I worked on these in the Army. Dangerous and hard to work on, aluminum hull...they went to the scrap pile early in their career. So noisy to drive with the Detroit engine setting in the chassis backwards between the two operators. Not something would ever wan to drive again. Operators in Viet Nam refused to drive them as you could get out of the drivers seat in a short time when being shot at. In a combat situation they were a death trap.
@raginroadrunner agree with all, except they were sent to the scrap pile early: i was i nthe 82d in the mid '80s and the goats were still alive and kicking. That's a whole decade after the viet guys, so it doesn't seem to be thrown away early. Then again, maybe they were unique to the 82d at the time, i know the sheridan was so maybe bragg was the last hanger-on to the goat. Dunno.
@raginroadrunner now hte hmmwv or humvee or however its spelled lol, has hte diesel and drivetrain in this position. diesel ahead of crew, gearing and shafts between.
@terranborn56 ..You can't..the vehicles were sold under a mandatory destroy before sell agreement. Some got away..but very few. They were not something you would want to have....RR
Hey guys , have a couple of restored goats of my own , would like to know what you used for components to fit the wilwood brakes and rotors and where you got the great loooking rims , size , manufacturer. have slipped a custom chevy small block 400 into one and are leaving the other original thanks , andy
every thing was custom made. Some for our independent trucks and some for this particular app. Tires are 49 inch Irocs. We are having some minor problems with the cooling on the 526 Cadillac motor. Are you having any issues with cooling yours?
Your Goat looks great! But I'm sorry to say I stopped watching when you said you swapped the Detroit out for a big block.. The Screamin Jimmy is what makes the Goat! Looks cool though.
I am in Kamloops, I have a gama goat and am looking for two ties for my goat. 11.00 x 18 military tires would work for me. Let me know if you are in Pentiction and have your old tires. thank you for your time and you gama goat looks great. I wish mine was half that nice. my cell 774-270-2617
@placerminer1 There's an American tire company named Coker Tire's. I'am sure they'll have whar you're looking for. I don't know if this will help you. GOOD LUCK !!
Is this in (or was) In Kelowna in the Fahters day car show? We saw one EXACTLY like this but had no clue what it was till i randoly saw this video! That thing is beast! love it :D
@gocms Yeah, I shure did. Though I didn't get pictures this year like I did last one, it shure has grown and their were some pretty amazing cars, boats and dragsters!
