Dale, I appreciate your question even though I don't have an LMTV. Would like to, but none yet. I appreciate the thoroughness of your documentation for each step you went through on this project. Keep up the good work and I look forward to following your future projects.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado.

Apologies. Thought it would be OK as I did not mention a specific auction. However, will not make any auction reference in future. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing. I see several are coming out on an auction site. Might even be good just for spare parts. Be interested to hear what others think on current $$$ value.

Must be WWI or earlier. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Thanks for the reply on your genny setup. I am planning on doing something similar. UPS and an ATO would be sweet but expensive especially for such a small set up. Like you, I think manual would suit my needs and lifestyle just fine. I sure would like to see your rig in person. Bit of a...

You may have covered this before so I hope I am not asking you to repost something--Can you describe your electric setup as in UPS, transfer switches etc. It did look like you had a separate battery for starting the genny -correct? Any other special safety or controls such as remote start and...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Nice recovery. It looks like the cab doors are lightly armored or have some sort of extension on them? Also curious about the box in the bed? Electrical shelter?

OOps--never mind about the fire service comment. Oldsheimer kicking in here.

Obviously a somewhat rare truck. Cool that you could save it. I see some sort of emblem on the drivers door. Forest Service Fire ? Perhaps it was converted to some sort of fire tanker in its life. Let us know how your search for info progresses. Thanks for posting up the photos.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado!

Looks pretty dang good. Even with out a tear down for paint, I bet he did a lot of masking. The prep work/ clean up is what seems to take the most time for me.

I will be doing some tranny/transfer work and in the process changing the oils. I have been following the "oil" discussion and can relate to your hard won knowledge on oil weights. Hope the syncros and gears have survived the somewhat brief immersion in 30 weight. I presume you are going to...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. MV's can definitely make rugged off road campers. Kinda cool around the KOA too!

Cantrade--very good job! Great photos and diagnosing the problem followed a good thought process. Good to have all the great folks on the forum sharing there thoughts as well. While I don't have this problem with my MV ( at the moment anyway), I will definitely store your shared experience...

Tigertank--can you confirm what wheels you are referring to please? Is it a true two piece bolt together rim with an O ring gasket between the halves? Or is it a Budd type wheel with a ring on the outside of the main rim that snaps into place holding the tire on. The latter being called a...

Why not do one as an experiment. You seem to be fairly confident that it might work. Would your goal also be to convert it from tube and flap to just tubeless? I think the welding would get a bit more complicated as you would have to make sure it was completely air tight. You would need to...

I have worked with the mentally incompetent and I can tell you they have fear as well. I understand what you are saying though. In my opinion, what they "seem" to lack sometimes is the ability to perform appropriate decision making. Stupid people sometimes suffer from the same condition. I...
