I believe there are still PILES of them in the system. There have been only a few A2s that got let go so far, so there's a whole 'nother batch that we haven't even seen yet.
Does anyone have some historical insight into the models of cable reel trailers that have been used by the Army Corps of Engineers and other combat engineer-related units since WWII?
Subscribed - I'd be interested in seeing any recommendations. My local neighbor joediveguy has a M1009 that he says gets only about 15 mpg, want to see if there's anything I can recommend to him.
Oh, this hit me like a truck. Bill and I were good friends, we set up the Vietnam display together at the Gilbert PA shows, and once at the MTA show. We'd bump into each other at the Jim Thorpe show as well. He was a great guy, always had a smile and a wise-crack joke for me every time we...
Thanks, but I still feel that I held up the line trying to make sense of the map and the trails, and how they didn't match. Plus, many of the trails were not marked on the map, nor did they have signs. Frank, the pilot of the M923 I rode in, did great as a driver, and he said I batted .900 in...
As always, had a great time at Rausch Creek. Wish it didn't turn out to be the weekend of the race there, as well, but that's not of our making. First time I've been over on the other side of the road, so that was kinda interesting, and frustrating as a lot of the signs were down and a few...
I got a few war movies that would be appropriate for the rally, I'll bring them along.
BTW - first VA rally I brought a large white tarp, a laptop computer and a digital projector, we watched Kelly's Heroes projected on the side of Opie's M109 shop van.
Also, the most common tire for that M10 trailer, if you are going for a 100% restoration, would be 8.25x20 truck road tread tires, NOT 9.00x20 NDTs. However, if you're just going to fix it up to use it for yourself, perhaps getting lightly used 9.00x20 NDT tires from a M35A2 truck owner, who is...
FYI - the fuze box on the M10 is the same as the one on the newer M332 ammo trailer. Might be relatively easy to find someone who has a M332 that would be willing to sell it to you...
Please change my arrival time to late Friday evening around 7pm, I have some work related stuff to take care of and I can't leave the area until I'm done with work.
