I found out my deuces’ name is Bert

We had a deuce here who's name was Elmo.

I also saw a picture of an M-1 tank commanded by Ernie, so Bert may have indeed maintained that truck.

It's good to know that BOTH Bert and Ernie served our country honorably. I'm sure they are thankful for the "don't ask - don't tell" policy, huh

As for Bert the Deuce.... Are you going to emblazen his name on the sides of the hood or doors? It's cool to have a glimpse into his "persona".

If ya find MP anywhere on the truck, keep it to yourself. Otherwise you and your truck will be lookin over your shoulder the rest of your life watchin for the Frog.

I wonder if the were force out becuase they were cought in the tub together.

I doubt I will put the name any where else. Unfortunatly I plan to sell this truck once all the repairs are complete.

I am not sure why I would be watching for a frog.

MP = Miss Piggy = Mad Kermit......

 

[Lonesome715]

I have no idea how I missed that.

Hmmm! Please keep me in mind when that time comes. I have a particular fondness for collectibles with a special provenance ( provenance - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary ).

If the timing of your sale and my funding meet we might strike a deal.

Thanks

Well, the only thing left is the sticking throttle. I cannot spend a lot of time on it so I take a few minutes here and there and do what I can. There is no telling when I will complete it.

Oh wait, I also have a small peice of wiring to correct, then I will be done.

What if your next truck has the name Ernie?

 

[Lonesome715]

Some how I think the chances of that are pretty slim.

Slim, not impossible.

We bought an old Ford Flatbed for our fabrication shop, and whacked off 6 ft off the back and of course, it became BIG BOB. That started a silly tradition and every vehicle, whether personal or for the shop, ended up a Whatever Bob. Car Bob, Little Bob, Bus Bob, etc etc.

It only stood to reason, that when we got our M35A2 from bigelk50 (thanks, Rueben!), he would become ARMY BOB. He's not "bobbed" but the name fits.

Aiming for a trip to Death Valley by way of the west side (Saline Valley road) and will camp out in the back of Army Bob. Probably in Feb.

That is a funny story.
