Resurrecting an old post- I just thought Mike's friends would appreciate knowing his old Mule and trailer were still hitting Military Vehicle shows. I bought them over a year ago, hauled back to Kentucky, and have had the Mule to several events. This was from last weekend's KILROY Chapter of...

I think the final count was around 46 vehicles. Lot of M151s and MBs. Surprised no M37 or CUCVs, as I know several of the club members have them.

Week prior bump! Weather is looking great!

Thanks to everyone for the vote!

Here's a picture of my M151 right after I bought it in 2004. It had a hard top, which although pretty weather tight, it was so noisy you had to wear earplugs. '12- giving my boys a ride. The older one left for college last week. And also a picture from around '17 or so of my two boys...

Thanks for the mention. Please see the "vote" thread- I've clarified and added pictures.

Sorry for being confusing about my M151a1, guys. I used this picture, although it poorly showcases my jeep, because of it being in front of the Patton Museum at Ft. Knox, KY. To me, the location is the most interesting thing. Here's a better picture, in a completely different setting. I...

I nominate my M151a1. (MERDC in the rear) This picture was taken when myself and MVPA President Kevin Emdee were displaying our 151s at the Patton Museum (Ft Knox, KY) for a cadet class graduation ceremony this past Friday.

I was in Dubois, WY, for the 4th of July parade and caught a pic and a video of two separate FAVs in Dan Stark's collection. Based on the rest of the collection, I'd be surprised if he doesn't have more FAVs. The other is in this video at 16 seconds- And here is a FAV at the Sam Werner...

My son and I were at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, WY, on July 4. Unfortunately it was closed. (Fortunately we got to see the parade!) There are two M26 tractors sitting outside at the museum though. You can just make out the second behind the first.

Well worth going to this military vehicle show and swap meet. There were more than 30 vehicles last year, including a M5 Stuart and a UH-1 Huey that could be ridden for a donation. I believe camping is permitted on site, and October is Kentucky's driest month. Google KILROY Chapter for...

I was just getting ready to post a new thread in this forum- The KILROY chapter of MVPA is having it's annual show and swap meet Oct. 18-19, Bullitt Co. Fairgrounds, outside of Shepherdsville, KY. Last year's event had around 30 or more military vehicles including a M5 Stuart and a UH-1 Huey...

I never get enough pictures. But here are a few I took. Some of the attendees put a lot of time in setting up their living history displays. Clark Airborne dozer. Several 1/4 tons in the barn M718 Ambulance UH-1 Huey taking off A friend, his son, and myself going for a ride in a M5...

My M151 and Mule got a bath waiting to head up this morning. Hope it stops raining before I unload.

That certainly has to make you feel good about buying the right truck. Congratulations on the easy journey.

He really did. I bought it from his widow- so unfortunately didn't get to meet him or hear any stories. But did find this build thread he posted here- Mule Hauler I'd like to get a set of M101 side rails and canopy to see if they do in fact fit.

It's a M116 frame, and the previous owner built sides and tailgate to look like a M101, but it's wider. He specifically built it to carry a M274 mule. Also cut the inside of the fenders out to gain width. (Mule is 48" wide).

I used my 3/4 ton for cleaning up some Cherry in the back yard. And it struck me why I like mil vehicles so much. I did not serve, but have always loved military trucks, jeeps, and trailers. I grew up in the 80s playing with GI Joe. Now I’m in my 40s and I get to play with full sized toys.

There will be a UH-1 Huey at this event. Rides available!
