    M151A2 in country

    Those guys are from the 82nd Airborne, they were attached to the 1st Cav. The reason I know that is; when I left nam and went back to the 82nd Airborne, I ran into a trooper wearing a bonnie hat with a Cav patch on it. When I asked who he was with in the Cav, he stated they were assigned to the...

    M151's still out there? Look

    David, Nice looking A1, very unusual later style antenna base mounted on the side like that. The trees would have torn that off the mount if our's were like that. Now I see why, you don't have the long angle piece that would extend the mount above the canvas. You can tie down the antenna...

    M151's still out there? Look

    You know the hardest thing I had to find? The OD base ball cap with the flat bill. It now sports the jump wings and parachute oval of the 2/504 for display. We had a game we played if one remembers how the tactical vehicles werel parked between the Battalions. If someone left the...

    M151's still out there? Look

    The M151 series jeep are not the best on or off road suited vehicles. The first off road vehicle I ever drove was the 151A1 and that is what happens when you enter the military as an E1. One of the first duties that happen to a private is make him a driver. I personally know guys that flipped...

    m113

    Many years ago I worked for an outfit called IRBY Construction out of Jackson, MS. They put up electric power towers. They had many of those "Wood Tigers" which I thought were Sherman Tank chassis, but could have been M5's. They were just cut hulls with an operators seat, engine and a big...

    Here is a D7E, 75E series, the 48A is a civilian version, the military used the D7E 75E serial number machines, there are a number of them in private hands. The difference is cowling, and blade operating controls are slightly different. The 75E's had provisions for a gunners seat and rifle...

    M151 TM wanted

    Chuck, That would be great if you have them. I have not seen them since active duty days early 70s, if I remember right about that time frame of late 71 they changed to PMCS and dropped ESC for checking out serviceability of equipment. Thanks!
