New from FT Sill

[rronning84]

Hi my name is Ryan. I am an E-5 hear at FT Sill in SW OK. I have been on and off this site many times checking out a lot of the threads. Mostly I am interested in the M35A2 / M36/A2. Saturday I finally take possession of my very own Deuce. Its is a 1968 Kaiser with shelter on the back that has been converted in to a make shift RV. I plan to continue the conversion as this will be my expedition / camping rig.

Well here is. I look forward to all the insight I can get from you more knowledgeable folks.

Welcome Ryan! I'll be at Ft Sill in August. My son is in FA BOLC out there.

Get some more pics when you can. Looks like a fun project.

Almost forgot! Thank you for your service!

Welcome from OKC.

There are over 100 members here in OK. We try too have a couple of events each year, usually in the OKC area. You are welcome to join us anytime.

While you are at Ft Sill, make sure you drive over to Mears and have a hamburger.

Say Hi to Kathy and Sherrill (sp) at the GL location on base.

You have a great looking rig there. We will need more pictures of course.

I've seen that picture of the deuce before. I can't remember where, or who took it, but that deuce is not a stranger to SS. All I'm saying is I've seen that camper deuce before...

Sweet looking truck! Welcome aboard.

 

[rronning84]

Thanks for the warm welcome

The man I bought it from has had it for sale for a few months. He got it in a trade for some motorcycles. I have been negotiating for a long time with him. I will be driving to St Louis on Saturday to pick it up.

If you have troubles on the way home, we will be here to help. Many members along I-44 that can give a hand.

Yep, when Warthog has troubles, I get the call. I have picked him and his trucks up from various points around the state.

Seems like I have had to unstick you a couple of times with my little ol' M715.

At least when I breakdown I do it right. Blown clutch or burnt up wheelbearing All requiring the BIG GREEN Iron.

I second Mears, Luigi's Italian Restaurant in Lawton is pretty good too. Welcome to SS!

I too have seen pictures of that rig somewhere, I don't think it was ebay tho. This was awhile ago.

Hey from Ft. Bragg. I will actually be out in your neck of the woods next weekend for a few weeks. I'm bringing the guy in my Avatar.

Guess there's a few members around there. I'd like to enjoy some off-road time if there's some good spots!

Your new truck looks sweet!

Please post pictures showing all the modifications and inside when you take possession.

Congratulations on the new purchase and welcome to the site!

 

[rronning84]

Thanks again. I am glad to know that there are some good people along the route.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good customizing and camper build threads?

There are a ton of them. They range from shelters and civilian campers being placed in the back of a deuce, to M109s (Shop Van trucks) being converted, to semi-trailers being turned into rolling suites.

I'm fairly impressed with the truck you purchased and suggest you start a thread detailing what you have and possibly asking for suggestions based on what you are looking to do with it. People thrive on pictures, so the more the better.

Wow! That's a nice looking rig! Do the sides fold out?Post some pics of the inside of the box when you can.
