Here are a few more vehicle pics from AFD at Ft. Lewis. Some of us were doing our first Desert Storm display in memory of the 20th Anniversary. You will also see some WW2 vehicles courtesy of Friends of Willie and Joe, and a few M Series vehicles courtesy of the Pacific NW Vehicle Club.

Hope everyone had a good time. I left my MB at home as was doing the desert storm display...

We will have to talk about the truck painting. Thank you for the offer. Was originly thinking about going back to Vietnam green, but now am not so sure. Maybe the camo will stay with the truck. I did find that the 214th Avn that is on the bumper was a helicopter unit at Ft. Lewis in the mid 80's.

 

[srodocker]

hrm. maybe a gun truck that would be sweet if you vietnam era. thats why everyone needs more trucks!

We have talked about making some faux armor with some painted plywood. and I could take the pedestal mount out of the M715 and I had an offer on another one. We could make a tribute truck. But let me take care of the mechanicals first.
