Man, you hear all these other guys worrying about their green disease and its effect upon their wives, and you only THINK you'll marry her..... Take it from someone with a wife of 30 years who has an attitude like your fiance. DON'T SCREW IT UP, DO IT.....

My 62 is "loaned out" to a friend who has been doing all sorts of things with it. (I think he likes float testing my heart, hoping it will quit and he gets to keep the truck) Hauls wind fall trees out of the ravine, handled castings at his foundry, he makes black powder cannons. Its earning its...

Way to go, (just be thankful you don't belong to the collectors group I do, they have a special name for guys like us, it started when I got the bid for my 5 ton at 1,500.00. It starts with a, ends with e and has seven letters. I was our first, but it seems one of our members in Old Fort, Ohio...

Isn't any different in idea than the fire truck we have. A depot unit, no military, but used there.

Take heart all yea who wish for a machine of their own. The Navy has about a hundred of them (by their count) in Gulfport Miss. and yes the contractor is redoing them. Its called a Service Life Extension Program, or SLEP. They are pulling the best for rehab, and the OLD stuff is not going back...

I bought a used hardtop out of Wisconsin to swap over onto the wrecker, its top is pretty bad, too many extra holes drilled and rusty, paid 375. for it plus shipping. Found a deal on OD canvas, fire proof and all at a canvas company going out of business, got the whole bolt for 85.00. You bet...

AMEN to that Papabear, Amen to that.....

We've had it happen many times from LEO's stopping to see what we're hauling, like a Sherman, or LARC-V, or the vet who drove one of the trucks. Great info there, along with the history. But the best was at the Military History Day's show at the Ohio Veterans Home. A resident came up alongside...

We have a guy in our "Group" that keeps volunteering to do a beach landing in his MUTT from a landing craft on Lake Erie. Now that we have several, I don't hear him volunteering much.. Wonder why?? Maybe they can't swim. I'll get him to watch this, he should learn to start small, like in a...

Doesn't matter Deuce or 5 ton, crane or wrecker, it needs a good home and if nobody else wants it, Ohio has a nice place for it, right outside my window with the other one. BUT I'm sure there are those closer who also will offer it the TLC it earned and deserves. But PICTURES would be nice...

You'd think if it was part of a display it would be on a pad, not sitting in the dirt, and it looks a little "threadbare" sitting there. Hope they're not doing with those what they did with the amphibs the Marine Base in San Diego had. TRAGIC. And alot of those were one of a kind units...

With all these guys closer being interested, I'll just say if it doesn't work out for them, let me know...... It's almosy road trip time anyway, I'm getting cabin fever. But from whay I hear, its even more snow over there than we have here.:(

The guy in Maine that makes jeep parts and such, JeePanels Plus (207) 743-7671 made me a couple sets of the stakes for the 101 trailer. Really good stock and reasonable. He had to have the tooling made to do it too. So I know he can do it for you, and make the clips for storage, or just send...

You're right, working in the movies can be a real hoot. One of our "Group" members is big into that stuff. He does alot of pyro work as well as black powder cannons for old style events in them, "Gods and General's", "Last Samurai" and others. He manufactures them custom as well. From "book end...

There seems to an awful lot of trailer, 3/4 ton 101, and 1 1/2 ton 105's along with others on Govt. Liquidators web. all look to be in good shape, many are complete with bows racks and canvas. (and there goes the trailer market for a while when all these get out) so you should be able to get...

Yep, on a trailer is the ONLY way I like to see those things, salvaged a couple out of the river in Viet Nam. Led me to believe the egghead engineers were right (aerodynamically incapable of flight) But fly they did, and I owe my life to a couple US Army Warrant pilots who flew them like...

Man what a job... Really looking great. Saw these "animals" working in Viet Nam. Would love to have one in my barn, but I'm afraid it wouldn't fit... That truck is going to be awsome. Good luck with her..

Really nice, Man, everybody seems to be gettin one of those things.. Could use one here, we're thinkin about relocating "City Hall', INTO THE BAY......... That would just about do it for us.:lol:

I could be interested too, but an estimated amount and its location would help. We're looking for a dump, they're kind of 'dear' here abouts and well thats alot of work but the price is most likely something we can afford

The major problem is all these 'limp-wristed morons" who are afraid they may offend someone with the real story of what happened during the war. They are re-writing history everywhere, not just re-naming days. Where did Armistice Day go? Yeah, Yeah, its "Veterans Day", well, Veteran's Day could...
