I didn't have a lot of video time but I grabbed a minute of pure 50's for our ears.
The G749 Farm was abuzz working under our very own Covid Response and Awareness Program Systems. That's right, we got the C.R.A.P. S. at the farm.
Getting signed up early means I'll be the first one going to...
Your first post and you have my favorite early, early Deuce....a 1951? Welcome aboard and I hope you can share some pictures. USMC-008 has an early serial number but we're always looking for the "Earliest", early deuce. Would you mind sharing the last digits of the stamped number? It should read...
I like the big wheel look and miss my 1010 adventures. Your truck looks like an M1010 should look after service. Never sell it and get a deuce to keep it company or you'll write sad stories. Your truck has a Great story from start to finish, thanks for updating.
We put this one back to parade...
Grabbing some video is always a good way to remember an old truck before it's gone. What sucks is I didn't come down and grab some video....or get to drive it....or squirt some water. lol. We'll get our Jellybean set up one day and everyone can come up for a squirt, ......meanwhile.
The things they couldn't tell you because we might find out why we don't have any spare tailgates laying around. To those who served, saved fuel by hauling your spares and helping the MVironment, thank you.
Gunfreak started this thread almost ten years ago. Let's fill it up. Thank's Gunfreak.
There are too many guys to thank them all so if you see your photo, Thank you. Thanks to DM on CMV for letting us get it together in one spot. To all that serve, Thank you. Enjoy the history.
This project sure took off. The M211 is getting the 2007 Duramax and the good lad that bought it is off to a running start. I don't mean it's running, I mean he must be running to get this far. We named this truck More when it came to the G749 farm in a 3 truck deal with Larry and Curly. It had...
What a lucky truck. With that list you gave out most folks would have parked it in a field. When I saw the first picture I thought the hood looked straight and that'd be enough for me to drag it home. Another truck with a chance to haul humans, nice work.
What did you do for the engine? The...
Is there a Prairie civilian equivalent to that? I'm guessing that's the stuff West coast hippies use in their pottery classes or on their ferries?
I tried finding the seal that would rot down and cause spline seep but this thing is so full of holes it's surprising there's oil in there.
The...
I gotta look to see what they used on the fasteners in the maintenance depot. Whatever it was it works great. My deuce was buried in deep mud in a coal mine at one time. We chiseled.......I chiseled chunks of mud out from behind the airpak, air tanks and all the pockets through the frame. It...
Norm sent soft tops North of the border and one set got in the hands of a Lcol. Norm's real popular up here and Brian's filled our shelves too. Thank goodness someone absorbed and stored the New Old Stock.
The picture on the left, .....my son painted those those troop seats. That's a cool...
I had to make that bigger for the doubters out there. That stuff usually comes from a guy named Norm in a dark alley somewhere in downtown California.
Can you tell us the story or did the confidentiality agreement come out? Congratulations!
I remember that day getting Goose ready for...
That's a WORKING
Bantam crane and backhoe?
It runs and moves? I see the hood up but I can't quite see the engine. Whatcha got under the hoods? I'd never guess but if I did would I guess 270? Thank you for sharing that.
Do you have a kid around with a smart phone that can take some video for...
Under full Covid Response Plan (CRP) practices and operating within Federal Laws, we saved another Deuce today. Thar she goes.
When a trucker became available, suddenly, I got the call and Moore the M211 is off to her new home near her first home. It's actually monumental because the...
I have the manuals and get a kick out of research so anytime. We started making a needs list but everything can be replicated here, up here, way up here. We're fairly complete with the only repairs needed to the top cannons, front drive shaft, the area in the circle.....and the unknown engine...
