I had a tan M35A2 that was painted for that conflict, although I have no way of knowing if it actually made it over there or was just painted in preparation. It was a seriously rushed paint job, though, so it could have been used over there.
There were M44 series vehicles used in the first Gulf War. My computer crashed so I lost many of my saved pictures, but I had several pictures of deuces from that conflict. I even had one of an M44 fire truck pulling a heavy trailer. As I recall, that naturally aspirated truck was putting out...
I like your installation. Do you have to turn the pintle hitch horizontally to use the hitch, or is it not in the way? It is tough to see from the pic. Thanks!
There are probably various set ups since they made so many of these trucks, were used for years, and could have been re-keyed. But, in my experience with a dozen or so CUCVs, they usually have one key for both the door and ignition, and the key was rounded as you describe. I don't know if you...
I am unsure what full market value means. People bid on trucks. They bid against each other and drive prices up. That is not full market value. An off-road use only HMMWV is a big ATV and people should bid as such. But, many people have bid figuring they will convert their off-road use only...
You didn't read about any winches on M934 vehicles because none had winches! With that said, some of the LWB cargos had them...the M928 specifically. You could definitely mount a winch. I would recommend you stick with the "stock" M939 winch kit because it should mount up somewhat easily.
I opened this thread thinking "man, they really needed to talk with Cevon about his Huey, but, unfortunately, he's gone." Then, I realized that this WAS Cevon's thread and someone responded to it. He was a good guy and is missed. RIP, Cevon. For those who did not know him well, he would tell...
If anything, the older trucks will generally tend to be more simple to maintain. I think an M818 is a fine truck for a first. But, I would also suggest you look at smaller trucks unless you have your heart set on a big truck. M151A2s are really nice, although they are not as impressive as a 5...
I hope it works out with OVL. I am curious to hear if OVL will sell parts to civvies. My experience with similar things is that these companies won't. Many agree to sell only to the military or military contractors. There are CARC paint distributors, for example...their name escapes me right...
I should have clarified that CUCVFAN has the newer style crank up landing leg with handle...not the older fold down variety. I got one from him a while back and I am very happy.
