Finally got the correct platform to build the new Proud American Guntruck thanks to AMG on this site...M54 rather than the 813.
She is taking shape much sooned than I dared to even hope...then again we are NOT patient kinds of folks...

Here's a few pics of the progress...er...as usual, your's truly forgot to take "before pics"!!

Lookin good PB...................I wish it were me turning that mack into a GT. I thought for sure it was going to but my return to vermont killed that. Glad you got it and still her destiny to preserve history.

Sorry Jeff...but when you've (which you have) met fellers like Calvin, Sammy, the LT, RED and the others...ya just gotta show some of their spirit while they are here. AMG gave us the chance and we took it.
Heck...there must be another M54 MACK somewhere in this great nation??
She will be at PF this year and we will be Proud of the PROUD!!!

Dont be sorry pb, If I had not moved in sept, you never would have gotten that truck. brandon and I had discussed that truck back in aug. You just dragged your feet playing with those silly 800 series and now you have finally seen the light!!! Dont worry about me, I got a M54A2 waiting for me next month and I have had that for 6 yrs now.

Well Larry..(dang...feels like I'm talking to myself!!)!!!

As you know I was a Light Infantry soldier...not in Vietnam but late in the war era. When I was walking mile after mile and couldnt feel me feet anymore and a deuce or 5ton passed...I would shout some non complimentary words as they passed.

Then I met Ugly, then Sammy, Calvin, Red, you and the others and saw what it took to keep those trucks rolling and the spirit and bravery of those who watched over the convoys -Guntruckers - while those truckers got much needed supplies to the front at great personal risk.

Yes...we will keep the Guntruckers and Transportation history alive...or do our small part.

But as far as thanks go....that's to you and the guys for what you've already done.
