Yeah, those are cool, Greg. The ones we had when I was in the service didn't have the pop outs. They were just 8x8 or 8x12 cramped hot boxes.

Yeah, the last unit I was at had a few of those 8x12's. It's only the comm battalions that have the big truck-mounted ones. I trained with the South African National Defense Forces two years ago and they had a few big comm trucks. Theirs were on big Volvo 6x6's.

Not a truck but definitely my next project after the super cab.


Going to run a new 5.0 mustang engine with 6 speed tranny. With racing suspension.

My dream truck would be a 65 or 66 Ford Crewcab sitting on a late madel Ford deisel chassis to pull a fifth wheel trailer around the country. That would be great with the old body style and if anything went wrong, you could pull into any shop and find out what was wrong.
I just might have to buld this so I can use it when I retire.

Speaking of mustangs I would love to have only one mustang I know of. My buddies 1988 Ford Mustang GT 5 or 6 speed manual transmission not sure which one with 302 and tons of other mods I can't remember off the top of my head with a dual flowmaster exhaust system. I believe he has a supercharger on it too. He has to get a new belt on it because when he took it out with me last time the belt broke I had to walk to his house (about a block away to get his 86 F150 extended cab 302 4x4 to get him home) that car was fast only if it only went a block away.
