I believe he means this: A lot of us here in the states are older and served in the US military during the years of the Cold War, and spent most of their time training with our weapons to use AGAINST Soviet-made vehicles and other objects, since it was thought to be inevitable that our forces...

Once again I am planning an epic trip to Coleman's Surplus with joediveguy next week (7/9 to 7/13 sometime). It's not a vehicle salvage yard, though there are a few hulks around and piles of trailers, and TONS and TONS of scrap with neat parts mixed in that might be of use to you guys. Was...

antennaclimber - that's a sharp-looking truck interior you have now! And the outside looks great too! rumplecat - very low-tech redneck, but it works as well as being useful for its original purpose...

I was told that, I was also told the water would get in and fill up the tubes, and during the winter it would freeze and start the process of splitting the tubes open. I've seen some on the trucks that looked like they were split apart from the inside, and this explanation is the only one that...

In the 1970s we used MERDC camo which at times had 4 colors in it - light green, forest green, sand and black. I have never heard of 7-color camo.

Makes sense. However, back in the day (1950s or 1960s) the arty crew got in the BACK of the truck and rode on the troop seats. Guess troop seats in the cargo area is a dying concept....

Wow, cool truck! What's that in pic #3, an extended crew cab? I see four doors but a LOT of space between them. Like crossing a military truck and a limo.

How many M715s are there? Less every year. I guess that's the easy answer.

Those look like the ones being fabbed up by buckstop.biz on their site. Very beefy looking....

Looking for beer. If anyone wants to make donations to the MadDawg Alcoholism Trust Fund, drop your donations off at my spot.

That's a nice truck you got there, even if it's an amalgamation of parts from two trucks. I'd snag one of those winch bumpers, look very beefy and probably will work well for you....

If I had the money, and I don't, I'd make a round trip of the United States just to see places like that. Yellowstone AND Grand Teton? Wow, that's some great camping and scenic views there!

Driving my deuce BY ITSELF through WV on I-64/77 was fine. No problems in fifth gear, maybe touching the brakes once or twice. When towing the M-37 behind the deuce, or a load like a heavy trailer or a lot of cargo in the back, I highly recommend downshifting into fourth gear for the trip...

Be safe. That is a load and a half - I had trouble keeping my deuce with a M37 in tow in control coming down some of the big mountains on I-64 in WV. The M37 was pushing me down the hill and by the time I hit the bottom, my brakes smelled bad. Like I said, be safe.

I've used a long piece of aluminum flashing around the circumference of the wheel to mask off the tire, worked well...

Check air filter first - sometimes that makes it smoke like a battleship....

Have to go to Harrisburg, PA this Thursday and Saturday, that's near 17111. What needs picked up? I might be able to help....

No, but next time I go up there I'll snap a couple pics. The antennas were large setups, used in semi-permanent installations.

Colemans had a pile of M101 trailers that were set up by the Army as antenna trailers for radio trucks. They had the gas can racks mounted inside at the front end of the trailer.

Okay, that's fair. I hereby criticize the owners taste! [thumbzup]
