sent this the other day by another member. Great website with lots of .pdf manuals on military radios, teletypes, antennas, test equipment, mics, speakers, hand/head sets, power supplies, etc. Most of them are older rigs from the 1940s through 1980s, a few newer. But most importantly, a...

Well, after over a month, the weekend pictures are finally up on the Torsk website for all to see. Lots of work got done, and also 5 USS Torsk veterans showed up to help out, which is always great to see. The pics are available to see here...

I think to get "original" OD coyote will have to find a standard hard top, that plywood job looks odd, it has to go. I'm surprised it even survived in the Pacific NW long without rotting.

That's what I get for losing my copy of David Doyle's Standard Catalog of US Military Vehicles. I knew one of them had singles and one had duals, I guess I got them switched. Were the singles 11.00x20s? Or just standard 9.00x20s?

Those M47s are a rare bird these days, only a few still exist. Plan to restore back to completely original? That would mean dual NDTs in the rear, you need the side boards in the dump bed, too. Also, did the dumps come with a hard top standard? Or was it soft top only back in the 1950s?

Looks awesome! I like it, I would have preferred a little more "patina" to give it that rat rod look, but otherwise very cool. Looks better than this deuce hot rod...

That thing is AWESOME! Hope to see that truck in person someday....

Let's bring it up for air for some of our newer members, or our older members with new rides!

Question for AMG - are you replacing the broken spring pack with another take-out, or are you taking the pack to a spring shop to be repaired?

Looks great! Nothing beats an electronics/radio shelter all restored and operational...

Sigh...I miss the days when our combat ships had big guns on them. Now they look like a B-movie prop and fight the enemy with harsh language.

A tracked vehicle on rocky ground will throw a track in short order. Rausch Creek and tracked vehicles, even if RC staff say okay, isn't a good combination. If this were Haspin or GA rally, where there aren't many rocks, I'd say otherwise. But I really don't think someone with a $100K tracked...

It looks like a general purpose power supply, not meant for any specific radio set, in order to power 12 and 24V DC radios with 115 AC household voltage. There are units throughout the 1950s to the 1980s that did this, most are heavy beasts because the transformers inside needed to convert the...
