Keep the pictures posted. Names of the perps would help too! I am a bit far away to be there, but I really enjoy watching your exploits!

I deliveryed the MKT to the working AO with the M36A3. Sorry Dave no video for this trip, Soldier who was detailed to shoot video, had to do a football game for TSN. You might have to wait. The M36 has the ponies to pull that ugly kitchen trailer, but it is so blasted long, that we are going...

Progress! Double post, deleted!

Guess what showed up, just in time for the weekend work party! The MKT Bible! I am going to have some questions about the things that should be griddles (pic 6 on post 143) , but I think that I am missing more than a few parts. The short term goal is to have it boiling Hot Chocolate...

And Thanks, Mike. My welder should have no problem making these on his next "Days Off" You guys are incredible. Without your help, we would have just kept walking. A lot of people ae following the project now. Literally. They are watching the progress, and asking what they can do...

If it's only $100 USA, it's probably better for you. If I hear that one of our snowbirds is going close to you, I will let you know. Had I known, 2 of my Legion members were recently near your home base. Bit late now, but if I hear of another RV heading your way.....

You just had the lesson that we learned. There is a "Bleed Back" tube, which is an over preasure relief built in to the in tank pump. If you are going to run an inline pump, either re-plumb the original pick up ( I can try to fing ne needed part numbers, or just get a new pick up, which is meant...

As much as I would LOVE to be there, they Gods of the Lottery have yet to enhance my travel budget. For now I am going to have to call upon my local Military Units, and Veterans, all of whom are goo-ing all over themsleves for the chance to get the use of this piece of kit for their local...

Tom, do you have the bows to put a tarp on the bed? If not, the bow corners that Digger Dave gave me are yours for shipping. I'm keeping the Troop Seat Brackets. Once I have the MKT functional, I'll be back to working on proper seating, and the winch! We found local trailer bows, so...

I use a D Ring, Canvas Buckle and a cheap Snap Link (poor man's caribiner).

Missing things .... The canopy lifting jacks are not there. I think that I have a plan, but what have the rest of you done, aside from getting 4 Beefy Soldiers to elevate that thing. The tubing for the canopy totally is not there, so if someone could give me a pick list with measurements, I...

A couple more. I WAS asked for pictures. We will probably need another burner, and other stuff, but when I get the flash drive from Mike, I will have a better idea of what to do. Yes, I did download the TM's that we have on this site.

1st work day! We finally had a chance to open it up. We expected a bit of a crap shoot. It was surplussed out of Ft. Lewis, and Leo picked it up off a Movie Props company. Some things like the travel cover are hooped, the canopy lifting jacks are not there, the canopy frame and safety rails...

Sweet. One of the guys around here has a T55. Very nice kit. Tall and laterally large soldiers need not apply for a ride ... It just doesn't work.

Our Radium Guages will set off every alarm known to Home Land Security. A Buddy just took an M37 through USA border, and they insisted on taking it on a test drive. It came back 1 1/2 hours later, minus a freshly installed E-Brake. They had no idea what they were doing, but had the power...

That would make a really sweet addition to an MKT. Since those are Un-Obtainium up here, I'm going to have to go with a Paloma (propane on demand heater) to make our MKT meet health regs. You would think that we are opening an OB/Gyn Ward ... not serving burgers to the public!

You might want to post some pics. some parts are easy to find, but others are made of Un-Obtainium. Post the Data plates too. Up here $800 beans for a good parts truck is a good investment, and we used more of them than USA did. If you have the time and determination, those trucks were a...

I saw what you did with the M135, this one is a wee bit rarer. You and crew will do your usual outstanding job. If you get stuck, Rollie the Goalie ... and Super Dave will get you back on track. You have enough skill, and more than enough local resources to do this one! I am waiting for...

The names in White or Tan, were a way of making the USA crews take pride in their vehicle, and warning any temporary user, as to who would be coming after them if a truck was not returned in perfect condition. As for signs or decals on the door, when I served, you might have your call sign on...

Put your Dad's name on the drivers front window, and your friend on the companion front window. It will mean something to those who know. The Unit and family will appreciate it, and you can still stick with your original plan of honoring your dad. Tac signs of the period on the back of...
