But is there enough there for YOU to bring it back from the dead? ;)

zout's doing such a great job, the next time I need an MV redone, I'm tempted to send it down to him to get the royal treatment!

Aw RIGHT! Way to go! Many thanks for all those who played a role in getting this taken care of, to bring level heads and honest facts about these vehicles to those who were able to influence those who make the rules. BACK TO GREEN IRON HOARDING!

While it's uncovered, now would be a good time to check the rear brakes, the gas tank sending unit, and the rear shocks, just to make sure they are 100%. If anything needs repairing or replacing in those areas, ain't no better time than when the bed is off and it's easy to get to. Just sayin.

Need to replace that driveshaft, with a dent that big, it is not long for this world. At the very least, replacing it will remove a harmonic imbalance that it is causing. Also, now is a good time to grind off that stupid ball hitch and mount a real pintle one. If military vehicles were...

Looking for someone with a cover for a M332 ammo trailer. Prefer new, but used is fine if the price is right.

Lookin good so far, zout! It's almost a shame, you're gonna make it look awesome, and Ferro is going to sink it in some bog somewhere.

Buy the whole thing. They aren't making them anymore and WWII green iron deserve good homes to save for future generations to enjoy. If the price is less than $1K (which is a lot more than it's worth in scrap metal), BUY IT! I'm sure you can find a home for it here or on G503.

I've got the food situation squared away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdpsfBsN_Dg

I'll be there with my 12 yo daughter. Not sure yet if I'll have an MV by then, but I'm trying. Get there Friday evening and stay until Saturday evening.

Went to the Berryville VA hamfest on Sunday. Beautiful weather, the site reminds me a lot of the Gilbert PA fairgrounds where they have the MV show in September, lots of oak trees and shade, big crowds, etc. Sales sucked for me, only $20 in sales, but then again I only had some small stuff...

It looks similar to a couple small gensets used by the USA in World War II, but it's not. I vote also, that this is a civvy trailer or a welded together amalgamation.

On a side note, when did the Air Force stop using Strata Blue to paint their trucks? I assume sometime in the mid-1970s when the services all adopted the 4-color MERDC camo pattern?

Anxiously awaiting the feature article on this truck in the next issue of Four Wheeler! Well, why not? All your other creations got featured there! :)

I have flat towed a CUCV M1009 behind my deuce once. Only thing I needed to do was drop the driveshafts. I used a military medium towbar, that's all that was needed. They cost $300-400 in nice shape, with the feet, so it might be a good investment to just buy a towbar for yourself and be done...

Strip it of every military part that's salvageable, then any part off the rest that might be of use to you or someone, and scrap the rest. It's not an experimental deuce or something really rare. I've seen cobbled together trucks all over the place that look military; it just turns out that...

Is the frame/suspension/undercarriage going to get any love as well? I see a beautiful body resto coming along but the chassis is looking a little unloved.... :(

If you are set up, it's slowly turning into a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday show. Which is great! More days to enjoy with friends and green iron. Working on the Vietnam display, might have more news on that in a separate thread.

Only two months or so until one of the best rallies on the East Coast happens! Who's attending this year?

My daughter and I will be there again. She is hoping that Karl shows up again with the halftrack, she liked getting a ride in it last year!
