New So. Cal. Member

[Bad_Carp]

Hi everyone, just joined the site yesterday and thought I should say hello and mention what a great site this is.

I just recently picked up a 1965 Kaiser M109A3 and am converting it to a motorhome on the inside only...outside will be all MV.

Love the info on here and can't wait to meet a few fellow MV owners (also have a buddy with an M35A2 that joined yesterday).

Welcome! Nice to have another MVer in SOCAL. I have a M109A3/M35 - pretty much a M109 with the bog ripped off and a bed put on.

Welcome

Yes nice to have another So-Cal MV in the ranks.
I've only been a member here for a few months.
I've met a few members that are local to me .

Lots of info here.

Welcome! Good to see another So Cal person. We might outnumber the east coasties...eventually

Is that the M109a3 that was on ebay a couple weeks ago?

 

[Bad_Carp]

Yes, you must be one of the other 2 people that made offers on it?

Has a lot of rust that I have to deal with, but that will just make the completed project that much more special (that much more work).

All us west-coasters need to get together someday... all 8 of us...

I inquired about the truck but saw the cancer on the upper edges of the box and got scared. That cancer would definately turn to leprosy here in WA state:-0. Plus the whole CA CDL thing and not being able to take 6-8 weeks off to take the truck drivers class for the CDL kind of put a stop on that idea. I would love to get a CDL just for the knowledge but need to get that time off to do it. WA state now makes it a requirement for classroom instructions unless you have a company involved w/trucks that can vouch for you. Don't think I'll find one of those working in a pharmacy

I've got a great way around Kalifornia's CDL nonsense: Bolt a bunkbed to the floor and call it a "Housecar"
