Hi Guys,
Many of you have been asking me (for 4-5 years!) to let it be known when my book on Vietnam Gun Trucks is available. Well, I am pleased to say that time is NOW, the Gun Truck books have arrived!

Primarily in color, several never previously published photos of Deuces, 5-tons, Dodges and M151 in Vietnam, and as several suggested, considerable background information on the development of the basic trucks. The book is 120 pages.

In addition to the Transportation gun trucks, also covered are the fearsome but often overlook gun trucks fielded with the Air Defense Artillery units (which were the original Vietnam gun trucks.

Best,
David Doyle

PS: Still working on the 2 1/2-ton book, which is now over 1000 pages (for a frame of reference, my Dodge book that was released last July is 1100+ pages).

Yes, it was painful writing books like my "Dodge" and "Big Mack" book that came out last year and my "Dragon Wagon Part 2" which covers the M123-series (and will be released later this year), when I've not been able to drive mine in years! But Monday will see some much needed wrench time (needed by me and the trucks!).

Best,
David

Hi John,
Good to hear from you! If you click on the link below my signature line, it takes you to my website. There, you can click on the cover of the book you are interested in, and it takes you to a purchase page. Across the top of the site are headings for the various categories of books (although the Gun Truck book is on the main page). Unfortunately, the shopping cart function of the site is not yet working, (but the individual "buy it now" tabs are) - so if you buy more than one book you are automatically overcharged on shipping ($6.10 per book rather than $9.75 combined shipping). I am handling this by issuing same-day refunds for the amount of overcharge.

Or you can email me a wish list and I'll send a PayPal invoice.

To answer an email I got from another SS member - the M125 is covered in my "Big Mack" book, and the M123-series (and XM746) is in my soon-to-be published Dragon Wagon Part 2 book.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
David

David, I bought your Dodge books a few months ago (I have a WC52 and a M37) and thoroughly enjoyed them. I ordered your Gun Truck book two days ago and if it is half as good as the Dodge books it will be great. I look forward to reading it. During your research, did you come across a M35 truck by the name Celestial Death, assigned to the 4th ID? I am interested in any info/pictures you might have or if it is already in the book.
Best regards,
