Motion Pictures A Tribute to WWII Vehicles...

I've been meaning to "Pay Tribute" to one of the Most successful specifically designed Wartime vehicles ever built... "Jeep"...!

"WARNING" your body will violently and unexpectantly flinch in pain watching this film...!

I use mine for "Hunting Lions"...!

cool video..that was the back bone of the army in ww2

 

How 'bout this one? Its a WW11 truck built completely out of German And Japanese parts...Seems fitting somehow...

 

Here is my friend Army Sgt. C. Edwards salute to the military.
His '55 Chevy pick-up.
Also a M38 A 1 and a M151 Jeep

 

Here's a few from Le Mans cl***ic this year, they were used to move drivers between racetrack and paddocks.

 

the m151a1/m151a2 was two of the best jeeps ever made I have had them up to the tops of the fenders in water crossings and just kept going, replaced by that abortion called a hummer. right up there with replaceing the 113 for the bradly fighting veh ? its a poor rip off of the brdm.

 

I wish I could get my hands on a Weasel

 

You'll go blind.....

 

heres a pic of my GPW, I still need to do some touch up work and paint the stars etc. My Granpa bought this here in the states in 69 before he went back overseas. it's been in the family ever since.

looked like most of those were fords, at least the ones I could see the headlight's on. very cool video, it's amazing that some of those p***engers didn't fly out on the jumps and bumps!

Shore nuf! who doesn't love a WWII rpu? I mean,come on who's gonna fight
ya for a parking spot?


Of course these and there big brother 6x6 "ducks" are cool too.


And just to round things out...

 

This past September I went for a B17 ride at the Yankee Air Museum housed at the Willow Run Airport . They have a couple WWII vehicles in process of restoration.

This delivery type truck was used around the airport, how cool is it?!









There was also this pick up that had been used by the army. It is all blasted, primered and ready for ***embly.

Here is my attempt at creating a korean war era base truck.





I've always wanted a WWII jeep but beeing 6'-8" there is no way I would be able to drive it.

I have been looking for a half track to restore...not sure I f i will every find one though.

 

I love WWII Jeeps.
I wish I could find one I could afford.

there are several usually listed FS in the Military Vehicle magazine

 

For quite a while... 60's-80's couldn't help but trip over the Jeeps... every single gas station in Wisconsin had one to plow the station lots and to Advertise their services!

In the Phillipines they're still using the allthough they've transformed into "Jeepneys"...

like them too! Jeep I started doing for my dad before he p***ed away

 

One of my military ***ignments was, Musieum detatchment commander, that was the best job I ever had. thanks for posting this.

 

I would love to have a Gamagoat 6 wheel drive u could not bury one I tried

 

Just sold mine this past summer.

 

How about this little guy I took a picture of? I believe this is WWII?

 

We rode in this Studebaker Weasel at our Studebaker Meet.

 

Cool pictures in this thread. My fave is the M715, they're just bad***.

 

In high school and JC I drove a 1954 M38-A1.
Lots of fun.

 

I think the minibike looking thing was a paratrooper's bike.

 

'37 Ford Buss Flathead V8 Powered.
Winter at TMP-14 Kaiserslautern General Depot Kaiserslautran, Germany
The early years.
Ed Roth's T-Shirts, one of the very few people that were behind the military during Vietnam.

 

Great video. Thanks. I love those old army jeeps. I rebuilt a 1942 Ford Jeep when I was a teenager and early 20's. It was a blast. I wish I still had it. In fact, I will own another one some day.....just need to get that ranch first!

 

I of course have to show off this little gem, one of the only jeepneys this old left, and the only one in the us like this, still wears the 74 p plate

 

Hell yeah, the ultimate in tuff RPU's

 

Here are a couple of original WWII vehicle pictures. These photos were taken in Japan. The 41 Chrysler is right hand drive.
