As mentioned in another thread, the event listing has been corrected to include the M915-series (which it was intended to along - the ommission was made by me) in the contest. Best, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

I don't know what hotel you all booked at, but the Courtyard and DoubleTree are directly across the street from the convention site, and the Aloft is about a block away (easy walk). If you book with the MVPA reservation codes (seen on the MVPA website), you will get several perks (mostly...

The thread "where did all the big trucks go?" also pertains to the convention. Best, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Yes, I have confirmed, in writing from AM General, that it is 5-ton and up, so M916 is definitely in. Sorry for the slow response, we had a sudden, unexpected death in the family that took me away from things olive drab for several days. David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

There are over 170 vendor spaces booked so far. While there are STILL a few outdoor vendor spaces left (you can register by clicking here), so far, these are among those in attendance: David Doyle Tom Murray John Bizal George Baxter Bill Finley Mark Strassel Jay Higgins Portrayal Press For the...

perfect - this the document that I needed to carry this further. Thank you. My contact is out of the country - having left yesterday (which is why I had pushed hard early), but I will pass this along in about a week. Thanks, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

I have spent a good bit of time looking for any posting of a scan, or even the verbatim text, of the letter that AM General supposedly sent, to no avail. I will be happy to try to help resolve this issue - if someone will send me the letter. I have the ear of the AM General, who is personally...

I just asked the president of the company about this (the fellow whose idea the sponsorship was) about this, and his words were: "I've never heard of this, get me a copy of the letter and I will look into it" - so the ball is now in our court. DD

Yes, it was built in South Bend

M939 and M939A1 series trucks were built exclusively by AM General, the A2 series were built by BMY/Harsco. Best, David

I have confirmed that their intent is 5-ton and up - that was made by AM General, and have corrected the MVPA website to reflect this. The M915 series were built by AM General using a chassis designed by Tulsa-based Crane Carrier Corp (their Centaur I) - and CCC was paid a licensing fee by AM...

It this point, odds are certainly in your favor!

Hi guys, For the past several years my work has kept me from participating in the forum at all (or pulling wrenches on my trucks), so sorry for rolling in almost out of nowhere. This year, as you may have heard, AM General is the primary sponsor of the MVPA Convention, August 10-August 13 in...

Thanks everyone for your interest! Keith129, if you will reach out to me through my website and provide your full name and shipping address, I will set you up to select your books. Best wishes, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Hi Guys, I am deep in the midst of finishing up my Studebaker US6 book, and the need to pay bills won't really allow me to stop and go wading through a mountain of 5-ton data - but in short, as incredible as it may seem, some M39 trucks were rebuilt into M809-series trucks. As I recall, this...

While others may have information about the service life of a vehicle, I have only information concerning the manufacture of the vehicles. Best, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Post (or email me) your contract number and I can tell you who built it and and probably when. With the serial number I can be more precise. Best, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Denise and I will there, just inside the door of Building A - with a big pile of books. Hope to see all of you there! David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com

Unfortunately I just saw this note (I have been WAY behind on my writing for longer than I can remember, and thus not able to spend much time on the forum). I do not doubt that you were told that several years ago (and I even have a suspicion about who said it) - HOWEVER, I have been on the...
