Hey TJ! Speaking of family, I hear congratulations are in order! I’m looking forward to things getting back to normal-ish and doing lunch again with you and your new bride. Stay safe!

Why do I have this funny feeling that your investment in the MKT is about to increase exponentially?

You definitely have the Green Iron Disease, which means that you are in the right spot. I’m looking forward to seeing more in this thread.

Congrats on the new truck! What are your plans for it?

This was from the 2016 TX MV Rally. @fuzzytoaster brought the HEMTT and the Deuce belonged to @nofearnohope.

A highlift jack (or something similar) may be helpful getting that trailer on your Deuce’s pintle hitch. My friend (who has 395’s on his Deuce) needed the highlift jack when he recovered his MKT. The jack stand on the trailer wasn’t tall enough (especially if it has sunk in the ground).

@TheQuaker, that’s awesome! Thanks for posting the info on and pictures of your Deuce! My Deuce is a REO also, but that’s a conversation for another time and thread. What documentation do you have that shows it’s a 1952 model? Here’s a picture of my Deuce hanging out with the M810 water truck.

Well, I’d agree... you are definitely due for a set of tires on the Deuce! You’ve got a unique idea for paint on the 5-ton. I bet it will come out good. I’ll give you a shout this weekend to catch up.

Hi Mark. It’s been awhile. I hope you are doing well! Are those the same tires on your M109A3/M185A3 that you had at the rally a few years back?

That’s no lie! You have one good looking truck, Sir!

Challenge accepted! I bought the M810 from a friend of mine, and he kept it under cover in a shed. Here is a picture of the M810 in my buddy’s shed before I bought it. As you can tell by the dust, the heavy rain did it some good.

Tracer, what can I say, you do have good taste! I am fond of the Deuce! Oh yes, the story and more pictures of the M810 are forthcoming as the voting continues. And, yes, it does have the gas engine pump. While I’ve got you waiting in suspense, here’s a teaser >>>

Oh, I get it! It’s training you to fix electrical issues!

Yikes! An awesome M38, a great looking Deuce and one heck of a 5-ton earning its keep! And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a HMMWVs with a kid! This is some steep competition!!! Folks, don’t overlook the lil’ ol’ M810 water truck! Wes helped me recover this truck two months ago on a day that...

@Tracer , sir, which MV are you going to nominate this month?

Not besides Steel Soldiers.... Where on Steel Soldiers... Check out the PDF file in this post >> https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m66-ring-mount-tm.30348/post-1454092 Fuzzy was right. @mkcoen was selling cab reinforcement plates. Although, the price had gone up a bit from $50 when I...

Have you read the thread that @Valence posted? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/valences-m66-gun-ring.146878/

Took the words out of my mouth!

Dumb question... what is an ECU?

I agree with both of those statements! Guys and Gals, we only need 7 more MVs. Check your shops, your driveways, your fields... Heck, even check between the seat cushions of your living room couch... Do whatever it takes to find your favorite MV and then nominate it here (pursuant to the...
