Deuces for Newbies

[Aldebaran2]

Hello,

When I click the link entitled "Deuce FAQ article", URL of http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?102-Deuce-FAQ-Article , it does not load.

That seemed like a good place to start since I am new to military vehicles, and to be honest, vehicles in general as there is no automotive knowledge in my family.

Therefore, would you recommend things that I should read so that I might ask intelligent questions in the future?

Thanks

Thanks for the link to the site ( wowapi.net/m35a2/M35A2_experience.htm ); it was most helpful.

Any other specific sources?

And of course just reading through these opening threads in "today's posts" will educate plenty about the hobbies, various vehicles, and equipment galore. Welcome to the green disease, try to meet up with near members near to you, and attend shows and events etc.

If you don't have a lot of mechanical skills I'd suggest purchasing a truck that's had most if not all the service and repairs done to it and go from there.I hope you enjoy the site and again welcome.
