Well, I'm looking at getting a new vehicle, a project truck plus a few other benefits from it. This is the truck I am looking at. Looks like a 77 M880 (couldn't get to the data plate). The under hood doesn't look too bad. but I'm going to need a new Carb I think. The one "issue" that I...

Chill out man, you posted just after midnight, and it's not even 8am.

it would be 634th Brigade Support Battalion... I'd say Echo Company 21st Trailer. probably tied to E21 as a prime mover. Echo Battery... should be for a Combined arms or... judging by the IL NG website, a Light or Straight Infantry Battalion.

Oh yeah, I'm tracking you were referring to the old unit. I have found some guys are surprised that their unit from 20-30-40 years ago still exists, just reorganized (and usually smaller). I served with 8th Ord Briefly in 2009. I am still on active duty, currently with the 108th Air Defense...

are you saying you served with 8th Ordnance (now) Company? That unit is still in existence. It is 8th Ordnance (AMMO) Company, belonging to either the 264th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB) or 189th CSSB under 82nd Sustainment Brigade (formerly 507th Corps Support/DISCOM) under 18th...

If it were a prototype, or the first off the line, or the last, I could see keeping it in exact mint condition. However, it's already been painted, it's not unique in any way. Make it yours, "own it".

Got parts in... need to pull the carb and see if I have the capability to rebuild it.

The Army is fielding a, what looks like FMTV variant, along the same lines, but with the flail at the rear of the vehicle and it being capable to drive like a normal truck. No clue where i saw the video (here? facebook?).

Well, the night before the parade, finally got the Jeep running (bubba'd unfortunately) and then she decided to loose oomph on the way to the parade route. Thankfully had 3 mechanics with me and straightened it all out. Also did some pre-planning and threw in a backup battery, full tool kit...

I thought Portrayal was the company that closed up... or was that a different one?

Maybe, but I doubt it...

The Veteran's Day Parade for Fayetteville and Ft. Bragg, NC will be this Saturday from 0930-1100. a large contingent of active duty troops and units will be in the parade. All Veterans Organizations, VFW, American Legion, Nam Knights, CVMA, etc... will also be in. I will be (hopefully) in...

In Korea, DRMO does it, but hires locals to make the stuff into scrap. Scrap can be sold off.

I'm hoping these are working out well. and I hope the trailer is too. FYSA: the BOH trailer is a non-standard item and parts are not available through the supply system, you will have to contact BOH for specialty stuff. Approx cost of that trailer is $64K ea.

That delivery rate is better than the Patriot reset facility. Awesome work!

Dive it, have fun with it. Parades, Toys for Tots, see about joining a VFW or an Auxiliary, or the American Legion, or Nam Knights or some Veteran's Service Organization. Just enjoy it. Or, ship it down here so I can use it if mine doesn't work for our Vet's day parade!

Welcome from Spring Lake

I still want to know how that exactly happened in the first place.... lol...

That's an awesome looking truck and some great stories on here. I really like the tire combo. Fits very well.

Had a fleet (QTY: 3) of those when I was with 8th Ordnance Company. Most of our Firefighters were tasked out with the Fort Bragg fire department, so we never really had them running around. They were cool looking. Lots of smart capabilities and such that they brought over from flight line and...
