Jim, it does sorta look like her arm is off..:shock: She thought that was funny and says "Hi Jim!". Having now figured out how my scanner works, here are some of the pictures the guys shared with me. They come out rather low resolution when loaded onto SS, the originals are much clearer...

On the fuel doors of both my M1009s. The first truck is in the newer camo pattern. On the second, in the older camo pattern, the words are all lined up to the left as opposed to centered on each other, and in very faded white letters(!). The TP-35 was white too. And I found a picture of...

Welcome aboard, and Semper Fi brother! :beer: Cheers

To get technical on designations- shouldn't that be XM381E2? That is how mark numbers for experimental or non-standardized vehicles go (indicated by the X)... Nit-picky I know, but might as well do it right! :wink: Cheers

Thanks for the link. :beer: For "hard to find" try locating data plates for a V100! :) Cheers

Thanks Louie. I do have the book and will take a peek. Gotta figure out why the V has thrown that belt twice in two weeks, hopefully it is just because the alternator has gotten out of alignment. I have passed on your kind words, they were greeted with happy smiles. Cheers PS- for those...

Pawnshop, your rather surprised message telling me he had hit your 1009 arrived...10:09! From previous experience with that company, they are a major local business and when their drivers hit something (which they do with some regularity :roll:), they just go ahead and pay up promptly. Not...

Louie, seeing the reaction from you guys made all the effort that went into fixing the V up more than worthwhile. Sorry the driving got cut short by the %^$# belt coming off. :???: I'm so glad y'all had a good time, and glad that Mike is okay. It was a brutally hot day! That's why I was...

Saturday I had five veterans of the 630th MP Co., who did convoy escort with V100s in Vietnam, down for a visit. Louie, aka Baseballump, arranged the visit, and these guys came from all over the country to be here. The heat got a bit rough (106*), but other than that I think everyone had a...

What a great selection of vehicles! Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Of course, photos are mandatory once you get it! Cheers

Stock tire is 12.5x20, but 14.5x20 will fit. Cheers

Chuck, crowded or not, it was a good show and we had a ball there. And we stuffed Reloader's wife's new ride to within an inch of its capacity with booty (of the MV variety) for the trip home! Y'all did good, and we appreciate it. [thumbzup] Cheers

One of my favorite vehicles in the show (though it is almost impossible to pick favorites from so many lovely vehicles) was this one- a 1968 Chevy pickup. Part of my attraction to it was, of course, because my first vehicle was an almost identical '68 Chevy pickup, the main difference being...

Due to the crammed together display of the vehicles (out of necessity, I know, but still unfortunate), my pictures didn't come out any different than those already posted except this one of the cab. It was a good show, we had a ball, and got to talk to some great folks, but never for long...

Thank you for that!! Neat trailer. Cheers

I was poking along the tables at the show when I spotted a couple of 'possums on one of them. Finally have a face to put with the Wreckerman name! A pleasure meeting you sir, and getting to chat with some of the folks I have met at previous shows. Good fun so far, and it's just Day 1. ;-)...

At least you tried. Hang onto your stuff, you'll get more chances! Cheers

It weighs 970# if I recall correctly. Cheers

Thanks Louie. No on paying for the axle, not his fault, the higher ups apparently expect them to break stuff driving heavy equipment across that terrain. And being a Lance Corporal, he just goes where they point! He talked of driving that rig, loaded, across streams, down 3' vertical drops...
