thats not a bad halftrack.

I think the price is pretty fair for what you will be getting.

Did Goodyear only make tracks during WWII? The tracks on my M2 where made by Goodrich and I "think" they where made in 1969, as they look very new compared to the rest of the M2. I just went outside to check the date I had seen, but the the tracks are covered in leaves, it's cold, and I have not had my second cup of joe. This Mairne is becoming a weenie in his old age......

Windshield armor is not original, I asked already. JB got this track and several others out of Nebraska last spring and none of them had windshield armor. I think it is about the hardest piece of original armor to find except for pulpit armor.

Frank one of my tracks has Annisten Arsonal embossed into the track. I thought that was interesting.
