A steel soldier out in KS had a set of deuce tracks for sale awhile back. Factory tracks are out there, but I've never seen front skis. Looks like fun.

Spend the extra cents and get the EDMP. It should last years, mine has.

Any chance you want to part with just one of those plates?

May have been MERDC desert. The desert gray scheme had Sand as a dominant color. Some of the other schemes had sand as a color component as well.

The M38 style guards are not original to the M38A1.

I haven't seen any photos of GTs with claymores strapped to the outside. Seems to me that blast would knock out the truck it was strapped to. Any Vietvets here witness that method in action? If you've never seen a live claymore detonation, it's substantial to say the least. Yes it's...

Two complete pipeline trucks from the Jack Tomlin collection were listed at $9k each a couple of years ago. I inquired about one and was told they were taking offers. The salesman wouldn't (or couldn't) answer my questions so I didn't make an offer.

Awesome roof rack! I look forward to seeing it fitted to your truck. How does it mount?

Thankfully property accountability is usually a much more formal process than just wandering around checking to make sure everything is still there. Army commanders and property holders are required to check on their property at regular intervals. Must have been one jacked-up unit to not know...

Seems to me somebody would have to report it stolen before it gets listed in a LE database as stolen. My question is who reported it stolen? If DLA turned over this truck to GP for sales why was it reported stolen? Surely listing a vehicle as stolen isn't part of the usual process?

I've read in several PS monthlys that fuel hydro lock is/was common. That's why the startup procedure was written to check for hydrolock and includes a starter bump with the fuel cutoff pulled. I don't recall why these tend to leak fuel into the cylinders but I'm sure someone will chime in...

Are you bleeding the air pack as well? Any leaks at the air pack? edited to add, I should have read gimps post first.... He covered it.

We covered up all the bumper numbers on our combat vehicles to make it harder for the enemy to track any inadvertent patterns in our movements. If you want to make bumper numbers authentic for the Iraq theater just put two or three parallel strips of OD duct tape on each end of your bumpers. :-D...

That's the place. Is it just south of Anderson/Clear, or is my memory getting worse?

Alaska track oddity This isn't an MV, but I thought it it was intriguing and may be of interest to this crowd as just a nice piece of American ingenuity. It's a '63 or so Chevy pickup converted into a snow machine. It's certainly creative. I don't know if it works, I spotted it during the...

Amphibious MVs are at the next level of awesome. So, did it pass the leak test? Do you have to do the typical axle tear-down and service after swimming?

Skis. I was in Alaska.

I took these during a training exercise awhile back.

Congrats on your new M38A1! Jeeps are more fun than trucks in my opinion. Have fun with it! Fits like a glove on that 1061 trailer too.

If you're looking for someone to haul your truck try B & R Trucking based out of Flint, MI. The owner Brian Stilwell hauled my truck several times, and he has hauled for several other steelsoldiers. He had the best rates I could find as long as my timeline was somewhat flexible. Give him a call...
