Thanks. I was just thinking that in the Netherlands you are NOT allowed to carry blue lights, even not functional, unless you are a recognized emergency vehicle or state vehicle. Official emblems often have to be removed to show that you are no longer an official town vehicle.

Narrowed it down to Tracer and Glenngineer. If it would be an older dump, would be easier. Glenngineer, some more pics?

Time for some more canvassing The wrecker (73m819) at it's standard place at the 2014 GA Rally, next to the TeePee which Ron used as his place.

I would say a truck cannot be older than a contract number (date of the start of the contract) but a contract number can definitely be older than the truck?

migginbros, what is it with the emblem of the town on your truck and the blue light? tracer, what color you used for that truck?

I saw the thing on top of a large container (or two together) and my mouth fell open like wtf is THAT??? o_O o_O

Not so quick with the dates, I ended up with almost certainly the wrong MFG date on my truck. It now mentions 1973, but that is definitely the date of overhaul. All other signs point at 1965. To quote myself from the same CARNAC thread Try find a VIN number or a hood number. When I started...

The voting is already open several hours and only two posts for canvassing. Wake up contestants, I am waiting :coffee: :roll: :coffee: Question for PB and Patracy: are the contestants automatically subscribed for the voting thread so they keep being alerted and see the need for canvassing?

This week I drove my son and one of his apprentice blacksmith students to an art exhibition in Vienna, Austria. That stuff does not really turn me on, always said I am a culture barbarian. So I used the time to visit another "exhibition": Camo, a surplus vendor just 20 km south of Vienna. Good...

Just to emphasis this for others; as mentioned earlier by Carnac and Dave Doyle, vehicle information can be incomplete or even sometimes wrong. Case in point is my M51A2. Almost certainly it was manufactured and brought into service in 1965 in the USA, and sold as surplus in 1999 or early 2000...

Carnac, great work, this will be a help for all of us, thread should be a major sticky. For one moment, I was hoping this would help me further with solving my mystery, but auaauaauaauaaua , no such luck. The only good thing I found is that the trucks listed immediately before and after mine...

Lest we forget Today it is one year ago that Ron, our good friend and fellow Steel Soldier member, died. As long as we remember, he will not truly be gone.

Great, you should visit both our museum and the blacksmith workshop, and get your hands dirty. Hopefully, restoring the 1953 NSU Konsul 1 will be ready and the bike out to my nephew in Switserland, but there should still be some help needed with the M51A2 restoration rofl. Bikes and...

Country, then alphanumerical, maybe with link to member profile?

Maybe for those not in the know we should explain the entry of 73m819 a bit more. Ron (73m819 ) was a quiet but well liked and respected member of our SteelSoldiers family with an amazing amount of technical knowledge of our trucks (and a healthy dislike of CUVCs :ROFLMAO: ). He did not mid...

One page of canvassing and eight contestants .. probably not that bad for the last month of the year with all the festivities and stress. Remembered to vote in the nick of time .. only to find that the poll is closed already :mad: :mad: :mad: Ah well, mamabear is waayyy ahead anyway, so...

just testing. Can you post that car on the nice non-MVs thread?

At least it works nicer on my iphone than before. Great job. I noticed I did not get ANY message from steelsoldiers the last 2 days. Was that because of the move or did something go wrong with suscribed thread notification?

Did some more reading up about it, some sites provide conflicting information.It looks like they started with the concept of a modified M151 and actually did use Mutt parts in the original phases, but the final and upgraded product was not using parts of the Mutt anymore, the price was doubled...
