Time for CEVs!
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hi,

I'm just going to throw all the M728s up here, and you can sort out which you are interested in!

First, here's the Ft McCoy example (Ser# 229), found in the museum yard:

Next up, the Ft Irwin example (Ser# 71). This was located off of B Ave. near 7th Street.

I've never seen this before:

And last but not least, the example at Ft Lewis (Ser# 75), outside the (temporarily closed) museum:

That's all I've got at the moment...enjoy!

Chuck

Cheers Chuck - I've added the picture of the Fort Irwin M728, and the Irwin M60s in your album, to the Fort Irwin entry and that has filled a number of gaps:

Location ID 54300: Fort Irwin

What has me a bit confused is that Neil lists a single M728 there in his register, but with serial 893. I guess there may actually be two there, since the serials seem too different to confuse.

Many thanks

Trevor,

There is only one CEV at Fort Irwin to my knowledge. The pictures Chuck posted of SN 71 are of the same one erroneously assigned SN 893. From what I have figured out so far, only 291 CEV's were produced, 243 from the initial batch, then another 48 much later. Those can be identified by the GEN 4 hulls, previous builds being GEN 2 and 3.

Chuck,

That Chrysler plate was common on GEN 2 hulls used on M60A1, AVLB and CEV's. A lot now just have the mounting boss, the plate being removed over time.
