This is just a test to see if there is any interest in Older Iron used by the various military forces in the 1935-1945 period. I'll just throw in some random vehicles here to show you what I mean Edit: Changed my mind, picked a few different vehicles. Bill
Nice Heo2 and thanks. I have been collecting such photos since about 1956 and all of yours were new to me. Here are a couple/three more Fords. Tackar. Bill
i currently am playing with a 1941 dodge 1/2 ton 4x4. i put on some combat rims, and an offy manifold with dual carbs.
some more finish Army fords they are from www.Kevos4.com lot of more pics there many of them wery grapic I have one ex finnish army 40 truck A story i heard is they shipped the 40 trucks C.K.D to Petsamo from USA and one ship with the frontfenders got torpedoed so some of them had front fenders made out of Plywood
Thanks Heo: I also use the Kevos4 site and have gotten a lot of good photos off of it. Here are a few more Fords and as soon as I find a bit more time, I will start some threads on other brands. My 46 year old single mother with three kids daughter is getting married for the second time on Saturday and my wife and I are hosting a pre honeymoon brunch at our house for all the wedding guests on Sunday and it is a bit chaotic here just now. Little bit of "tidsbrist". Cheers Bill
Whats a Burma Jeep? I have this couple of Universalcarriers based on Ford Trucks And my x army tractor lifting the flathead out of one of them
Burma Jeep = Ford GTB 1.5 ton. Powered by a custom flathead 6 cylinder. Man I've wanted a Bren Carrier forever! No place to put it to use though! Eli
there's at least one restored example of a Burma Jeep here in Germany: http://www.fomcc.de/gtb.htm How about a GAA powered Sherman?
My Carriers was used to haul timber with in the 50s got a Studebaker T24 weasel to. The one to drop from the air with parachute mounts and bigger gastank
