Convoys in Viet Nam 1970 71

My dad was a truck master in Vietnam and I had many of these photos years ago that got lost along the way. Thank you for these memories I lost my father in 84 .sure do miss him. Master Sgt R Spradlin RIP.

Thank you for the memories good and bad. I was on Quad 50s in Pleiku on Arty Hillfrom 70-72. We ran convoys daily. The sights through Mang Yang Pass (sic) and Ankhe Pass bring back so many stories. I always had the creeps going through Mang Yang Pass thinking about all of the French soldiers buried there. After passing the Ankhe Pass felt “safe” knowing the ROCs were guarding the bridges all the way to QL1 and on to Tuy Hoa. It’s been a long time.

Drove a 18 wheel fuel tanker for two tours. Scared the hell out of me sometimes but would not change. Met some great people and have some great memories. Some good, some bad but all are mine .

My PA was 2/9 Motor Transport U.S.MC. 1970-71. NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!

This was the road to An Khe and other base camps. . Petro Express 128th Trans group out of Phu Tia 12miles west of Quin Hon. I was down the road from them in an Ammo Dump. ..went Temp Duty TDY to Ank Khe. And their smaller ammo Dump. Security. Driving a truck. 64 C 20

I missed out on Vietnam with turning 18 in 1973 and a very high draft number but the more I read and see about the gun trucks is they are uniquely American in how they were built and how they were used.

Very nice pictures . Thx for sharing 👍👌

Thank you for the video I love old and new military iron

well done, thank you for sharing....

I drove a m-48 tank down the hwy always waiting for a ambush on conveys. 4th div 10th calvery.

For a year my driver and I visited fire support bases around Tay Ninh 1969-70. About two weeks before rotating USARV mandated all vehicles leaving MSR (main supply route) would be in a three vehicle convey minimum with lead and trail vehicles equipped with automatic weapons. We drove it a year just the two of us.

This Photo of Cold Sweat is after we got hit with an ED and Randy was KIA. We repainted with no white outline on the Letters. Added miniguns in the Back tire box on both sides as well.

Thanks for showing your pictures, Guy 670th

My dad, Harold Slaven, was drafted 69-70. He delivered fuel and was a mechanic. I have both of his photo albums and there is a truck named Satans Hired Guns . Did any of you know this truck or my dad?
