Yes, I second that Earl is a good guy. He has a BRDM himself, and has run a bunch through his place. He has contacts over there whence they came, that's why I suggested he would be a good one to talk to about parts, etc. Cheers

Louie, I was honoured to have you guys drive my V around! It was really great to see the looks on everyone's faces. And yes on the vision for what we do with our vehicles. WGT has done amazing work to convert his V into his dream machine. Mine, though a documented Vietnam veteran, is...

Welcome aboard, and Semper Fi brother! Cheers

It is the new Batmobile! Love the sound of that engine. Cheers

Yep, I knew you were right! Particularly when Vann climbed into the drivers seat saying "I haven't been in one of these for 40 years, I'll see if I remember how to start it" and had it running 7 seconds later.. :driver: Like a couple of other bits, I used what I could get. But if I can get...

Jeff has first dibs on stuff, but if he doesn't want the generator adjustment arm, and it goes up for grabs, I would like it. The one on my V is not an original, so I would like to replace it for that reason, and also because it may cure my fan belt leaping off at inopportune moments. Cheers .

It is possible to make a weapon carrier, there is a thread on here somewhere on the topic. It shows some the military used for training, and some the USAF used, but the USAF took the fiberglass top off and mounted a pintle post in the bed. All were very light weight mounts. Now, using one of...

There are a couple closer than mine. It would be expensive to truck mine up and back that far. A gathering of V100s would be cool though. [thumbzup] Cheers

Where are the pictures, Marine? :p You might contact Earl Tucker at Int'l Repo Depo in Waller, he has/had a couple of these, he would be a good source for knowledge and perhaps parts. I meant to take a picture of his next to my V100 when it was at his place, but neglected to do so. (Need an...

The M75 was used in several MVs back in the day (including the early M113s), but that radiator is definitely V100, so I would be brash enough to presume the rest is too. The V100 radiator hangs above and in front of the engine at a 45 degree angle (approximately), thus the offset cap on the...

Thanks Louie. Davey comes home on the 21st for two weeks leave. His mum didn't get to make the trip to California when he came home from Afghanistan, so she has dibs on first hugs (followed by his girlfriend, then his siblings, then, hopefully, me!). Paddy is scheduled to go in February. Happy...

I've never had a problem with Rapco paint, including the primer. I use it on all my vehicles. Contact Mark and see what he can do to make it right for you, he is a good guy and easy to work with. Cheers

Federal Jetsream lightbar. My M1009s perform the duty of "Tail-End Charlie" when we move the big trucks on the roads. Cheers

And my krappy point-n-shoot camera video! Waiting on some video of your WGTV100 Gerald! Cheers

I don't know if it was proximity or what, but mine did the same thing a few nights back while I was following Pawnshop to chow (two 1009s in a row with the same malfunction). I thought the left front bulb was bad, so I pulled it. It looked good but dirty, so I cleaned it well, cleaned the...

If you watch this video, you may recognize the V100 in it (starting around the :51 mark). They (Textron) saw the videos Pawnshop posted on Youtube and contacted him/me for permission to use them. We of course said yes. I also sent them some additional clips. We were going to take some...

Looks well worth saving, appears very complete and original. Cheers

Ah! An M269, the shortbed version of the M270. Haven't seen one except in manuals. Very cool. Cheers

The total has risen slightly to $2220, which is good. (And yes, this is a blatant bumping of the thread...) Cheers

Understood! I pulled the leaking core out of my M813 heater to fix it, but 6 years later it is still sitting there. Just don't need a heater around here. Temperatures plunged to 65 last night... It does get cold here, but not by comparison to other places. When it is 40* outside, there is...
