    Want to buy T-55, any for sale in USA?

    Thanks for all the replies,please PM me with details about ones you would discuss selling, I have seen David Wangs and it is a great tank but 85k is a little high, and thanks Stan but we can't use a tank from Canada, no easy way to temporarily import for the production. Look forward to talking...

    My M1 Abrams/Chieftain Mk5 is home!

    I have had the privilege of seeing those three tanks at Army Trucks Inc. They are all very well done conversions, a lot of heavy steel and hand made parts. The studio that commissioned them spared little expense in their construction. Congratulations Doc!

    Travails of moving Armor #2... Leopard 1 and Swiss Pz61 are home! WARNING LONG!

    Awesome write up Dave! It should be a cautionary tale to anyone considering a tank purchase, often the the cheapest part is buying the tank! People don't realize the equipment and expense it takes to move these vehicles around, especially when they won't run, which can be a lot of the time! I...

    I will have a look through my GAA stuff and see what I can find for you, thanks for the tip on the tires! Of course the CBP won't let us bring any armor in for the Arlington Air show, I have the two Sherman restoration projects sitting north of Bellingham but neither will be making any moves...

    1100x20 tires on an M211?

    Ok guys, can you put the taller 1100X20's on M211 rims and run them dual? Would that not increase the over all gear ratio a touch and give you a little more highway speed? Are the M211 and M135 rims different or just reversed like on a modern highway tractor? On my Pete I just carry one spare...
