My father joined an Ohio National Guard Cavalry unit in the 1930’s. They were half equipped with horses, half M3 scout cars. They used the M3’s until they were replaced with M8 armored cars and Stuart tanks, which they took to France. I have photos he took with M3’s in them...his unit carried the .50 cal, and two skate mount Browning water cooled .30’s. One photo has the horses field corralled with the M3’s parked around them.Their fine cavalry horses were given to the Coast Guard, which used them to patrol the coast of California after Pearl Harbor. I guess there were some sad cavalrymen that day. The MG tripods were a necessity, since they practiced setting up roadblocks and ambushes.

A double drop frame is one where the center is lower than the front and rear sections that hold the axles. A good example are the lowboy trailers that are used to haul around bulldozers and steamrollers. The WW2 Dragon Wagon pulled a lowboy trailer. It's use on the M3 allowed the crew compartment to set lower so the body would have a lower profile and lower it's center of gravity.

fun fact. all of the Armor on this thing and the M3 Halftrack is Face Hardened, now although some of you might know that FHA is no more effective than RHA against APCBC but against Solid shot it is, which is exactly what the 7.92x57 Mauser armor piercing bullets are. so even though the armor on this thing is 6.4mm all round it's effective thickness against Small arm AP bullets is more like 9-10mm. I mean the M5 Halftrack was designed to save cost by not face hardening the armor, so they made it thicker 8mm thick but was said to actually be less effective despite this been able to be penetrated at 300 yards opposed to 200 yards for the face hardened variants at 6.4mm (also just as a bit extra the german halftracks like the KFZ 251 were also not face hardened, so even though their armor was angled at about 35 degree's on the side sponson, the effective armor on the US and German halftracks were very similar, with the KFZ 251 edging it out at about 11-12mm of effective thickness.

Double drop channel section means that the frame bends upwards to accommodate both front and rear axles (a typical truck frame) and the rails are of C-shaped pressed steel, as opposed to box-type or I-beam. Again typical practice today, but not so universal back then. And box type is still found on premium vehicles.

In the early 70's I spent some time in D Troop ( the ground troop) of 8/1 Air Cav Squadron, part of the 194th Brigade at Ft Knox that supported the Armor School. Each platoon had a bunch of Jeeps, M151 with a M60 on a pintle mount behind the front seat and a PC-25 radio mounted on top of a rear fender ( I no longer remember how many jeeps), another M151 with a recoilless rifle ( again I don't remember if it was 105 or 106, but I do remember it had a .50 caliber spotting rifle on it) and a 5/4 truck with a 81mm mortar ( and the platoon Sgt ). The only situation i know of where the low man on the totem pole fired the main weapon. At the same time I read that the Army was testing off road motorcycles for reconnaissance, something that made at lot of sense to me at the time since neither the M113's or M114's or even the Sheridan's armor couldn't protect the crew from mg fire, might as well be a harder to see smaller target able to hug the ground or bug out faster. It's the radio that was our real weapon. Nowadays, give me a Onewheel.

A 1 1/2 ton truck is a pretty large chassis, actually. Not a "small" truck. The "light truck" designation ends at 1 ton trucks. The footprint may not have been huge, but with trucks it's usually more the weight you worry about. On "double drop channel frame" or whatever exactly it said, it means first that the frame isn't straight as it moves from the center out. It drops down in the front and back to mount the suspension, while keeping the center high for ground clearance. Second, channel refers to the cross section of the frame rails. They're U-shaped, a shape that remained popular for a long time (it still is). You could also have an I or H cross section I guess (and yes, there's a difference), but I can't think of anything I've been under that had that. The next most common (and probably strongest) would be the box cross section which was/is sometimes made by overlapping two channels facing each other so the top of each channel was at about the angle on the other side, then welding them together. Channel frame members are fairly cheap to manufacture, and have much better strength for weight than a flat piece or one with a single right angle. Fuel tanks under the seat were very common in trucks, and pickups all the way through the '50s would have the seat on top of the fuel tank. Eventually someone figured out that wasn't very safe and realized there was plenty of room under the bed along the frame... I really wish you'd looked at the axles and running gear a bit. Then again, I'm obviously a geek for the mechanical side...

1:31 - I don't usually like to comment before the end of the video, so as to not look like I didn't watch all of it, but this made me laugh enough to have to acknowledge in case I forgot later.

Fans, if you buy him one of these, fund Nicholas a driver. If he drives with his face inches from the wheel, any sudden stop will be painful and disfiguring.

I can't afford a 75K AFV (or 74,750 as cheap as that is) so I built my own (well I produced it, a couple of friends did a lot of the heavy work), a full scale FT Chars Mitrailleurs for the centennial. It's not quite done but displayable and I get to sit in the turret and fire the machine gun. Look under FT tank clears it's throat for the Hotchkiss machine gun fire. While this somewhat of a facade of the tank with lots of inaccuracies, it will look better once I get more bells and whistles and make the track more servicable. However, much of the ambiance of these vehicles is apparent on mine, such as the cramped spaces, the realization you will most likely die if it catches on fire, and how the hell did they see and fight in these things. One day it will run and won't that be a hoot. Due to torrential rains in Texas in September 2018 , I was only able to get it in a displayable form but it has gotten a lot of local attention as along the IH 35 corridor, San Antonio-Austin you don't see any of these (although there is an excellent concentration of Armor at the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry in Austin, and the Museum of American GI in College Station Texas which is closer to the IH 45 corridor North of Houston). MAGI of course has a beautiful FT tank and that is one the chieftain ought to use as it is drivable and shootable with it's 37mm cannon. I deliberately made mine the machine gun version with the "riveted" turret for contrast although of course you want to look at the real deal up close and mine at a distance. But sitting up on the back of the tank with legs in the turret gives one a different perspective, a sense of false dominance that probably helped keep tankers in their tanks fighting rather than jumping out and running away in terror. However, the drivers position is like being in a coffin. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8BpkpWftZrUiYE.html

I have always liked the White M3A1 scout cars. But i always thought the standard armament was 1 M2HB and 2 M1917A1s? Great job as always.

I was hoping he would mention the most notable thing about these cars, the horrible death wobble that so many of them have… Also, only the Diesel engine scout cars had the dual battery’s if I recall.

@ 00:26 I know I am a little late to the party but that Scout Car looks like the result if you dialed the Roaring Twenties up a couple decibels. Add a bunch of guys in fedoras and Chicago Typewriters hanging out the back and it would be perfect.
