Hi Collin. Saw this posting and was wondering if you have any pictures in jpg format of the Ranger desert vehicles? I am restoring a 1971 A2 mutt and would like to do it in Desert Storm configuation but have no source material. Would need as much detail as I can get re; tires/wheels gun mounts, brackets( as mentioned) and paint (probably sand color ) and markings. Any help would be appreciated. FyI I live 25 miles north of San Francisco. Thanks again..........Alan
John Hawthorne should be just about finished his restoration of a US Ranger
MUTT command vehicle as used in the Gulf War. He found one where the body
had to be surrendered for destruction, but he got ALL of the special stuff
(except radios) such as desert wheels, special brackets etc. He and Ian
Newby also documented the 75th Infantry (i.e. RANGERS) desert raiding MUTTs
with gun mounts etc. before they were scrapped at Fort Lewis. I believe John
H. plans to rebuild one of those too someday - I hope they do!
