I normally hang out on the Armor forum but the weather finally turned hot thought I'd better get the Fire Truck out of the barn. This M135 was modified by some pretty talanted millwrights. Was a first out engine in the 60's and 70's retired as a Brush Rig. I bought it sealed bid for a really...

When I was over Germany in the seventies I got some shots of fenced compounds of all kinds of armor waiting to be drug out onto the range. Most of them would have started up with a little work.:driver: Don G
