Best place to fly into, etc? I don't have a vehicle so that also brings up a question: Transportation/lodging?

I was definitely going to make a point of meeting Glen when I was in KS, but never actually pulled it off.

I'm sure that could be arranged. Biggest thing would be lodging, or people buddying up in others' trucks...

I pictured a drive-in, but a fly-in could generate more attendance!

This idea popped into my head in January while flying back up to Fairbanks from an MV stint outside Minot, North Dakota: Alaska get-together perhaps? There are a few of us Deuce/5 ton guys in and around Anchorage and Fairbanks, plus other areas. One fellow member suggested maybe everyone...

I'm sure this has been asked a million times over the 20 years of Steel Soldiers' existence by now, but I didn't find anything relevant with my search terms, or looking through the -10: '91 M923A2: Roommate's truck. We went to get it running today for the first time since parked October 2019...

It's impossible to forget. Memories to last a lifetime!

Redbaron1, keep us posted!

I've often thought the same- the things these trucks watch day after day, sometimes year after year.

I commend you for piecing her back together!

Looking good. Deuce restorations are fun albeit lengthy projects.

Any idea what they're asking on the 5 ton M939 series there?

Ah. I look forward to riding with someone or doing such a trip myself...in an M939. One day...

Pat, what sort of vehicle were you driving?

That M939 needs rescuing...

In!

VWilkins, hello from another Californian! I've talked to Buffalo here about going along...maybe we can all coordinate somehow? I don't currently have a truck that runs but am happy to ride shotgun with someone.

Having worked with you for a couple weeks I'd say my experience was that even in such condition you were strong as a bull compared to my thin, lanky, unchallenged stature. In a way I've been surprised when I found I could pick up and roll a G177 w/wheel & rim. I myself prefer power steering...

21 here, soon to be 22. Never really got familiar with the Canadian Deuce, was it their own take on the M35A3?

I'll keep that in mind! Gary's Truck in Anchorage also comes to mind. Perhaps my intuition of M35s being cheap and plentiful in Alaska was indeed founded at least partially on reality...
