SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Post by Joe Gopan » Mon Mar 05, 2012 5:55 pm

The temperature Sunday was too good to resist, won't be long now............ That ARCADIA ORDNANCE Grenade Box peeking over the tailgate sure looks nice in my truck, thank you, Rob L.
Love that TM9 ORDNANCE PRODUCTS Blue Drab, don't you?

Note the "dimples" in the side of the cargo body from hauling artillery shells that roll around.

Thank you. It was restored much the same way as yours, except 25 years earlier. I am positive I could have learned something from you if you had been here.

Am thinking of putting the 1941 1942 early unit markings on the doors in Blue Drab in honor of the many local 152nd Field Artillery friends who were activated in Spring 1941 and fought thru 1945 with the 43rd Division.
