I helped a good buddy move to Bemidji. Also delivered some halftrack parts to Prior Lake and picked up a trailer after a conversation with the Prior Lake P.D. on what I was doing in the parking lot of Midwest Military at midnight. :lol:

M20. We couldn't stop we had the hammer down. 4 guys and two trucks on the way to the land of Babe the Blue Ox.

You guys from Colombus are always welcome. I just cruised thru town last week on the way to Minnesota. Here's some more goodies bring lots of beer.

I remember you. I think you were about the first guy I ever corresponded with on the internet about halftracks. How's Earl?

A couple more. Colleen showed up for sale on ebay a couple of years ago but it was just the door. No kidding the door from Colleen in this picture was on an M2 for sale in Canada. The paint didn't match the rest of the m2. I blew up my dad's photo here and compared it to the ebay photo and all...

Yes Tommy Hunt was the man. I was just a little kid but i remember how nice he was. He really knew his stuff. Even then I knew the place was special.

The legendary Southern Parts storage yard in Memphis. It's all gone now.

How about this lineup?

I'll get the pics sooner or later as I mentioned before it is not easily accessible. Did determine he won't take 10k for it. :)

I wonder how many software programs get triggered every time I type Bomb Truck? Determined this truck has the composite bed, metal sides wood floor. What type trucks are the M27 beds you have seen mounted on, M35's or commercial trucks? I'd think a septic tank installer would like one of these...

Well I have an update. It has the data plate on it and the nomenclature indicates it is an M 27 BOMB TRUCK.:jumpin: One of the trolleys is misisng and the boom has been modified to sit at a 45 degree angle like a tow truck. The guy paid $100 for it a few years ago at a farm auction. :-D Pics...

Oldfart, Nice looking M220 and trailer combo you have there!

Not every old truck needs to be restored and most collectors never get around to restoring all their projects so I don't see not restoring it as any big deal. I'm starting to appreciate nice unrestored trucks more and more anyway. After all one restored cckw or scout car looks pretty much like...

There are sometimes things that make it into the manuals that never make it to production. Case in point is the M3A2 halftrack. Maybe the late war all steel bed was never really produced, or maybe just in such small numbers that none or very few survive.

From the old 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant group I'm guessing. That stuff was rusty beyond belief. I considered some of the stuff but it was too rusty for me to make it worth dragging it even 200 miles. Florida is a heck hole for rust especially within 20 miles of the coast. I go out west now...

Love that popcorn smilie too. It has the winch in back so I'm gonna make an offer, i'll let you know how it turns out. At that point the beer mug smilie will kick in.......hopefully.

The owner told me it was a bomb truck and it has the bomb hoist on it like a gtb only bigger. I'm just not sure yet if the winch is behind the cab like it should be. Maybe it is really one of the wrecker sets since they look very similar to the bomb truck.

I know i was just kidding. I'm not positive it is a real bomb truck. I didn't even know there was a cckw bomb truck until recently.

I'll get some pics up but I can't promise it will save the thread from its own worthlessness. It is an open cab and it came off an AFB out west.

Found one and it is really nice. All there, unrestored no rust. Should run. Any idea of value? The CCKW market seems very very soft these days.
