Halftrack on Andy Griffith Show

Post by judyronM » Tue Dec 06, 2022 1:22 pm

Interesting mod on an M2 at the end of an Andy Griffith Show episode, had a solid plate top over the cab and bed with a cone turret towards the rear, like the 50-gun ring was back there. I'm thinking a Hollywood mod. Episode when Barney gets an old Army motorcycle to patrol on. The halftrack is referred to as a tank, it shows up at the end of the show.

That same half-track was used in many episodes of COMBAT. I wonder if it still survives.
