another m2a1 halftrack found in northern ca
« on: December 10, 2011, 06:21:42 PM »
i have a friend that sprays roundup type chemicals around farms and railroad tracks that told me about a halftrack he saw. i was able to chase it down today. the owner is a young guy in his thirties that plans on restoring it. he also has a friend down the road with another halftrack that i wasn't able to see today. i will try and get them to join the site and post more pics of there progress.

Cool stuff. M2-26 must have been made the first week or two of Autocar production.

My gosh! that looks like 1/2" plate steel on the back. That had to be one heavy track when it was set up and loaded!
