I’m guessing a tire and wheel dolly.

@DREAD KT - I don’t understand your comment, “I can always get a CDL later.” I view Texas driver’s licenses as having two aspects: 1) a class (e.g., Class C, B, A); and 2) commercial or non-commercial status. Class is determined by the vehicle or, more specifically, the gross vehicle weight...

This is awesome and very much appreciated!

That's a great looking combination!

Oh, did I mention the armor? And some more wheeled MV: There are several more restored vehicles inside that I didn’t take pictures of. If you haven’t been, this place is worth visiting!

I went with @Madmedic yesterday to the museum (now The National United States Armed Forces Museum) to help work on his MP CUCV display. This is Madmedic’s other display: While there, I had to check everything else out! Like the Panhard: Oh, and it was my first time to see a Truck...

I’ve seen taller cargo covers before. They are nice because you can stand up straight in the back which, in my opinion, is a great improvement compared to the normal cargo covers. If yours can be saved, I’d do it.

Oh, thanks for the explanation. I thought you were posting home videos and I was waiting for the strippers to jump out.

Just saw this thread. What a saga! Good luck completing the process and getting regular plates! I need to do the same bonded title process with my M725 and M936A2.

@foxtrot - that is a great sound!

@kendelrio - thank you. But who is the “ho”?

Thank you for the great information! I just ordered a fuel filler neck and will check out the fuel pump rebuild kits.

Hummm…. Offer me enough good beer and I won’t mind….

So having the truck fire-up, run well and actually driving it was the fun part. Now comes more fun. Here are the initial observations: 1) Rubber: Fuel filler neck (pictured below), hoses, belts, rubber cap thingy covering an opening on the side of the water pump that leaks like a sieve, etc...

Whoa! @TheQuaker -- That is truly awesome. Thank you. PM inbound. This is what mine looks like (excuse the poor quality picture):

I enjoyed your YouTube video. I immediately had to check for the red lens on the interior light above the rear doors — and yep — mine is missing. Lens aside, I’m rather pleased with what I’ve got.

My M725 came from another collector, which explains all the extra goodies stored in the back. Fortunately, the rats didn’t eat everything.

Here are more pictures: And here are just a few of the extra items that came with the truck:

Today went better than expected. Not only did the M725 fire-up, but I got to drive it! This may sound a little strange, but we had to give the Ambulance an I.V. drip to make her healthy again (you'll see below). I really appreciate @texas30cal and @Nitrodiver and @Madmedic for coming over...

@texas30cal and @Nitrodiver are coming over tomorrow and we’re going to spend some quality time with the M725. I hope we can get it running. We’ll see. Here are a couple of engine bay pictures that I took this evening. In preparation for tomorrow, I pulled the old batteries and got new ones...
