yes, and have corresponded with Mike.

Thanks for the info Wally.

Thanks, this is a big help as the Studebaker manuals do not reflect this, as nearly as I can determine. Best, David

Thanks for this Richard! Do you know what Theater/country would have required the single headlight be mounted on the right fender (as viewed from inside the truck)? Sounds like I can rule out key cards, and am now looking only for people who may have contract cards. Thanks for the help! Sincerely, David

Greetings! I am currently working on a book about the Studebaker US6, which will be comparable to my earlier 504-page CCKW book, and need a bit of assistance. I would like to hear from anyone who has copies of contract or key cards related to these vehicles. Unfortunately, I find myself needing this info when my normal sources are closed due to COVID-19, so any reply from this group greatly appreciated. Also, some British US6 trucks have their headlights on the passenger side fender, others on the driver's side fender, and I have yet to discover the reasoning behind this. Anyone here have an explanation? Best wishes, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

I dunno - at the top of this page it says that I have 1 message, and 1 is new - when I visit this forum, it says I have a new message, and that it will show it in a new page - but it doesn't. Thanks for the reply! David

Greetings - someone from this group has sent me a private message - which for some reason I can't view (maybe issue with AOL???). Anyhow - if whoever it is would, you can email me directly at ddoyle9570 at aol.com Best wishes, David Doyle

I think that I have some photos of one of these - but it will take me a WHILE to find them. You hit the nail on the head, BTW - it is to place a cable in a trench. Best wishes, David Doyle

Being a Yank - I dunno what a tenner is - but I'd much prefer a flat on the rear over the front if driving. No loss of control issues as their can be with the front. Steering a Reo or a 5-ton with a front tire flat is no joy. Regards, David Doyle

not plans - but there are some OUTSTANDING scale models in 1/35, 1/16 and even 1/6 scales made. Perhaps you could purchase one of these and scale the weapon up? Best wishes, David Doyle

Through the help of a friend, I supplied five military vehicles for a movie named "The Last Castle" - spent five days there with my friends doing the driving - on screen this was split into two sequences - one about 5 seconds, and the other during the closing credits. Also helped a friend do the MV driving in another movie - Stateside - can actually be seen in it. Did some consulting work on "The Good German. Was interviewed for "top 10 armored personnel carriers" - wound up on the cutting room floor for that one. Wrote the second edition of Standard Catalog of U.S. Military Vehicles, and the Standard Catalog of German Military Vehicles for Krause Publications, and 21 other books. Write for Classic Military Vehicles, Military Vehicles Magazine, Army Motors and a dozen or so other periodicals. Met TV and movie star James Gandolfini while on The Last Castle, and Niel Young at a toy train show, and Justin Timberlake at my hobby shop. Thats as close to fame as I get...... Best, David Doyle

Mark, Indeed I am a member of Steel Soldiers - same screen name as here. Matt, I vaguely remember our correspondence immediately after my tank accident - but I was on some pretty powerful pain killers (morphine) for some time - and things are a bit cloudy! I'll keep an eye open for material related to your truck. Best wishes, David Doyle

Indeed it is an Oshkosh 7-Ton MTVR (Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement) built for the Marine Corps - but that doesn't look like a Corps recruit standing by it! Best, David Doyle

Classic Military Vehicles is occassionally found at newsagents here - but I get mine through the post. The extensive use of color photos - something not often seen in domestic military vehicle publications - is making CMV attractive to this market. Best, David

Greetings all! I found this site through the information in Classic Military Vehicles magazine - and the site looks great! I thought I'd introduce myself. I live in the area of Memphis, Tn, USA. I collect and restore M-series military vehicles - ranging from a 3/4 ton contact maintenance truck to 10-ton tractor, though my interest is particularly 2 1/2 6x6 variants. However, I do have a considerable interest in military vehicles of all eras. I support my habit by writing and doing research - about military vehicles, WWII aircraft and collectible electric trains. I look forward to getting to know ya'll - at least electronically, and 'm sure I'll be stopping in from time to time with questions. Should any of you have questions that you think I could help with feel free to email me directly, or post on the forum. Best wishes, David Doyle
