Another new guy from Michigan.

I just traded for a M109 that needs some work. I just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting. I will post pics when I find out what I did with my camera.

Hello Bill

Hey Joe:
Welcome to the site. You need to check out the Michigan Museum of Military Transport and the Great Lakes MVPA. We have a web site (just Google the name) and an event in Grayling the end of this month (Sept 26-27-28 ). It is the BIG one of the year. For insurance reasons you need to be a member, but oddly enough, we can take care of that right there. Feel free to PM me if you like. Bring the 109 if it'll run that far. You'll have a ball.

A later edit. Wow, how'd I get a smiley face in there? I don't think I did that. Even this site knows how much fun we have at Grayling

I havent made the grayling event yet, but one of these years i will.

No pics yet but I found out that the truck was built in 1977 by AM General. It's a multi fuel truck but it has decals on the engine that say that it has been converted to diesel use only and needs to be converted back. The brakes have a leak somewhere and the fuel system needs to be cleaned out, the diesel fuel in the tank is kind of smelly. It has some rusted through areas on the box and the fenders will have to be replaced eventully. Dispite my mechanical background, I will take all the help I can get. I'm not sure if I should turn the box in to a camper or shorten the truck to a 4x4. One thing is for sure, my wife says" Just get rid of it." I'm sure most of them say that.

Joe, did Your truck come from the Flat Rock area ?

Joe, did Your truck come from the Flat Rock area ?

Yes, chances are that you have seen it. It was sitting next to a crane. I saw where you are on the map, so I'm sure you've seen it.
