Hope This Helps... Howdy Dave, Here is the info from my M35A2 - VIN - 0539-11647 Registration - 04G-64771 Contract - DAAE-06-70-C-0001 Normally Aspirated Multi-Fuel Spring Seat Air-Shift Transfer Case W/Winch (originally anyway, previous owner kept it) MWO tag indicates it was undercoated in 1983

Doing Some Research... Don't remember where I saw it, but several years ago I saw something about the military procuring a small number of Dodge ambulances, which were not actually prototypes in the normal sense, but were used as models when drawing up the contracts for the M880 series. I am...

Just sent you an IM about a W300 Ambulance for sale on ebay, thought you may want to see it since you indicated you were looking for one in an earlier post.

Red Is Cool!!! As someone who's first truck as a teenager was fire engine red with black trim, I have a certain fondness for the color scheme. The truck Citizensoldier posted does not seem like an unreasonable price at all, just try to find a 1-ton truck with 13K miles for that amount of...

Trail Ride Info... N1265 - BobH is absolutely correct on this, because the event is held on public land controlled jointly by the Army National Guard and the Michigan Dept of Natural Resources, we are required to obtain permission from both agencies. The DNR requires us to obtain an events...

Very Cool Thread... I am a serious fan of the tool haulers, from pioneer tool trailers, to contact maintenance trucks, to shop vans, etc. Especially if they are still used as such or restored to their original configuration by their civi owners. This thread has sure been informative for me as...

Very Cool Stuff... Citizensoldier - I understood you were being amusing, thought I was also, guess something was lost in the translation somewhere.... N1265 - I think the W400 BobH posted is probably the same model as the one you photographed. They both have the Budd wheels and the same angled...

Very Interesting Info... I have one of the later series of pioneer tool trailers and am quite interested in this thread as it is the first time I have seen much posted about them. Sorry, don't have any pictures of mine though. Saw several a few years back in a holding yard at the Battle Creek...

Very Interesting... Citizensoldier - Man you're mean sounding, just be sure to think it through very thoroughly if you are feeling inclined to shoot at me or try to ram my truck, it could be hazardous to one's health to attempt such things. Maybe I should repaint it back to it's original...

It Is Home... Picked up the ambulance today and drove it home, very impressed with it so far though it does need some work before considering it really road, or trail, ready. The engine sounds very good, but is missing on the #1 cylinder, there is a metal on metal sound coming from the front...

D70 Front For Sure... This truck very definitely has the Dana 70 front as it is stamped '70F' on the housing. It is a closed knuckle, drum brake unit. Very interesting to hear many of them had tracta joints, they were supposed to be very strong units, if a bit odd by todays standards. The...

Some Great Responses... Howdy guys, some great responses with a bit to think about. I'll try to answer some of y'alls questions. Bob H. - Yes, it has a 70 front, not sure about the rear, I understand that Dodge used some 60 rears with 70 fronts in this time frame and will have to check that...

Interesting... I can attest to the fact that a lot of non-standard vehicles were purchased by the military for various purposes. I own a REO XM282 five ton 8x8 prototype from the mid-1950s, which is apparently the only one left of three built. I have also seen a similar vintage Ford F100 with...

It Is Ex-Military... It does have data plates and I have seen two other of this series in the past, but they were not owned by collectors and have long since been run into the ground. I believe they may have been a special Air Force purchase, but don't know for sure. After it makes it home, I...

Just purchased a '72 Dodge ambulance and have not picked it up yet. Was curious what y'all may know about this series of vehicle. It is an ex-military rig with a 4 spd manual trans, 205 transfer case, Dana 70F front axle....

Lots Of Pictures... MMMT has a website with several pictures, don't remember the address right now, it will be 'www.mmmt.us' as soon as they can work out the bugs, perhaps a week or so. The Great Lakes MVPA website has some pictures from past events, including the ColorTours, unfortunately...

September 19-24 will be this years Color Tour near Grayling, MI. There will be organized trail rides around some of the tank trails on Camp Grayling's 200,000+ acres, a group cookout on Saturday night and even a quilting bee is being planned by some of the ladies to make quilts for wounded...

Ahh, I See... Sounds like y'all had some fun, never go to the main page, have my link set directly to the forum.

I made a post the other day in the upcoming events section about the MMMT/GLMVPA Camp Grayling Color Tour happening in Sept and it is gone today, what happened?

The Michigan Museum of Military Transport is looking for vehicles to support a display at this event. This is a charitable motorcycle event expecting 1500-2000 participants to help raise money for the National Guard Family Support Fund. Last year they raised over $20,000 to help the family...
