Grabbed a shot at a local National Guard Armory.... I think it's a M-60 but the turret doesn't look quite right.... A little help here?
Not a M-60. I'm thinking M-48 but not sure.

the M-60 evolved, different turret,different gun etc. This appears to be just one of the varients.
Looks to me like the M18 -hellcat - the tank destroyer.

Definitely not an M18, they only had 5 sets of bogey wheels, the M48 and M60 both had 6 sets of bogeys, as the one pictured has.
The problem I have in identifying this one is the gun shield, not like the M48 or M60. It might be a modification of the M48 as sold to Israel though.
Count again. 1 Idler, 1 drive, 5 bogeys

Ah, my bad, tanks! ( :mrgreen: )
The M67 "Zippo" flame thrower tank !
I am thinking M48. The main gun, looks to be a 90mm. I think the M60 went to a 105mm.

Per Wikipedia - ' . . . M67 was built on a M48 chassis. . . '
And I doubt it is a M67 because the gun has the T-shaped muzzle brake of a M48.

the m-60 has a different shaped turret and was not called the patton. that was reserved for the m47/m48. FYI the photo of the tank looks exactly like the tanks found in bags of green army men

Per Wikipedia: Patton tank may refer to any of a series of tanks used by the United States military from the 1950s to the 1990s, named for General George S. Patton.
Tanks in the series include:
M46 Patton, a tank model operational during the Korean War
M47 Patton, a tank model in service from 1952 through 1959 with the U.S. Army, and through the mid-1990s in foreign service
M48 Patton, a tank model in service from the mid-1950s through the Vietnam War with the U.S. Army, and still operational in foreign service
M60 Patton, the standard main battle tank of the U.S. Army from 1960 until it was replaced by the M1 Abrams in the 1980s and 1990s, still extensively used worldwide
