I nominate my M151a1. (MERDC in the rear) This picture was taken when myself and MVPA President Kevin Emdee were displaying our 151s at the Patton Museum (Ft Knox, KY) for a cadet class graduation ceremony this past Friday.

I was in Dubois, WY, for the 4th of July parade and caught a pic and a video of two separate FAVs in Dan Stark's collection. Based on the rest of the collection, I'd be surprised if he doesn't have more FAVs. The other is in this video at 16 seconds- And here is a FAV at the Sam Werner...

My son and I were at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, WY, on July 4. Unfortunately it was closed. (Fortunately we got to see the parade!) There are two M26 tractors sitting outside at the museum though. You can just make out the second behind the first.

Well worth going to this military vehicle show and swap meet. There were more than 30 vehicles last year, including a M5 Stuart and a UH-1 Huey that could be ridden for a donation. I believe camping is permitted on site, and October is Kentucky's driest month. Google KILROY Chapter for...

I was just getting ready to post a new thread in this forum- The KILROY chapter of MVPA is having it's annual show and swap meet Oct. 18-19, Bullitt Co. Fairgrounds, outside of Shepherdsville, KY. Last year's event had around 30 or more military vehicles including a M5 Stuart and a UH-1 Huey...

I never get enough pictures. But here are a few I took. Some of the attendees put a lot of time in setting up their living history displays. Clark Airborne dozer. Several 1/4 tons in the barn M718 Ambulance UH-1 Huey taking off A friend, his son, and myself going for a ride in a M5...

My M151 and Mule got a bath waiting to head up this morning. Hope it stops raining before I unload.

That certainly has to make you feel good about buying the right truck. Congratulations on the easy journey.

He really did. I bought it from his widow- so unfortunately didn't get to meet him or hear any stories. But did find this build thread he posted here- Mule Hauler I'd like to get a set of M101 side rails and canopy to see if they do in fact fit.

It's a M116 frame, and the previous owner built sides and tailgate to look like a M101, but it's wider. He specifically built it to carry a M274 mule. Also cut the inside of the fenders out to gain width. (Mule is 48" wide).

I used my 3/4 ton for cleaning up some Cherry in the back yard. And it struck me why I like mil vehicles so much. I did not serve, but have always loved military trucks, jeeps, and trailers. I grew up in the 80s playing with GI Joe. Now I’m in my 40s and I get to play with full sized toys.

There will be a UH-1 Huey at this event. Rides available!

Some auctioneers are so lazy. I'm sure it's a coincidence that this auction with a lot of MIL vehicles is the same weekend as a local Rally, but it's no coincidence that other than one ad in the MVPA magazine, and a very poorly designed website with limited pictures, there is nothing out there...

Saw this auction advertised in the MVPA magazine. Very poorly put together website, but at least it does have enough pictures to generate interest. I haven't seen it shared on any of the military vehicle forums I'm on- I hesitate to share it here, because it could cause someone to pay more...

I didn't drive my MV to the museum, but it was a road trip for the purpose of looking at MVs, so that's why I'm putting this post in this forum. I only found out about the museum about a month ago from a friend that had been. It's only opened on Friday and Saturday, and I planned my arrival...

Last night's Mule project was cutting a "horse stall mat" to fit the deck. Not a difficult job, and turned out pretty well for an ugly mat. I took the Mule to a gun range in Spencer, TN a couple of weeks ago to assist in clearing some trails that will be used for a run and gun competition...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Most of the vets I've talked with when they see my M151 just tell me "I put a lot of miles on the 151."

Keep the pictures coming!

I appreciate what you do to save the M151! Have a fun trip.

I volunteered to help out cleaning some trails for an upcoming shooting competition to benefit the Special Forces Association, Chapter 38. The Mule was a hit, as well as very useful to transport chain saws, fuel, etc deep into the woods.
