Rory your boys did he same things we did in Nam. Slept in our Vs, played cards on the insides when we could. And took care of our vehicles. The driver was in charge unless we had a NCO with us. And the driver was the radio man. Our rear gunners found they didn't like gun mounts they just...

A wet boot slipping off the clutch pedal with any rev. will snap an axle Those were duce axles weren't made for Vs thats why they went to 5ton axles.

Great looking Marine Would have made a better looking GI No only kidding One thing to reminded him about don't volunteer until you know the job at hand.

Guys Just a question do your Vs have that weak duce and a half rear end?? If they do and I an sure yous know this the axle like to brake. Also, the V is one of the most fun vehicles to drive. A little OJT goes a long way. We tried to stay out of 1st, gear and 4wheel drive, becasuse...

Boys That looks like way to much fun. I remember when we tried to drive all closed up. the look out ports were so yellow you couldn't see out of them. And, as far a shifting goes I think they have a mind of there own sometimes. But, man that looks great . More you play with it the...

Rory . With each picture it looks better and better. And Yes leave it a little dusty and drity we washed ours about once a month. Our when they wanted us to do something we didn't want to do. You can't belive how long you can make that job last. Oh!! Wait you just did a 6 month build in...

Nessie looks great. Can't say that about the rest of your crew, but one good looking kid.

TRUST ME AFTER YOU HIT YOU HEAD A COUPLE OF TIMES YOU WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING. pLUS IT ONLY HURTS A LITTLE.

First it looks great. And if your paint job and paint are half as good as what came on them in the 60s it will hold it well. We repainted a couple of our Vs with brushs out in the open and the wind blowing sand all over it. The painted dried with in minutes as we were in the sun and it was...

B3.3t Sorry to ask is that your V on a different site for sale

:jumpin:Can't wait for the video. :driver: Just think you could have been months ago if you weren't always replying to us wanting yo see pictures and videos. Looks great.

As long as you ar happy thats all that matters. I would have been Army green. It looks great . Hope you keep posting pictures and would like to see a video if you can when you get it on the road

Rory I have no picture wasn't thinking 40yrs down the road. But, I will see if I can get some from a buddy of mine. On picture 9 that were the radio was on ours, and we carried no extra gas, because some one would take it can and all. We had a RVN V hit one of ours it opened the gas tank on...

We weren't that smart. A couple of more names Iron Butterfly, El Toro and Wonder Woman. Some had nose art some just had the name . Also, no one liked the ride in the rear hatch. We had guys that like to set on the out side on the pass. side hatch with no flack jacket or steel pot on...

Should be we couldn't get parts the right way so we did what needed to keep our vehicles on the road you didn't want to miss a convoy and have to face the Lt. as to why your ride was down.

Get good sunglasses you will need them. The rear end is a weak area we change about 1 a month sometimes more. The trans have a mind of there own at time and the brakes a touchey. But a little bit af armour is better than no armour. We had the floors full of ammo, c-ration boxies, sleeping...

Rory By 70-71 the Vs had been put throw a lot. With crew changing and most guys not knowing how to take care of them. All of our training was OJT with guys place you were taking. We could do all three jobs drive- radio orp., m73 gunner, rear hatch m60 gunner plus we took care of our Vs our...

8)[thumbzup] I was with the 630th, MP co Convoy Plt. Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam in 1970 and 71 and the hatchs leaked then. Also, a lot of the stuff you are putting in we didn't have becasue it was found not to be needed. But, it is great to see another one of the fine old ladies being saved...
