1967 M35 Quad .50 Gun Truck

On display at the National U.S. Armed Forces Museum in Houston, Texas.


History Fanatics' "The Widow Maker" is a replica of the original truck which served in I Corps in Vietnam, supporting the Marines, US Army, and ARVN forces.  Using original photographs provided by both the crew and by the Historian for the National Dusters, Searchlights, and Quads Association, the truck serves as a memorial to those men and their families who served in Vietnam.

 Currently undergoing restoration.


Work is ongoing, and we are very slowly finding the parts and items needed for the restoration.  Keep checking back - a new page will be added to keep track of the project.


If you will recall, we had many small and hard to find parts stolen during a burglary last year and second burglary this year.  It makes restoring these vehicles very difficult when the parts get stolen.

We were fortunate to acquire two trailers.  We are looking at selling one of the trailers to generate income to pay for other things we need, such as tires for our ambulance.
