...of a soldier's personal history. Nice color pics of bright, shiny new M60A1's, M113's, M114's, M109's, M151A1's (ca.~1964) and if you go back you can see him train on M47's and pic in front of the Patton Museum about 1954, including one with the Ford 3-ton out front and some guys in it).

Hi Doug! Hi Folks!

Very interesting!

A Lingle with a 106mm RR? Now that is different! Never heard of that being tried on a M114.

Check out the M577 in that second link. That is one of the very first M577s build for the Army. Any quesses as to why I make that claim?

Check out the search light mounted on the M60A1. That is the older type found on the M46/47/48 type of tanks.

Thanks for the links Doug!

Why, it still has a weld seam between the hull and the roof extension, Virginia... Mr. Green

We already have a Bingo! Well done Jens, you are already awake this today.

When the Army first started getting the M577, the side plates from a standard APC was used and the extended top was welded onto it.

I keep forgetting many CIA members are on the east side of the big pond!
Anyway, that explains why you are up at the same time I am working. I am on the midnight shift out here in far west Texas. It's been a slow night so I have had time to play.
