That is one sweet truck! :drool: Cheers

Warthog has it figured out, we need research no further! We'll bring them to Temple. :) Generator trailer was actually my first thought, but my faith in that thought has become shaky. Cheers

They all looked pretty complete, all had rear outriggers, etc. Two had tarped area, two did not. Three had brackets on top of the wheel wells for the outriggers, one had them flipped up on the back and no wheel well brackets (you can just see it at the far right of the attached picture). I'm...

Looks like the Hawk missile battery ICC trailer. AN/MSQ-110. Cheers

As stated above, the jerrycan holder is threaded. But they are not all the same! One of my 1009's took SAE bolts, the other is metric. THAT was annoying at the time. I'll look and see if I wrote down the sizes somewhere. A side note- one of my 1009's has one metric bolt and one SAE bolt on...

Ah, I didn't realize those two were up (again for #1 in the ad). Price doesn't seem bad if they are in as good a shape as advertised. They need some accessories inside, but not difficult to find stuff. Cheers

Stand by for some frustration too. One was found a couple of years ago, ex-police 1033 program. Despite diligent efforts, the government said absolutely no on it being sold to collectors, or even going to a museum. It went into a smelter, hens-teeth-rare wheels and all. Enough to make a grown...

You do a lot of searching on the internet and military vehicle magazines, talk to people in the MV collecting field, follow up on every lead, and be persistent. The process can take years. Luck plays a big part in it, unfortunately. There are perhaps twenty V100's known to be in private...

Agreed! Cheers

Looking good! Charlie wants to know where that swanky passenger seat was last year..... :) Cheers

Pawnshop and I, not being up to date on the thread, intended to come visit y'all after the tank parade. We were surprised when you lined up and left! Maybe next time. We did get to visit with Barrman and Colton, which is always good. Cheers

70deuce, I love that M971! Cheers

Since my last post I have added a military surplus civilian-type 35' lowboy, an M129A4, and a ADC-TSS-5. The TSS is heavy, and it does slow the truck down quite a bit. On the flats I could probably get it above 55mph, but see no reason to try. On shallow to moderate hills on the interstate...

I'm something of a traditionalist when it comes to paint, but that looks really cool. Looking forward to seeing the whole truck when its finished. Cheers

One of my M931s has a smurf blue cover too. Were they installed that way, or did all the yellow fade out of someones green? Cheers

Yes, I have one on 33x10.50 and one on 33x12.50, neither lifted. No problems with rubbing at all with the 10.50's. When the 12.50's wear out, they will be replaced with 10.50's, they look stock, but a tad manlier. There are several threads on this, with lots of pictures. Cheers

Before anyone freaks out, his link is to a CLOSED auction! That is a Swiss truck, looks like a pretty complete and original. Bed tarp is not original, of course. Ask for the maintenance records that came with most Swiss 404's to see if the odometer is correct. Odometers on military vehicles...

Oh, and don't expect to go anywhere fast. They will do 60mph on the level if you push them, but they really don't like it. You will break things if you push the speed. They are happiest around 45-50mph. At that speed, they will run all day, even in Texas. Cheers

Basically, what was said above. I have owned a Swiss 404 since around 2000, the only things I have replaced were rubber products, fluids, and the wood in the bed is starting to go soft. Other than that, it has been extremely reliable. Price depends on condition and where its from, the Swiss...

Their first attempt did look something like that. Its amazing the jump they made from that first prototype to the V100. That thing is just plain well designed, with almost every part accessible. Except the **** pump for the winch, you have to lift the engine up to put that on or off, it...
