Here are some pic of the Highland Animals. This is a 2 1/2 ton second generation gun truck from the late 1968 era. The truck was assigned to the 8th Group, 124 Trans Bn. 64 Transportation Company and this truck is number 74. I built it for Richard, the 50 cal gunner on this truck.

















Here are a few shot of the actual gun truck.

I always like looking at your gun trucks and one of these days, if I can ever catch a decent sale I'm going to have to try my hand at one

I'm just a humble idiot, but I'm going to ask anyway. What is that cable going thru the forward bulkhead of the gun box used for?


edit: Never mind, like I said, I'm a humble idiot. I see what it is used for now

Thanks Josh. That is the rope that the crew pulled to raise the front windshield armor when engaging the ambush.

Very nice Dave!

Seeing your model of the Gun Truck that provided cover fire for the convoys I drove in Vietnam. She was the best and her crew were outstanding soldiers.. Those were the best days, ever.

very nice build,the pics are great.
