So when I was roaming about in the outlying regions of a nearby town, I found these a few months ago. I just went out with Muttley last week and snapped some shots through the fence. The guard dogs seemed friendly enough, and people were apparently inside the large office/warehouse in the center, but nobody approached us.

A partially disassembled M35 6x6 cargo truck


A cargo truck of an unknown era, possibly Korea? Any positive ID folks?


Chevrolet C/K-10 pickup trucks


Seven more M35 6x6 cargo trucks (Eight total counting the one in Photo #1)


Chevrolet K-5 Blazers


I think this yard holds vehicles retired from service in the US Army. I did some searching online, and I found no mention of the yard in my area. I was also unable to find an address for this facility, and due the fence and the two guard dogs (One wanted to play, one was napping ), I couldn't talk with the people there.

I'll have more shots come Saturday night, July 11, 2009. See you then! Also, can anybody do a positive ID on the pick-ups? I think they're GM Defense vehicles as well, but I can't figure it out exactly.

Those are M1008 CUCV pickups!

Ah, I was thinking that when I read the Wiki on it, but I couldn't be sure. Makes sense now. Thanks Dave!

Both the M1009 and M1008 have GM 6.2 Diesels that get like 20-25 mpg, and 24 volt systems for the engine, 12 volts for the rest of the chassis. Im dying to own an M1009 because i offroad a lot, and it has a locker in the rear.

We both need to inquire there and see if the guy will let 'em go for cheap. Then the Pac SW will really rock! Yay!!

When I've the time during the work week, I'll make a trip to the county offices and dig up the parcel information on this place. Seeing as to how these vehicles are obviously mothballed, they may be interested in selling, and I know for a fact I've already got a potential buyer. I'll keep you posted!

Swiff,

You ever get any more info about this place?

Unfortunately, I haven't bothered to get more information on that depot. However, I went somewhere else today that had some cool vehicles.

Very informative CM. Thanks for your input.

We used to have a complex like this @ the Red Morton community center here in Redwood City, CA. I think it was an old National Guard building, it was all fenced off and out in the back parking lot they had old Chevy Blazers and Jeeps and at least 3 or 4 of the giant trucks (think Indiana Jones, b/c I don't know the technical name) with the canopies on the back. I don't know if they're still located there or not as I have not checked it out in years.

found in colorado! LOL
