I posted this link deep into another thread, but thought it might be of enough general interest to post again here. The shots are from the 2010 Gathering of Guntrucks in Carlisle, PA this past summer. As good as it was to see the trucks, I was equally honored to talk with the crews.
From a modeller's perspective, the guntruck crews always kept their rides as clean as possible, much cleaner than the average vehicle in Vietnam, so it is just as "correct" to do a clean one as it is a filthy one just in from an escort.

I missed the first link posting, so thanks for the second. I booked marked this for the near future. I like to build Gun Trucks from the Vietnam era (Thanks Dave "Animal") who got me started.
Happy Modeling,

Sorry, I meant to put this in the guntruck section. Newbie mistake.....I couldn't find it there, so I re-posted over there, just found it here. Mods can delete the one they want.
