randyp Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 It takes a lot to make me look good, but I think I would look quite distinctive, debonair, and successful doodling round in that! I think I want it. randyp esq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Iffn you're going to play chicken,then you need the genuine accessory roof mounted 50 cal. browning machinegun!.............MarkI've only seen 30 caliber machine guns rail mounted like that myself. But never have seen one on a "NO" series truck. There is a wrecker yard not far from here that has an "NO" with a crane body. Damned heavy truck with a real nice running 707 gas engine.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vision386 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Rob,i agree,i've only seen 30 cal. on this type mount too ,"duece and a half" GMC etc. but the article accompanying this picture says it was a 50 cal.undergoing tests at the Aberdeen proving grounds in Maryland in august 1943 Extra "beefy" five man cab,heavy duty gun mount with the idea of supporting the 5 man crew of a 155 MM "long-tom" artillery piece. I have been trying to find out if any of these were built with a diesel engine,so far have found no evidence to support or deny it. The reason i was curious is that i saw a video on youtube of an NO,and the caption states its diesel powered,but does'nt go into any detail. It sure sounds good though!........Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyp Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Mark, we have quite a few of those come through here on a regular basis, usually 3 or 4 with pickup leading them and civilians driving them. I just figured the first time I saw it, someone had made a big surplus purchase. I guess I have seen it a couple of times since, someone may be putting an army together somewhere. I dont know what the deal is, it may be the texas army assembling for the takeover of Florida. Be sure and tell Hatcity, we aint taking no stinking prisoners. All captives go in the hogpen with Spot, hence, "stinking prisoners". Gurd your Loins, Hatcity! randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
