Just got home from crewing the Ace of Spades for about 8-9 hundred miles, the Vic-1 worked perfectly---2 boxes in the cab and 4 more in the rear, over the years it seems to be the regular headsets and a hand mic that works best---we can watch the sides and hear everyone just fine at hiway...
Why not a gun truck from the Iraq period ?----none around I know of, and in the begining there were all sorts of styles and it would fit in with any got together. Just a thought-----------------------Driver
I think 09:00 hrs was mentioned in the plans but I wouldn't bet on that------I would think that there will be people coming and going all day-------------Driver
Leaving early in the morning for Rogersville TN. Saturday I'll hook up with some old Friends and that Ace truck, Sunday we'll head for Campbellsville KY. for a couple days and then on to the Gathering in Louisville KY, 11 days with old Friends and gun trucks, that and a live fire at Knob Creek I...
Well----you know those darn gun truckers-----they just kinda do as they please----in the itinerary the girls say <Knob Creek 9 AM> but when they ain't lookin we'll do as we want, **** we may stop for steak en eggs on the way---ya know?--------then if things are busy we'll probably stay a...
Well the girls say in the activities that we kick out at 9 AM but I bet that don't happen, and the return will just depend on what going on----Sorry PB hope that helps---you'll have plenty of time to go deaf-------Driver
I'd almost bet that the Mr. Nice pictured in the past post was picked up out of property disposal and used by that outfit-----when units began to stand down a unit no longer had to build a gun truck they could go pick a box up at PDO, James has 20 or 21 3/4 ton gun trucks listed in his...
Sammy and Richard Bowman both said it was a Cat seat and as you can see from the photo from ZOUT there is no doubt, Ron will be out looking for one come first thing Monday------------------Thanks to all for your help, he has the top but yet has to fold it just right, but this seat will now make...
I think I found were the seat may have come from----Anybody know about the seats in a Cat scraper?-----I think there is a good chance it came out of a Cat 631 from the late 60s---Any heavy equipment guys out there?----------Driver
Sammy says about 2-2 1/2 hours to Crossville, two lane blacktop,------she corners flat and tracks straight-----man---I can't wait----Driver (hopefully)
3/4 ton Wild Honey----if ya look real close you'll see something else laying there with that M-79-----of the trucks I was on I can't remember any formal tie down, clip in, or kind of holder for anything we carried, most everything had a strap or something to hang it with, M16s on the double...
Start with the Outlaw II and I'll look around, hard to tell just what it is holding the M-79 but it is a shot of the inside of the truck--------- Hummmm a .50 ammo can with spent brass-----Driver
Many miles crewing Untouchable and Ace of Spades statesside and we have never pulled in, Of all the stations we've passed only once did a vehicle come out and look like it was coming after us, but it turned around and went back before ever reaching our truck. Driver
