New member in Texas

[snakehunter1964]

Howdy everyone,

I've actually been a member for a week or so and have been reading so furiously that I haven't had a chance to introduce myself.

I can thank a co-worker who drives his bobbed duece crewcab to work several times a week for my quest that led me to finding Steel Soldiers.

I've always wanted a wonderful piece of history to call my own and had NO idea how easy it is to get infected...er...buy one.

I live out in the sticks and have a plenty of opportunities to use a duece for what it was intended as well as pursue a bit of adventure. I look forward to many exciting hours maintaining and tweaking and yes, even using my own duece in the very near future.

Now, if only I could find someplace to buy one...

Welcome this is a great site glad u found it!!! How many do you want? Now it's your job to save all the mv's you can from the depths!

Welcome. Also new and from Texas. I found mine on Craigslist. I have bought from Government Liquidations before but this was quick and easy. I have seen quite a few nice ones in your area, up near Dallas.

Welcome from new mexico enjoy the site!!

 

[snakehunter1964]

Thanks for the welcome fellas.

If I could find a decent runner w/w I would be pretty content for the time being. Maybe even a non-runner to go with it for spare parts. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and having spare parts on hand is a big plus!

Ultimately, I don't suspect I'll be happy until I have an A3, an A2 and a 5 ton. Once my kids finish college (4 kids, 5 years to go) I'll start rescuing in ernest!

Welcome aboard! State Farm if you are going the Texas Former Military Vehicle registration route, unknown who will insure it if you go with standard truck registration.

Snakehunter 1964 and Stouttrout:

Cheers, Gentlemen, from Paris, Texas...... I'm so far from anything interesting as regards OD Iron in Texas, that they have to pipe sunlight into the neighborhood. I am pretty sure that if you look around something interesting will turn up. Try GL and Texarkana- Red River Army Depot has a field full of reconditioned M35A2 and A3's just waiting for a home, I'm sure they'll be breaking them loose shortly. The folks on here are a never ending source of information, as you will certainly find out when you get into a bind...

Here's looking at you,

Cheers,
