old military vehicles found on island of Kauai

[Chuckman]

seen these on the south side of Kauai - J&T Towing on Hwy 50.
so tragic they're just rusting away. many more behind a fence I couldn't (didn't) climb over

A Sherman tank would be nice yard art IMHO.

That's actually a Stuart not a Sherman. Awesome find though

I Too Hate to see things like that! But All that is tooooo far gone. Other than the Tank, I don't even see any sale-able parts. That Wire wheel IS interesting, though. Could it Really fit the Flatie?

need to spend some time on G503.com and see what we are willing to work with when it comes to restoring true Fighting Iron- a whole different animal vs a CJ flattie. I would've paid to have ALL of those GPWs/MB's brought home. Theres TONS of GOOD parts there. That single combat wheel is worth $100 if not warped. Those pintles, oil filters, windshield frames, back seats, OH MY GOD there just rusting to nothing and worth a fortune.

Here you go "Chuckman"! I actually meant to get these out, a couple years ago. Today I visited the Korean Vet. He used to run Parades with these, & has donated a couple others to VFWs. They all run, need very little other than cleaning, & he's ready to let them go. We never discussed price. BTW, He's Close to you. I have the contact info. Bet some of your membership, knows this guy. Just threw in the 53 GMC pick up, for any interest! Mutt is probably a 68 [re-welded together], GMC 10 wheeler is 53, & Power Wagon, 54.

I love that '53 I need it!!
