Got the Deuce to the car wash and got all the airborne crud washed off. Now were due for more 40mph winds tonight. :doh: Later today I'll have the tire store rotate the front tires.

@kendelrio me too Ken. I thought mentioning that Bertha was a Grateful Dead song would generate some votes. Well I was wrong, I guess there aren't to many Dead Heads here. This month started a little slow, but what a great finish. 🍺

Glad to hear your out of the hospital. Now that your home you can start recovering. [thumbzup]

Congrats Fuzzy. Well done!!! 🥇

Most people do not understand that these MVs become part of the family. Daisy's come a long way, looking good. [thumbzup]

I finished reinstalling the fuel tank yesterday and all seems well. No leaks. The new fuel tank sending unit seems to work fine, and I added grade 8 hardware to the fuel tank hold down straps. We had a large wind storm come through early this week so today I'm going to wash the truck and vacuum...

Ahab, 0.54 and at 1.38 he comes over low then shoots the skyscrapers.

Ken is working hard to make Bertha a safer and more enjoyable MV. The backup camera and tv are a great way to prevent accidents, and a good way, to get a look at the pretty girl in the car behind you. Also the camera wiring routed to the rear of the truck is simple and tidy. The dome (map...

Bertha even has a designated cleaning crew. Bertha is so popular that even the Grateful Dead wrote a song called Bertha.

A few months back Ken picked up a set of convoy lights for Bertha. As you can see there's a lot more to installing a pair of these lights than meets the eye.

Wish I had a garage big enough for my Deuce. Poor old girl sits outside all winter. :cry:

Scrubbed the fuel tank inside and out, and gave the exterior a coat of Woodland Green. Also replaced the gas cap with a new one from Bigmike. Will make a run to NAPA then slide the fuel tank back in the truck.

When Ken purchased Bertha there were some areas that needed some TLC, and one of these areas was the seats. They were a bit weathered and torn so Ken removed them from the truck, and turned them over to his much better half. Ken's girlfriend must have some experience in the upholstery business...

With the fuel tank removed, I was able to remove the forward r/h splash guard. It was a bit tweaked, so I straightened it out with a hard rubber mallet and a couple of 2X4s. It had a lot of excess paint that was flaking, so I spent some time with the sander and got rid of the crusty paint. Then...

Beautiful Black German Shepard. The truck is nice too. :)

Guys I volunteered for this assignment along with my partner in crime m715mike. In the past I have entered my M35A2C and M38A1. So doing an MV of the Month on Ken's M923A2 Bertha is a new challenge. I have never owned a 5 Ton, but I want to do Bertha right. I'll start with some basic information...

Chaplain, ask and ye shall receive. A DC-3/C-47 fuselage grafted on to a truck chassis = one cool motorhome. :cool:

Love the Amber headlights, they go well with the yellow lettering.
