    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    Don't sound surprised at 0200 when you answer the phone next time they have a SWAT call and want you to haul a squad of them in the back.

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    I saw quite a variety of both tunes and radio traffic after doing a search on the computer. I just watched (again) "Good Morning Vietnam" the other day and thought about getting a soundtrack or Adrian and his tunes to blast out of a loudspeaker when in a parade. I'll never find now probably, I...

    Same reason I haven't been brave enough to turn mine on.....be just my luck to fry a "working radio" that I'll never be able to get fixed.

    Looks pretty sweet, beyond just nice.

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    A rail gun would be a nice touch to be sure. I'm impressed with what they can do; but I've always wanted to have a flamethrower to hang in the back to go along with my 3.5" bazooka.

    To steal a little bit of jeffhuey's thunder.....this is looking probably lots better than it should / would have under the conditions of the day. You Sir need a time machine, go back to "the day" and get a gov't contract designing these things and get rich. Yours is looking better than anything...

    I found this while checking out other pics from Vietnam.

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    Looking good! "If" I was PFC Schmuckatelli riding in the back on a .50 or had me one of them spiffy jump seats to ride on when not looking around for bad guys in the land of live pop-up targets, I'd have a little warmer fuzzier feeling if that big opening in the back had something in it to slow...

    What is going into the space between the outer and inner bulkhead? Sandbags? Are you leaving the rear end open like in the mockup or putting in something like a halftrack rear hatch?

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    I'm liking it! For my $.02 Yankee dollars' worth, in the artillery we named our howitzers, the name was picked by the gun section chief, approved by the battery Gunny and IstSgt., pilots named their planes, tankers name their tanks, even Marine gun crews on the big grey ships of WW2 named their...

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    We had inter We had internal comm. on our M107 and M110 self-propelled howitzers, it usually didn't work. The section chief would usually ride on the forward hull near the driver to give him instructions. When we got M109 SP's, the comm. worked "sometimes" but the section chief rode up high on...

    Don't completely ignore Mad Maxx, a flamethrower is a great accessory item......a bazooka is also a nice touch.

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    Oh yeah! It's a good thing we aren't neighbors, I'd be over with a folding chair, coffee and a cigar making a pest out of myself. I like that idea of armor up towards the front end using the stake pockets. I was thinking if you made it "modular" somehow, you could switch back and forth as...

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    Great thread here guys! I gotta chime again.....as you and I have chatted some already.....it's your truck, you can set it up the way you want and it will still be right. Unless you are going full bore and making an exact replica truck (and you are not), it won't be wrong. Currently you have...

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    If you find that manual, I'd like to see it also. I don't think there is one. We had gun trucks in Iraq and other than as issued any others were made on site usually as per whatever you could scrounge. In the early days of the ground war, we still had soft doors and tops on Hummers, as time went...

    U.S.M.C gun trucks?

    This just reminded me of an ad I saw recently from a guy selling a quad .50 mount, I believe his asking price was @ 35 g's for the mount, add 20 g's more if you wanted the replica .50's........yikes !!
