Ken, none of the manuals for this beast are in the canvas pouches on the side. Do you know where they can be found either in cyber space or hard copy? :?: I am working this weekend so I won't have time to take one to the shop and give it the once over. We have some NBC guys in the unit so I...

I am going to buy the $500.00 trailer. :D When I went back to get a better look at it I was told that there were also some other MV's (trucks and jeeps) and that I could go scrounging through the yard. 8) I ran across these CHEMICAL SHELTER TRAILERS out on the back forty. :shock: They...

It appears that there is more to this tale than first met the eye. See my new posting under DECON TRAILER. :?:

Hookin......I emailed the contact info to ya. Good luck. If you buy it and I am up that way I will assist any way I can.

Ref the winter front question......You can always do the "redneck winter front", i.e a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator. :idea: When I drove a bus at Fort Benning I did this a lot since we were too far south to have the buses equipped with factory winter fronts. :shock: This...

Just one more reason not to live in a communist state. :lol: SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!! :D No vehicle inspections, I never bought a building permit in my life, no inspectors to pay off and I never paid a union member a dime if I didn't want to. 8)

To quote a sage philosopher: "you can't gold plate a turd". :roll:

So I guess the consensus it that five hundred bucks for a trailer that has never been used is not a bad deal. :) I have a military mission that will take me to within twenty miles of the yard so I may go over and take some pics. I will try to have them posted by Sat. Thanks for the input. 8)

It was sitting in a briar patch and the skeeters were using me a primary food source so I didn't get a good close look. It has some type of cover but it didn't look like standard tarp and bows. It may have had something in it but I was in a hurry and couldn't probe too much. I'm going back...

While scrounging through a local bone yard I came across a brand new 1 1/2 ton military trailer. :shock: It was purchased from the manufacturer by a private party and never went to the government. 8) The owner never used it and it was purchased by the salvage yard at an auction. It is...

That is a great truck :D I lust for a wrecker like that. 8) Is there a commandment for that, "thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wrecker"? :?: There are still three wreckers close to me for sale. "Old yeller" (gasser, $2400.00) and two green ones (7k each). They aren't in as good of shape...

Devilman that is one fantastic job. 8) As to any carping from the purest I would say this: In any automotive hobby involving vehicles you have the stock crowd, the upgrade crowd and the wild mods crowd. It's your vehicle and you only have to please yourself. :) I can see that vehicle with a...

What is the exact date for this event :?: Maybe if I make long term plans I will actually get to attend a MV event. 8)

Make sure the burner unit is in there. It should be in the very bottom. The units I am most familiar with ran on gasoline. They are pretty good. :) You could fry, grill, bake, boil and heat a large tent with them. You had to pressurize the burner unit to atomize the fuel. This was...

There are HEMMT cabs going on the Gov. Liq. block in Montgomery, AL on 10/23/2006. That is 80 miles from were I am stationed and about 130 miles from my shop.

I spent a total of 2 1/2 years in (south) Korea and traveled a lot. I went to several Royal Army of Korea (ROK) bases and it amazed me how much of our old equipment they had modified and were still using. They still have the old straight axle jeeps, the M-37s and the old deuces and 5 tons. They...

Well again it appears that I have missed a good chance to meet the faithful. :( This time it was due to my oldest son being here on leave. He just got back from Iraq and we were trying to do some family things. (when I mentioned the meeting the wife gave me that look) I had high hopes for the...

I have plenty of time to find a vehicle since my retirement is at least two years away. There is also the chance I could still get an all expense paid trip to the neather regions of this planet and my MV would have to sit up for six months at a time while I was gone. :( The same guy said he...

David....point well taken. I want a MV to use when I retire. I have a tractor I will pull around and I want to be able to haul a load. It will not be a CONCORS (?) restoration or a representation of any vehicle I drove in the Army. It will be a beast of burden and will probably be run hard and...

Thanks for all the input. I had a deuce on my GL watchlist and it sold today for less than 2k. It didnt' have a winch and had rust issues too. Sounds like you guys are on the money. I didn't speak to the owner in person so he might deal if I showed him the color of my money. SETOYTA....If I...
