    ...yep...agree.. First pic is not a standard bracket...home-made depot-installed...? Could also be a foot scrape...LOL....? Agree that last two pics are for a fire extinguisher (#2) inside the veh and (#3) a decon bottle or fire ex. on the fender. Not unusual....just not there on every truck.

    Any issues towing a M116a2 with a Dodge 1/2 ton?

    ....trailer... Unless you have a chance to inspect and check it out....I'd get a trailer. Since the equipment is smaller than a duce....I agree a car trailer should do you fine. Better than taking a chance for even a short 50 mile trip.

    Who says you can't pull a Deuce with a pickup truck

    ...nice score... Yep...w/o the running gear probably weighs about 3K or less. Good job of getting it on the trailer and secured for the trip. Lots of good parts.....esp. the engine/tranny and fuel tank and radiator.....

    New M3A1 Stuart Tank Driver!!!!

    ...not bad... Frankly,the tank is better looking and probably take's less to maintain than the model....LOL. Women are like fighter jets....pleasant to look at,fun to ride...but take a lot of $$$ to maintain. ( From a guy who has been married 42-yrs......to the SAME WOMAN......LOL)

    M35 (and other MV) Roadside Assistance list

    ...important enough... Believe this thread is of such importance that it needs to be 'BTT' (bumped-to-the-top). Hope there is a list coming for each section of the Country... East,South,North and West. That way the list could be made more manageable and easily put into print. I'll print them...
