Are you thinking Red Ball Express Dzohn? PaulE

Yes Paul :thumb2:, that's it, thank you. It was a great read, think I will go back and read it again .
Dzhon.

Dzohn, better yet grab The Last Stand of Fox Company. It will give a greater appreciation of Big Gregs' Chosen dio. It takes place earlier up the road. Sorry Lee, haven't had my coffee yet. PaulE

Hi Lee
I'd call that a success. It really looks a brute of of a vehicle.

John. Thanks and what a ride it was you had to keep your thumbs from out of the spokes of the steering wheel if not you hit a bad rut in the road or bad bump or rock you would break your thumbs grandpa said because of no power steering they would have tires blow out if there were no spare they would sew them back together or single them out like take one of the “duals” from the rear and put it where the tire blew that’s why the Military Very seldom had Spoke type wheels disc wheels was more practical and interchangeable all sorts of stuff to get the supplies to bulge.

Paul. Thanks for the complement what a fun build. I don’t know what you mean there about Big Greg’s diorama you kinda lost me at your 1st cup of coffee. Do I need to call Nurse Ratchet?????

Jim. Thanks for stopping by and the complement means a lot from you those old Acars were beast just like a Mack.
