Hey Bill, when I was there on site in '78 and again in '79, maybe we almost bumped into each other!
-- Actually I was being trained to work on new heavy equipment in the building that was between the Tank "Race track" and Van Dyke. On one occasion we were working in shop bay where we could see the tanks coming straight at us down the straight section, then they would go around the turn. It was kind of unnerving sometimes to think "what if the tank fails to turn..." because those things were hauling ass! Ben Morgan So what if I have cars in my yard 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 1964 Dodge Polara 2-dr HT 1964 Dodge 330 Station Wagon 1954 Ford F-100 (Grandpa's Truck) 1990 Ford Bronco 5.8L plus a few other wrecks and lawn ornaments From: wmp4@xxxxxxxxxxxx To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Happy 237th Birthday Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:32:39 +0000 I worked there from 1973 till 1993.

I was in the Army in the mid to late '70's. During that time the Army replaced their fleet of 5/4 ton trucks with M880 Dodge Power Wagons, which were basically off the shelf '70's Dodge 3/4 trucks with 318 engines and torqueflite transmissions. As a mechanic, I had one that was a contact maintenance truck. From: ALIENVOICE@xxxxxxx Just a Happy Birthday to all of the Army folks, past and present, who served their country, and love their Mopars. June 14th, is the 237th birthday for the U.S. Army.
OMC: Anyone alive today who served from WWII through today's Army (including Chargers currently used as MP vehicles on many posts), who rode in Sherman tanks, Power Wagons, M60s, Jeeps, or many other vehicles, rode in, on, or with Mopars. Thanks to our Veterans, and the Mopars they have used to defend freedom.
