Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2016 - April VOTE HERE

[73m819]

some before and afters. I like to think this truck answers the question... What do you get when you cross an M880 with a deuce and a half.
Or what if M880's were one tons.
You've never seen another so you must vote for me.

i am NOT a fan of little trucks, so this coming from me is very rare, WOW what a nice job, out standing, EVERYTHING looks as it should, looks like a military truck gotten from GL or GP, NOT a home built rig, so again, a VERY nice job.

For those who cannot attend the GA Rally, Ron pretty much dedicates his time, talents and the services of his wrecker for the duration of the Rally.

I wonder if Ron can flip a hamburger with BART?? I saw him do it with the M819!!

Should not be a problem.

All voters who vote for it and show up to GA rally get to drive it.

Shoot! Now you tell us. I voted too soon. Well, I still like HETs.

Well, my CUCV isn't the prettiest thing. It has rust along the bottom of the body and still needs one fenderwell (inner fender) changed out soon. However, it is a workhorse. It is my only pickup and I use it regularly. It makes trips to Columbus, Ohio from near the West Virginia border, and gets a tank ran through it about once a week on a slow week. There is nothing mechanically wrong with it, and it gets complimented nearly every time I have it out. It has 37" humvee tires and purrs along at 55 mph, now that I finally learned to ignore the noisy Detroit Diesel. I hope to pretty up the body, but a part of me refuses to because I am afraid I will not work it being concerned I may scuff or scratch it.

So hard to choose... so many nice vehicles with obvious blood, sweat, tears, and love applied by the owner ( or builder)

Alot of nice trucks this month as always! Looks like it is a battle between the big boys. I have to sway towards Ken this month though, he helped me just today through a phone call in dealing with an upset MK 48. His advice helped me to locate the solenoid that controls the hydraulically powered fan. Even though it turns out I was not overheating and just have some faulty sending units, him being a phone call away and having a very nicely fixed up truck won me over this time!!

Wow...no action/campaigning in 3 days??

Did I mention April is my birthday.

Naw Bro...nobody gets "spanked" and their are no losers in this competition. Even if a vehicle gets zero votes it still gets to be seen and admired by HUNDREDS of SS members and that is the real purpose of the monthly threads.

There have been winners from all classes/types of MV's...even modified ones. You just never know what vehicle will catch the eyes of the most folks and move them to actually cast a vote.

Just REMEMBER there are a LOT of HEMTTS out there, almost anybody can get one, now on the other hand, there is only ONE m1070a1B (BART), when people see it they say" WOW I sure would like to buy one", only to be told there is NO others in existence and that is the reason it was built to BE a one of a kind, so as not to be something anybody can have. Another nice thing is that the m1070a1B can recover itself as well RECOVER all the many everyday, run of the mill anybody can own trucks, BUT the run of the mill anybody trucks CANNOT recover the m1070a1B, so it is better to have a m1070a1B (one truck) then ALL the anybody can own trucks, that can not recover themself let alone other anybody can own trucks

 

[papabear]

It's a close race for sure folks!!

 

[Coffey1]

Sorry Ron but my HEMTT is not a run of the mill truck.
There is only one HEMTT like mine.
Bart is very nice truck and I like it.
The only bad thing I could ever say about it is 45mph and 2mpg.

Yes 45 and about 2mpg BUT that is pulling a whole string of dead HEMTTs starting with a lift tow, yes your HEMTT may be the only one like it, BUT it is STILL a HEMTT , looks like a HEMTT, smells like a HEMTT, works like a HEMTT , same mission as ALL the HEMTTs of the same model , REAL nice paint, lights, ect. BUT still a HEMTT. To most people, a HEMTT is HEMTT, not much difference, now the m1070a1B (BART) next to a m1070 or a m1070a1, people can see a MAJOR DIFFERENCE with the look of the same truck family but totally DIFFERENT model .
