Here are a few pictures of my truck. When I first saw her she had no engine or transmission and the hood was in the bed. We made a deal with "Vintage Iron" (Matt) and took his engine out of his M936 and put it in mine. I helped him install a Cummins 400 into his truck. I have done a lot of other work, painting, brake work, dog bones and added some LED lights. Take a look and throw a vote my way if you see fit. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Awesome, Campaign time! I'd like for my truck to win because it brought my brother and I so much closer when I got it. Fast forward a few years and I almost lost him to leukemia earlier this year. He's still with us by the Grace of God but it's been a rough few months. We look forward to Christmas and would love your consideration for a vote. It's a solid truck and made Steel Soldiers fame from my misfortune of sticking all kind of stuff in my parents yard a few years ago on Christmas Eve.

I already voted, will start campaigning with additional pics soon. It is about time that a non-US truck gets the nomination, and its fitting after the effort Rusty Loads put into getting the truck from the Czech Republic to Canada, and then drive TWO THOUSAND miles to participate in the Georgia Rally and show a unique vehicle. In the back is a UN radio container that saw action as well.

Some pics of the Tatra while still in the Czech Republic. In front, you can see a new cabin laying around.



Also a short video about the army Tatra versions.

Note that Rusty Load's truck has a heavy bumper in front, while most of the terrain army versions do without the bumper to get greater terrain grade abilities. Or it just might be a production version difference, not sure.

Arrival in Canada from the Czech Republic; persistence pays off.




*** but it took a lot of time, geting paper work sorted out, and then nerves about the roll-on roll-off and transport across the ocean. In the end, it worked out OK

Wow!! Now THIS is how it's supposed to work!


Keep up the fire troops!!

 

[Robo McDuff]

We'll try, need a few more votes for the Tatra; we really need to honor this double foreigner effort.



A next career as movie prop, with guns on top and moving nuclear waste.

Next time some pics on the UN container.

Do we get extra points for promoting the voting thread?

 

[Robo McDuff]

Maybe people missed the thread due to the migration to a new provider.

Well, the Tatra migrated to a new provider as well, to start a second youth. So please step up to the plate people and give Rusty Loads Tatra some votes for effort and aesthetics

OK y'all...it's all over in about 24 hours. Better get to campaigning/stumping/telling lies etc., you know...politician stuff.

PS...I think the Russians may have hacked this election.

 

[Gunner USN]

Ok I'll beg, the big HET is winning, what about a 1999 CUCV II! I know it's a little truck compared to a M1070.

 

[sandcobra164]

I think alot of votes were missed due to the website issues during the migration to the new server. I also think that the truck that is currently in the lead is Awesome. An M1070 HET with an M1000 trailer and a HEMMT loaded on deck. He is living the dream in ways most of us mere mortals will never get a chance too.
