New From Oklahoma

[oklacowboy]

Hello all!

I'm a newbie to the MV world, looking to pick up a Deuce! I had an M38A1 scrap heap once a few years back. Was nothing more than a rolling chassis. Before I got too far into it a guy offered me double what I paid so I was back out before I got my feet wet.

So about what I am wanting, I'm big on Emergency Communications. And I'm big on "Survivalist" type things.

I would like to pick up a M35A2 with the turbo multifuel. One with a van body on the back would be best so either a built bed, or M109 variant.

The idea is to have a vehicle in top condition, that I can build a communications room in the back of.

The killer is, while I am mechanically inclined, I am by no means a mechanic. I write checks. Also, looking at GL and google, it appears I will have to go to Philly to get one. Just not gonna fly.

I am here to learn, I've been browsing the site a few days now. I ask for guidance and patience as I learn and plans evolve....

Welcome aboard and PM Bill (bsutter) about his purchase of an M185 from the Philly area. I'm sure he can fill you in on all the details.

Welcome, you may want to look at an S280 Shelter in the back of Deuce.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I took a look at that S280 idea... not a bad solution! I think right now I'm going to aim for just getting a Deuce and seeing what to do from there. The idea of perhaps a trailer for the radio gear, leaving the truck as a truck for playing and hauling is bouncing in my mind...

is this what the bug does... makes you buy more and more stuff??? guess I'm already infected.
