    Preview inspection appointment?

    Selfridge is the largest ANG base with no commercial airport. It is definately a closed base. The GL rep must provide your name to the Air Force SPs to get in. The GL rep posted his cell in another thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/inspection-preview-questions/54935-mt-clemens-whos-going.html

    Any issues towing a M116a2 with a Dodge 1/2 ton?

    Good info on the safety chains Coyotegray! I didnt think about the existing ones being to short! I'll hit Tractor Supply before I head out. I have the DOT5 and magnetic brake lights. What size wheel should I bring as a spare?

    Mt Clemens - Who's going?

    These trucks have been on that lot for about 2 years. All have dead batts. The 109s in the pics are going to the Phillipines. Just m35a2s in the sale. I think 1 or 2 have winches the others are WO/W.

    Best Thing You've Found in Your CUCV

    Bought a M105A2 trailer last year. When I previewed it I saw it had tarp and bows and two mounted steel chests up near the front with lots of drawers.

    Thats it, I'm officially addicted to MVs. Picked up my M35-A2C and M105A2 from GL in Mt Clemens MI earlier this week and I love em both. The GL guys there were very helpful, they had the trailer rigged up to the deuce and had the deuce running when I arrived to pick up. The batts were dead as...

    Any info appreciated

    Thank you Recovry4x4, I wasnt sure. So 1972 is safe bet? If so I'll go with that for the plates. In Michigan we can plate for the model year, all I have to do is come up with the plates. Not a problem with Ebay. I'm still trying to get my head around all this. Another MV collector is born.....
