    I was the Highway Platoon Leader in B/504 in Pleiku from May through September, '69. It was nice to see pictures of the Ace of Spades and Ho Chi's Hearse. Would have liked to have seen a picture of Prisoner of War. I'm sure there were others, but at my age, I can't remember. Much respect to those who served. You have balls the size of coconuts.

    It's good to see two of the 815th Engineer Battalion guntrucks in the video: D Company's "Wild Thing" (replica built by Randy Recht), and C Company's "VC For Lunch Bunch, photographed from the side showing her "Patience My Ass" graphics. "The Bunch" later was renamed "The Roach Coach" and is shown with her new name at 3:51. I twirled the wrenches on it 47 years ago under both names. Thanks, Dick Bowman C Co 815th Engr Bn 1969-1970

    As a wrecker driver/operator in Nam I was always the last vehicle in a convoy. It was great having these gun trucks behind me for security.

    We built a gun truck with a M113 shell in 2011. "The Colonel" was meant to be a static display vehicle for our battalion the 57th Trans Bn at Fort Lewis. We even had one of the original crew members out to see the truck. Another small fact is that one of the civilian painters at the Base repair shop was a crew member on "King Cobra", another M113 hulled guntruck. The Colonel was eventually sent to Fort Leonardwood when the 57th inactivated in 2012. It is still available for viewing at the 58th Trans Bn (which runs the Army truck driving school). To my knowledge the replica we built is the only one like it in the world with a M113 hull.

    I guess it don't matter, but my old man served with the 58th in Vietnam. His name was Jack Morgan and he was a good man. He is now deceased, but he always said that he missed his brothers.

      First off, GREAT EFFORT. But please go in and edit the title and slides - we have enough haters claiming that all grunts are uneducated dumbasses without giving them ammo. Like it or not, a lot of people will judge the whole project by one typo, much less a whole bunch throughout the entire show.

    Aw thanks I know many errors with the video but can't correct, the short song < had some friends sing it the GI's way was the Mike Day Band that were at a flea market, and they said this song is for all the Vietnam vets.

    @richm.6220 7 месяцев назад

    Aw yes the Iron Butterfly gun truck kind of earned a rear spot for some reason maybe because we had one less gunner crew members.
