Under Former MV it is still a truck and weight classifications apply. For a 5-ton you don't need an actual commercial license, but still need a Class A. That has basically the same requirements to get as a CDL, but you can't haul anything for hire (and that means any kind of fee or benefit)...

Since links to pictures tend to die on these posts, here are the pictures so we don't get the dreaded "item not found" later. :wink: And in the poster's defense, someone else hauled the truck, he nabbed it short of the scrapper and had it dropped at his place! Cheers

Armadillo, when you post scroll down to "Additional Options", then look for "Attach Files" and click the "Manage Attachments" button. That brings up a separate "Manage Attachments"screen, hit the first "Browse" button, select the photo from your files (as far as I know, you have to have it...

A quick clarification for you- 383 refers to the green/brown/black camo scheme itself. The FS codes for the actual colours are Green 34094, Brown 30051, and Black 37030 (though any good flat black will do). Likewise, 686 refers to the tan camo, the actual colour is Tan 33446. If you buy your...

Interesting, one of mine indicates precisely the same way. Just started doing it recently. It was quite accurate before that. Cheers

Welcome aboard. Lots of good neighbours up near you. Cheers

Welcome aboard. Saw one of those in OD close to 30 years ago down in Corpus Christi. I was tickled at the time because I knew what it was (thanks to Vanderveen's Military Vehicles Directory, which I studied religiously as a youngster). Hope to see yours in person soon. Cheers

$15k sounds like about 50% more than a nice gas Mog should be worth. The Swiss ones are usually in better shape than other users because their maintenance was meticulous, they don't salt their roads there in winter, and most of the vehicles were stored inside during their service life. That...

The allowable picture size has always been there. There are lots of ways to shrink pictures, but I am not computer savvy to list more than the one I use. I open them in Paint and in the 'Image' toolbar there is a 'stretch/skew' option. You can just enter the appropriate percentages in...

If you are looking for a paper manual, try Milman61 on ebay. He had them recently, and I have had very good experiences buying from him. Cheers

To expand on this- The Mack powered trucks and their kin, such as M52/M54 etc came with the air filter on the right front fender and they have a flat grill. The M818 and its kin, powered by the NHC-250 have the air filter on the left fender, and have a contoured grill. The hood is visibly...

Welcome aboard. The sliding section in the door windows is interesting, I have not seen those before. Did you add those, or did it come like that? I see you also have one of the tarps with a rear curtain, very nice! Cheers

Auction is over, so here are a couple of pictures. Came from the GL site, not the best for detail, but worth looking at. It was an Air Force truck. Cheers .

BTR-152...:drool::drool::drool::drool: (Accompanied by that Homer gurgling noise...) And a BTR-40... (which I drooled on in person in Kansas, sorry!). I am now officially jealous of you! Cheers

Okay, I am thinking that pic #1 is the fellow in the attached picture. It was listed as a V600 with 105mm gun on whatever site I pilfered it from at some point in the past. (Borrowed? Yes that sounds better). Cheers .

Agreed. From my preliminary "rust patch matching" technique (hey, it works on whales, why not MV's??:-D), they do appear to be the same one. When I get home from work I will go through the rest of my pictures and see if I have one that is closer to the same angle to compare. Cheers

I seem to have missed this thread the first time around. For a kid, getting a warning, and understanding the warning are two different things! He thought he was far enough away from a starting truck, didn't realize it was going to spew enough black mist to choke an elephant. And no, that...

And I still bow respectfully in your general direction for identifying that 8x8 so quickly! Justin, rest assured the new owner will do a splendid job fixing it up, he is talented at such things. Cheers

If I understand it correctly, it is a Cadillac Gage V-600 that was a prototype for the Marine LAV program (won by the LAV-25 et al). I don't really know the difference between a V-300 and V-600, they look very similar. Maybe B3.3T can enlighten us there? It is in Texas now, awaiting...
