What's that big rectangle thing sitting on top of the 302. Looks like she's Cummin along! I just moved the M211 into Duramax project with a man that also has some mad fabrication skills. We're looking forward to those engine mount recipes and photos so we can see how it's done. Nice progress.

Hey there Oklahoma, good to hear your voi......good to see y.......it's good to read your typing. The Maintenance boys didn't introduce this until 1962 which is interesting. Did the U.S. keep injury reports from maintenance depots in a museum somewhere? If the G749 bit some guys in the 10...

My northern opinion is tiny so getting more eyes on this to those who are affected may identify things we haven't considered. This line for example...........NOT for daily transportation..........If one chooses to drive to work in their MV everyday , where's the harm? """""provides that...

Let's get that verbage locked down right here on the Steel Soldiers site. Does this bill make sense to most folks? Did it cause harm to an individual or group? Anything missing? I still want to know how we got here and who's name we put to it. This is part of our history and we are going...

The best sounding deuce on the web. It's mine so the hearing may be partial.

We're going to visit Quebec regardless of the minister's decision so I'll follow-up on the events page. We should know more after the weekend with another deadline passing Jan. 30 . Let's hope avmq.org has a favourable announcement but either way it's inspired a lot of investigation, counter...

I got a call from the brother who said he needed to drop something off at the G749 farm. I plowed at the beginning of the month, how bad could it be? He was a quarter mile racer when I was growing up and I think he got just about that far once again. He went in when the snow was cold so it...

Hey welcome aboard.....that's your first post. The greeting committee will be coming along soon, they love their deuces. I don't see the typical dent in the hood or the rust along the door rocker so we'll need more pictures. Do you have the 2nd shift lever on the side of the trans tower...

Funny looking sand! It looks like home. That is such a nice truck. I got to play with one that had right hand drive and the owner took it across the continent. They seem to run forever with a little maintenance. You're in for some adventures. We'll be opening up a little museum about 3 hours...

No sir not an MV. I don't have anything that could make it. My old seat for the south is either air conditioned or heated, depending on the time of year. I get to hear the stories when the local MVPA boys hit Tower Park or whatever venue is going on across the border every year. I think...

We should take some credit up here for our share of shady and unlikely but possible confiscation. Quebec is making travel slightly mysterious still with no guarantee they wouldn't tow my deuce off a highway. If you head there I'd make fresh contacts with the law. I have made a lot of contacts...

Have you heard it run yet? Does the engine turn over by hand? Are there rats in the air intake or exhaust system? Can we isolate the fuel tank by running a clean fuel source to see if the engine will run? Do we know when it ran last? Is it likely that the truck needs some diagnostics before...

Engine oil filter type dictates whether detergent or non-detergent oils should be used. Modern fluids don't mean they are better so getting my head around fluid selection for the 1956 M135 took some research. Here's a bit of reading and a link that helped with decisions...

Is there any current state legislation in Maryland that protects historical items? I started looking through this but a bunker distracted me. https://mdcourts.gov/lawlib/research/research-guides/guide-to-md-legislative-history-research Here's another 'point of contact' and rousing up the local...

"Inform the public and educate state legislators" That sounds like a job each and every MV owner could perform at a local level. If we make the 'historical' side of MV collecting so important to the greater public that they can't live without us, we can rest. Everything seemed to be just fine...

This I gotta see! Welcome to the Early Deuce madness club EDMC. An M135 bobbed on 49's sounds like a dream truck. There was an old utility M207 that got bobbed over on the East side of the map but seeing an M135 will be a treat. Early Deuce Parts can be a bigger secret than Canada's bunker...

It's not clear how this all started but most things get started with a hummer. AM General should be lobbied to make things right when they come out with statements like this. I'm not sure if they know how difficult they've made things across the board for former military vehicle collectors...

Welcome to the hunt! You're fortunate the son took an interest in it. Enjoy those moments. I just checked the links and this page still seems to work. The guy that spent a ton of time on this page is a genius who's taller than most...

I can't help with your quest much but I can certainly welcome you over to the green addiction theater. (GAT) My buddies Dad who is still with us was a medic in the war. I pictured him on foot but I'm curious now if he had an ambulance. I will ask. That beast looks like a fresh barn find and...

It's not a Christmas miracle but the sleigh is built. The objective to release the restrictions on MV owners in Quebec has not been met. Here's a link to the English version of a website a newly formed association has assembled. http://avmq.org/?page_id=554&lang=en a snippet """""""In...
