Hey Matt, we had a good time Gus and Rob from the club came over to help. We moved 3 trucks at a time.
FreightTrain, Uhmmmm... I've got a good tire guy. We didn't move all the trucks in the picture, The pipeline truck dosen't have brakes yet. the M109A3 stayed as well. The XM813 made the trip...
Had to move some of the trucks around today. We convoyed 6 of them to a new location this evening. Had a great time.
The M54A1C got a flat tire on the way. It happenned at about 45 mph. It was the front rear axle, driver side outer tire. Truck just started shaking and bouncing, big time. I was...
Hi Al, I live in Avondale which is northwest of Florence by about 70 or so miles. Thanks for your comments on mine as well. Mine was completely rebuilt in Luxembourg and then returned to the states and sent to DRMO, then GL. Even the trailer was rebuilt, bearings, brakes, everythang. All of my...
Aboonski, really enjoyed your video.
I really like these units, and hope that more folks that have these will post their photos as well.
Here's my 1968 ENG-3 below.
Thanks for the comments.
Yes Pawnshop, the dropside does incorporate the new "high-speed-low-drag crew cover". It seems to engage automatically at aprox 70 mph.
I'm glad the automatic hood release didn't engage, the transport driver did not secure the hood latches as instructed prior to...
Redstone Deuces Arrive at Phoenix Proving Grounds
Two of the redstone deuces arrived recently. They were sent directly to the Phoenix Proving Grounds for evaluation. The last 4 photos show professional deuce test driver Gus Buzinski putting one through its paces. The trucks proved to be very...
I've put these photos up in the past so excuse the redundancy.
Here's my M52A2 w/w with a dump bed on the back. The tail gate is a drop side / 5 Ton tailgate.
VT, I only sell the 2.5 and 5 ton parts. I'm not familiar with the parts for the other MV's. The information I gave in my above post was specific to 2.5 and 5 ton parts only. But, to help a fellow SS, I'll speak with S&S on Tuesday and ask about where the M151 Cylinders are coming from and pass...
Ok, if that's the case, I'll take the lead on this for you. At the very least we'll get you another Master Cylinder. I see you've PM'd me with your number, I'll call you tomorrow to start to work out the details. It shouldn't have failed this quick. As I said in the earlier post this will be the...
I believe the blue one you saw in Panama is a Duece Tipper (Dump Truck). Very interesting story. Did you have to get approval from the State Dept. to export it out of the country?
More pics please!!
New Star is not the manufacturer. They are a distributor. They source the parts from many manufacturers, including gov surplus in some cases. Most of the brake parts come from a US manufacturer, the same one that supplies the US Military. Some of their parts come from Korea and some from other...
Ya, it's a killer deal. It was on the side of the road with a "For Sale" sign on it. Came from the AZNG, then went to the Gila River Indian Community. Pics in a couple weeks.
