The .50 cal doesn't fire. So what's the point in buying it? :confused:

You could always mount something on it that does fire :machinegun: , or toss molotov cocktails out of the truck bed. :hysterical: Sweet looking truck though.

Molotovs are kind of steep at $200 a throw...

Well, I just showed Mama and she liked it and approved. She said if I can Sh%& $19K, I can have it.

That hurts, I'd rather she just looked at me and shake her head like she did when I wanted to buy a P51 Mustang

Holy tomato bisque is that freaking halftrack?! My grandad drove one of those in the war, his gunner got shot to hell. Oh if only I had the money it would be bought! :clapping:

That is not a Half-Track. It is an M35(probably A2) 2 1/2 ton 6X6 truck, AKA "a deuce and a half". That particular truck happens to have no power steering 3 1/2 turns lock to lock, with a penchant for breaking thumbs if you got one caught while it was returning to center, a 5 speed manual transmission with an odd shift pattern (up-over-down for 3rd to 4th gear). It may or may not be turbocharged, if it has a turbo, it won't have a muffler, but it will have an incredible 134 horsepower, no turbo means more like 110. If it is a real canvas roof, not the newer rubberized covers, will rain harder inside the cab than outside when you are driving up the interstate a top speed of 56 miles an hour. Air conditioning consists of being able to open a small screened door on each side and tilting the windshield out. Heat is what comes into the uninsulated cab from the engine compartment. It is all yours for the taking, I think I would rather pick up one of the M923 5 tons that are routinely going through EBay for less money but needing paint...
You just have to ask yourself, is he telling you the truth based on knowledge and experience or spreading internet myths?

Oh, it's kinda hard to see the tires. It does look a little like one though. My mistake!
