Wow, that's some list for a diorama, John 1950!

And would love to see that Matador pulling logs out of the woods ruxy.

Thanks for the liberty ships Wally Dugan .

Cheers radio Mike 7 Well that can't be on here I'm afraid, so Paul Conner you'll have to look at this!

Is this the vehicle? WW2?

Haha, thanks for the heads up on the date of the Scammel, Radiomike 7. guess you get to choose again  Ex-boy!

Hi all,

Don't know if this has been said before?(probably)  but as a youngster, in my mind it's USA all the way Jeep and GMC tucks Sherman's but I'm influenced by films as a kid. What's your choice and why? Any make or country... British USA German French Italian anything goes...

Hi, interesting, so you are saying the tower shown has no WW2 connection. would you have a picture of the tower you mentioned at East Kirkby?

Found this nice pic with I beam front axle 6x4

Hi, thanks John 1950, and cheers Pete Ashby for heads up on the book, will put that on Christmas list. I'm hoping to visit overlord this year. and have a close look at some 6x6s if there are some. Never been there before...

Haha, just thought, it takes a minute or two.... If you put a rear axle on the front steering might be a problem, lol.

But still could there be a different axle for double wheels on the front, or is that daft as well?

Well going back to the sticky out bit on the front wheel hubs, most don't a few do. I've got a idea! Maybe the Sicky out axles on the front where in fact rear axles.. which seem to have a longer center, so maybe they run out of front axles or wanted the option of double wheels on the front?  Like the rear. What do you think?

Found this site very interesting pics and info... Loads of different use GMCs

Cheers john1950 will take a look : )

Well this is interesting, as a new guy here, and not yet a owner of anything military.... One of the reasons I find these vehicles attractive is that surely anything goes... I like the fact that because of age and the use these vehicles were designed for, a few dents brush marks and wear n tear just suits them, a nice and very practical change from the show room brand new perfection that is nearly always desired on everyday transport, these vehicles don't need perfect flat panels and paintwork to make them special. They already are! : )

Had a quick look at CCKW forum, very good and someone there called Degsy!
