Need information on a m37 gun truck

Post by Mark »

Hello, I'm new to this. I need any information or pictures of a m37 gun truck called Godzilla. I'm trying to bring it back to life with my 1952 m37 any information would be truly appreciated. Thank you Mark

Mark,

The only pic I've seen of it is this one, which I guess everyone has seen. Check and see if the 512th Trans Company has a website. If they do, or if they have get-togethers, they might have more pics.

Mark,

With Godzilla having a minigun back there I'm surprised it's not towing a trailer full of ammo too!

Yikes!
