The guntruck appears to be Pandimonium.

3 or 4 guntrucks per company was about normal.

Hey Smoke, it's been a long time since I got on here but I finally found a pic of the M-60 mounts. Looks like they were just the top of an infantry tri-pod welded to the top of the bed. Hope your truck is coming along OK.

Well, it looks great except you've got the Company wrong. It should be 64t instead of 54t.

Great book. A lot of trucks I'd never heard of before.

Smoke, as best my memory can recall and looking at my pics I would say 34094 is probably as close as any of them. The box was slightly lighter green, possibly just a mix of several cans laying around the motor pool.

All of the trucks I was familiar with had the full seating in the cab. 3 man crew could all fit in there during monsoon if you were in an area that we considered safe.

Ammo cans. Just about any weaponry that was military issue in the previous 30 or so years would show up on one truck or another. Thompsons, M-3 grease gun, LAW, 1911 45, 38 revolver, M-79, M-16s and 60s. A couple of stretchers, ponchos, spare M-2 barrels. Couple of C-ration cases busted open and...

Also, it is HIGHLY corrosive on steel and especially copper.

Randy, think you'll have it ready for Fort Lee?:D

Not a fan of bobbers, but this thing is NICE. Really impressed with the heavy duty construction of everything.

Thanks Driver, that first pic was taken after the rollover. As you can see, all that's left is the armored windshield. I didn't even remember the name being painted on the front.

As Driver said, if you can imagine it, someone had it. We had a couple of Laws on the Mighty Minny at one time. Never needed them and finally fired them at the range just for the heck of it. Not saying noone had them but I personally never a Thompson on a truck. The ARVNs had some but could...
