Since the 37mm on the jeep didn't fare too well, the TD Board still wanted a mobile AT gun and this is how the M8 armored car got its start. Being outclassed very quickly, it transitioned to the recon role where it performed well if the terrain was not too rugged.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

When we were on US/Shadow patrol we had a single M60, like rat patrol.
We thought we were the ship.
Good thing they never showed us these.

I love this story. I was smiling at all the pictures showing "real time" upgrades and the backyard mechanic ingenuity of forward troops. The "one-of-a-kind custom" armor plates at the front are totally GI-I (GI Ingenuity).
My "Delta Ground" unit in 2/17th Cav, 101st Abn. operated the M151A1, A2 & M151A1C with M40 RR. Completely unauthorized we moved two M40's over to M37 3/4 ton "Beeps", which was a better platform all the way around.
Pics from Camp Eagle and FSB Birmingham. I'm shown in an A2 pre-mission in Northern "I" Corps.
