    Ring Mount & Hard Top

    I to may be interested here. I still have to mount my M66 on my hard top truck.

    M818 price

    I think I know where the confusion is. GL has the wrong description on a truck. The M818 is a fifth wheel tractor/truck. I believe the OP is looking at the shop truck that has the fold up sides. I can't remember the designation. These trucks are not as common as 818's, and usually bring rather...

    cb radio install need some ideas

    I checked it when I put the system together, and I think it was 1.3 or 1.4 pn the SWR. I was hoping the 6" spring would get it down around 1.1.

    cb radio install need some ideas

    I mounted a 102" whip on my stock M1009 off the original bracket. I welded a plate on the bracket where the hole is for the military antenna, then attached the mounting ball to it. I do hit things with it, and it has held up fine. I am rather new to the CB world, so am still learning. I run a...

    Just got M818, bearing and seals questions

    Before replacing your pinion seal, you may want to check to see if your vent is plugged. I have had the same issue on one axle after driving it 13 hrs to get it home. Have a new seal for it, but now it doesn't appear to have leaked since the long drive.

    so I think I want a tank

    All this info gives me a lot to think about. It could also cost me a lot of money in the future ;) Justin, you read my mind on the 20mm. I was wondering if it would be easier to swap a 20mm in to something like that, to make it easier to obtain ammo. At this point this is all just a dream, but...

    so I think I want a tank

    I stand corrected on the cannon. I had 37mm in mind, but I see it was a 76mm. That is even better :D

    so I think I want a tank

    Yeah, I am aware my license doesn't cover DD's. Depending on how they demilled, I may be able to reactivate on a form 1. However, I am wondering if any ever were imported with live guns that could just be transferred on a form 4. It's more of a standpoint of originality then really wanting to...

    so I think I want a tank

    That is the model I was looking for. How hard is it to maintain and get parts for? What did they do to demill the main gun? Any problem areas I should know about if I were to buy one? 50mph just looks like an insane ride in it :D Your video just made it harder for me not to want one.

    M66 ring and actual useage question

    I can say a friend of mine bought a M813A1 that had signs of a previous ring mount, including a couple 50 bmg cases floating around the cab. His truck didn't have the reinforcement plate, and his cab shows no sign of stress. I would be curious to hear from someone who has run a F/A Mah Deuce for...

    so I think I want a tank

    Saw a small British tank a while back, don't recall model, that was 8' wide, weight was about 7 tons. That would be more my style I believe. I am a class 2 manufacture, know about NFA stuff, but have never got in to destructive devices, so am unfamiliar with having a live gun on the tank.

    so I think I want a tank

    I have really been thinking that some day I may take the plunge and buy a tank at some point. So I have some questions. First off I can't afford any of the ones that cost as much or more then my house. I see there are a number of options in the 70k and below range. Not saying I can afford that...

    M66 ring and actual useage question

    As far as I know the M66 was made for that set up, and ofcourse they were full auto and mounted on Deuces as well as 5 tons with the same cabs. Why would you think it wouldn't work? I do know the 909 series truck cabs are not approved for use with the M66 mount. I am guessing the cabs are not as...

    Anyone haul (2) M101A3 on an 18' car trailer before

    Put tounges facing rear with jack up, tires on front trailer as far forward as possible, then rear one. You will be fine. I have done it twice now with M101's. Do take tarps off if they have them.

    John Basilone parade needs 2 or more cargo trucks to carry Marine Vets !!!

    I have a wedding to attend, or else I could probably run up there with one or more trucks.

    Halftrack first outing

    Very nice! I to would love to have a half track. It would look great on the trailer behind the M818, but I don't have the funds for one yet. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
