You actually might find out the steering wheel is still available even after 9 years the way time flies and the way we....keep......things. That looks like your first post so welcome aboard and everyone will help you 'steer' in the right direction to 'navigate' the site as you 'wheel' around...

I believe AM General had a revelation after someone somewhere in some department found out how important military vehicles are to some people. I saw a flip in response from AM General right around the time Quebec Canada tried to limit or ban MV's. I asked AM General what their position was and...

I had a second to stumble into the barn today and the first book I grabbed has a section . . . . ."How to Locate Repair Parts". That's always handy. Here are a few snap shots.

15 posts in and you already bought a wrecker....nice!.....You have the infliction and should probably wear a mask or an entire fleet will show up. Is that the 6602 continental gasser? It's a beaut! I believe we have the same carb so I'll have kits/parts/seals and complete carbs if you don't...

You're new here so welcome to the experience. I overheard through the raisin vine that ex-military vehicle insurance is becoming a challenge in B.C. Make a call to ICBC just to see what they say before shopping. Give us the heads up on the information you're getting because it's real important...

The photographers let me borrow a few pictures of the trucks at work. I asked the wizard how they designate them these days. I learned more than I wanted again. """""""In 2005, the US Army ordered 2900 7,000-MV for the Afghan National Army and Iraqi Ministry of Defense and an additional order...

Canada may have wished for that truck and maybe even wrote the spec.....sorry. I don't hear a lot of good things about the Internationals up here. It's been a decade so let's hope they have the bugs worked out. We needed extra fellas to help repair them back in 2013....and 2016...

I was going to email this DC-3 story back to you Merle but let's share it here and you can tell me if it's ever happened to you. Dad flew to Whitehorse after the war to build an airport and on one of the flights they took a DC-3. The seats were configured down the side of the aircraft walls...

I can't wait to hear it. We'll need a comparison audio when you get a chance. Very cool.......

It's a new year of texting and driving so we're looking for some catchy 2021 phrases for bumper stickers. All I have so far is "When you drive....look outside". The little two lane highway by our farm has seen two men killed already this year. They were both head on collisions with...

The green Western Stars look old compared to your truck. Very nice selection. It may not be an MV.........but it was, I found a few pics of the MV Star.

It's so cool to see campers still being hand built these days, thanks for sharing it. I started building in the 80's and wondered if you considered aerodynamics with your build....as well as strength? This one was just big enough to stand up in, lay down, bend over, light a candle and still have...

What?.....you were plane nuts before you were MV nuts just like me? Now you need to give up that story........In the Congo? Did you put a little in service bio together documenting any of those stories? I get the fellas to do a W5 report of non-combat stories that Goose can carry around for...

Are you coming up here or do I get to bring some essential steel down? Essentially, I'll have 3 blocks off frames and 1 going back on so if I do the math right, I should have 4 spares. I thought of you because my neighbour of 28 years asked "When are you going to scrap that stuff?" I guess...

Spring Pre-Start was hilarious today so let's go through Goose for her 10th anniversary after preservation and look at pictures. I hunt bunkers for fun and some of the folks I meet have historical blood that won't let go. One of the more seasoned Police commissionaires that guided me on my...

One solution would be to take a pick axe to the trailer tonight and scratch it up. I joke, all my trailers were new at one time, I know the feeling. One fella up here pulls the 40 footers in with a 1 Ton and a funky tilt/dump trailer. Another guy uses a semi-winch truck with the cable running...

C-47's, DC-3's, War Birds,.......that get flight time. The Red stripe aircraft is a legend from scrap to flight in something like 156 days.........Come on, there is a year of video talking all about it with a Northern LEGEND of a man that helped keep them going.........all with heart...

The work needed to pass a mechanical inspection so it needed to be put together just right. It was put together just right!

This photo showed up maybe ten years ago....I think it was a 502.....interesting. The Duramax allowed this old 55 Army truck to hit the highway and get back to its old military base 65 years later. The truck served Penhold Alberta from 1955 to 1979 and getting it back to the base in 2021 was...

Have you ever been in a car that does 13 seconds in the quarter mile? It's a kick in the chest if you're in the passenger seat. We're not sure what the M211 does yet but I lost my breathe today with Betty, the Whistlin' Duramax Deuce. He drove the duramax through the original TC ...for now...
