There is even a M60A3 in very good shape about 20 miles from here that was donated 5-10 years ago. It appears to be a M60A3 TTS.
About 2 miles from here a guy built a M35 2.5ton gun truck ala Vietnam...no, it is not named "Eve of Destruction." it still looks sharp in black with red lettering, though.

Dave,
Welcome to the list (or at least with regards to posting actively).
I don't think this has been specifically discussed but it's very germane. During the Yugoslav civil war, T-34/85s were pulled out of museums and other places (the back of the motor pool in some cases) and thrown into battle. The following is a knocked-out T-34/85. The middle road wheels are from a T-55:
At any rate, it makes sense that anything would be pressed into service. In the Aftermath adventure "Empire of Karo" the city-state has put some M4 Shermans into service by installing diesel bus engines.
What would the stats be for an older tank like an M4, powered by a bus engine? Just curious.
