Welcome! I, too, find working on the Deuces and 5 tons to be therapeutic to say the least. Nothing like em.

I've fallen in love with the wreckers. As Wreckerman pointed out, they will pretty much pull a house off the foundation...

Special thanks to Dave. We'd been talking for years but I finally happened to meet you at KAMO this year. You then proceeded to invite me to tag along to the GA rally a week later. Thanks for being willing to drag my irritating personality halfway across the United States and back, arrange...

Special thanks to John. I know this wouldn't be the first time, but nevertheless he is very deserving thereof. This guy hosted me for two weeks in his private home, proceeded to teach me "five" tons of information on M939s and a host of other MVs, and dragged me along to KAMO and to look at my...

I'll post more pictures when back home on more robust Internet but here are a few teasers.

Was visiting fellow Steel Soldiers member 98G a few weeks ago in preparation for going to deal with my M928 project others have kindly nicknamed the "Banana Wagon". First I flew into Sitka, Alaska and visited with a childhood friend for a few days in preparation for flying out. Flew to Kansas...

Was great meeting you, Wes, albeit briefly!

Truck runs, drives, but isn't roadworthy. Some transmission issues (won't downshift under load) and not all lights work. Some air leaks when brakes applied. Runs enough to get onto a trailer no problem. Needs to be before the end of the month "or else"...in other words, it probably goes to...

OK! Finally went and touched this thing myself for the first time. Stuffed a used but fixable with lots of Gorilla tape soft top on it and did some similar general cleanup that could be accomplished with my bare hands in the space of like two hours (Between visiting with other MV enthusiasts in...

Went and visited the M928 I've had since last August for the first time, having bought it sight unseen. I'll attach pictures in another post later when not exhausted in a hotel room mid-trip in a 5 ton, but myself and fellow member 98G stuffed a soft top on it with copious amounts of Gorilla...

Following! What are your plans for the M1070? I, too, dream to own one...someday.

Sweet! Shoot me a PM if you like, I'd love to talk such a conversion.

Welcome! What are your plans for modification?

Hey Buffalobwana, I'm in Alaska. I'd always be up for riding along on such a trip. I know a fellow member who did a trip from CA to Fairbanks in three days straight in an M923A2. Anyway, I'll shoot you a PM.

Just for kicks, I'll nominate the "Banana". 1986 M928A1 that needs a motor, frame fixing, and a host of other things, but it's mine and that's what counts I suppose.

Welcome! These trucks bring people together without a doubt!

What all do you need before the test drive as of now?

Gorgeous 813!

OK! Dead thread revival! Recovery got delayed for a year. Finally sold the stupid fire-truck bed in June, man that was a wonderful day! I've bought a handful of parts she needs...PCB, master switch, fuel tank, air intake, springer driver's seat, spare tire carrier, headlights. Got a lead on...

Welcome!
