The anticipation is building........you got to let us Goat owners know what it is;-)

Hi Jericho, my theme of this Gama Goat is Oct-Dec 1983 during Operation Urgent Fury while in theatre. Though the Goat was used post-Urgent Fury, my emphasis is a tribute to those who served. Therefore anything post-DEC83 is a no go. I'm trying to depict the military gear during this time frame...

Operation Urgent Fury Now the Goat is somewhat done, it is time to start the search for GEAR. Gear as in field gear. I have started the arduous process of tracking down Field Packs, M1967 and M1972 type gear for this truck. I've made a couple visits to a couple army surplus stores outside of...

Be careful out there. They're calling for treacherous driving conditions Saturday evening into Sunday. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Hi Scar, I think I'm going to hold onto it in hopes of finding a deuce cover. Hoping I can do a straight across trade. Deuce canvas covers are $490 on E***....Crazy. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Nevermind, just figured out this actually goes to an M939 series truck.

I was perusing Craigslist last night and decided to see if there were any local M35A2's for sale. I was led to a "Deuce and A Half Army Canvas Soft Top Cab Cover Military Truck Jeep? - $100" I thought I'd bite as someday I plan to have a Vietnam era deuce....someday. So I contacted the seller...

Go figure... Was perusing a popular auction site last night. Saw he had the duck canvas military manual holders. Then I saw this "US Army Large Storage Bag" for $4.50.

With my last two trips through OR, I made sure I timed my OR fill ups after 1800 hrs. In rural areas they allow you to pump your own fuel after that time.

Sure thing. You still going with 3 color NATO camo? You have her under cover or is she out in the open? If out, we'll need to wait for good weather. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

My wife finally went for a ride in the Truck!! After 13 months of owing this truck, my wife went on her first ride in the truck. Albeit, it was a short 3 mile trip to the grocery store. But a first ride indeed. From what i could tell, she loved it:-) Here's a very short video before we hit the...

Hi Bill, I did mount the sugar scoops to the rear corner mounts. I mounted the antennas in the scoops rather than the main mount due to tie down issues. Mounting the antenna on the outside affords the ability of using the tie down at the front of the carrier. I needed to do this setup so the...

Thank you. Originally my truck did not come with a heater. I installed the vent with the idea of putting in an M151 coolant type personal heater under the dash. That hasn't happened yet. I figured there was no hurry in putting in a heater just yet without doors installed. My wife hasn't ridden...

Something that has always been in the back of my mind is the air reservoir in the engine compartment. I know you're suppose to drain them from time to time. Well, I finally got under the Goat, removed the inspection panel and proceeded to turn the petcock. I would turn it one way and nothing...

Going to gives this another try.:D Wsucougarx's M561
