[Cajunkr]

Greetings from Cajun country! I have a 1966 M275A2 that’s a mess and I’m just starting to resurrect it to a functional vehicle. I’ve read a lot of useful information on here and still have a ton more to learn! Thanks!

Welcome to the madness from the big easy.

Where are you?

Tractors are a hoot as the power to weight ratio is better than cargo trucks and they are more nimble too. Looks like you have a nice clean example there.

Thanks! It had a tanker on the back for the Forestry service that I removed. It needs a lot of clean up and going through every system to get it working properly.

Welcome to the Outfit!

Keep us posted with your progress with pictures.
This would be a nice thread to show what you have done. Maybe you can sell some of the parts you have to buy new parts for your "New-To-You" vehicle. Heck, snap a few pictures of the dash plates and maybe we can help you find the TM's for it...

I’ve been cleaning up the cab mostly. Getting rid of all the rust and such. I happened to notice this on the underside of the hood.

Watch this guy right here... he's shady.... you'll show up to a show thinking you have it in the bag, and BOOM.. his M37 takes it all...

We need to get everyone together when the trucks are done!!

Shady? Pot calling the kettle black.

Looked around a bit and did not see any Facebook groups dedicated to the Louisiana enthusiasts. Figured if we could form up all military vehicle owners, when something was needed someone close would possibly be able to source it out. Also got the Cajun Navy on board with the idea. Not sure if the link is allowed to be posted or not, but PM me if you would like the link to the page.

Welcome from New Orleans.

Stay tuned as I will try to organize another steel soldiers rally next year at the Air Show similar to the last 2.
Since I am not on Facebook, I will need help there....

I’m getting a little closer having it run. I need to replace all my brake lines as it blew a pinhole in the frame rail line yesterday!
Then I can finish my fuel system and get it running at least. Definitely message me and keep me in the loop about get-togethers. Lafayette is supposed to have Veterans Day parades also.
