Ace of Spades Gun Truck
This replica was at the Crossville, TN Vietnam Veterans Reunion. A guy spent $50,000 of his own money to restore this. I thought I remembered this truck from one of my two convoys in Vietnam. I asked some of the guys from my company and they remembered it too. We convoyed from Camp Evans to Phu Bai in Oct 68. I go to talk to the restorer-he lives about 30 miles from here. I told him I thought I remembered the truck but I thought it had a quad .50. He said it never had that so I guess it was on the convoy form Saigon To Quan Loi I was on. It was amazing to stand beside a gun truck after all these years.
