First time caller long time fan

Made a few posts elsewhere already but now that I've got some pics up I figured I'd show off my first MV rustbucket in here.

She's not the prettiest specimen but she runs great, and I only had to weld the exhaust to get her to pass MO safety inspection. I didn't have any problem getting insurance either, luckily the truck was already MO titled when I got it. Anyone have a end gate handle they'd want to sell me? This one seems to be falling apart.

Apparently I just swapped in a LMC Truck rear window regulator for...a broken LMC Truck rear window regulator. Not liking that situation either.

welcome to ss and nice rust bucket!

Welcome to SS.

Welcome to the site and here's a tip. Don't call her a rust bucket where she can hear you. If you talk nice and stroke her once in a while she will take care of you.

Call her names and you will be in deep chit. Sort of like a wife only a lot less expensive....

Yeah it's like a wise man once said, if it's got t*ts or tires it's gonna cost you a lot of money and cause you a lot of heartache.

Welcome!

The West Texas Detachment of the SteelSoldiers welcomes the new guy with his Bust-Rucket from the Show-Me-State aboard find a bunk, stow your gear, as we are already underway

Mentioning the Show-Me-State of Missouri, THANKS for showing US your pics, 'cause as you seem to already know......
... and this applies to EVERY thread

Again.... W E L C O M E

 

[chief1983]

Thanks all. Since you mention the Show-Me State, I'd love to show the truck off in person but I didn't see much mention of any rallies near my area. Any I should be aware of? Closest I have so far is an offer to tag along with the KC Jeep Club when they come out to Taum Sauk Park.

Nice truck. Looks like it even has the optional "forklift door".

 

[chief1983]

The dealer saw fit to include that particular option on both doors, and the tailgate. I added on an aftermarket 'tree antenna mount' package since those pics. Wasn't a fan of that look afterwards so I've taken the mount off
