Karl I sent you a email. I would be more than happy to find some others who share the intrest in MVs and who could help me and who I could help. I do not think I own the MVs I think I just hold them until the next guy carries the torch. We need to keep the memorys alive. Eddy
I will keep SS apraised of the progess on this one. I sent the NDMVA a email a long time ago asking if they wanted a member from the great white north and never got an answer. I go to Minot a lot and have even talked to a couple of the guys there at Motor Magic but again no intrest in me. I have...
Dukw
There were two of them I bought the one that was not in the fire over a month ago but was deployed out of the country for a while and now am back. Eddy
Tryed Gypshim never even got a responce and have heard nothing from anyone else. I asked several places for a price and never got any answers at all. I did not ask anyone to meet a price just asked for a price and nothing. Eddy
Saw this one in Xian and I had seen one like it before in Shanghia but did not get a pic of that one. It is quite a bit bigger than a jeep but much smaller than a Humvee. It has normal axel setups but with a lot of wheel travel. Diesel power. Eddy

Thanks for all the help guys. I got it home and it ran great. Lots of power and I had to watch that I did not go over red line as it kept wanting to go faster. I am quite happy with the truck. It has one small leak when it is hot but all else seems great. Thanks again. Eddy
I am picking it up in Minot ND and there is a railroad loading ramp there I can use to load the car and I know of one here too so I can unload it. The old tarp is being used by the old owner to cover the box on it as a 2' section has been added to it. He gave me a new tarp but there are no bows...
I did a search but did not find anything about preperation for a trip with a duece. Here are pics of the truck. The added on box will be removed and I got a new tarp but no bows. Eddy
