Hello from Upstate S.C.

[2ndAmendican]

Newbie here in S.C. Interested in M109's and/or M35's. Someone from Whenshtf.com recommended Steel Soldiers as a great place to learn more prior to any purchase of military vehicles, so here I am. I hope to learn plenty, so I can make an informed decision first on "if" I should purchase one at all, and if so, what I should be looking for, and what I should be avoiding.

Looking For A Deuce

(Boy, I hope there isn't a test on the Forum Rules! )

I am just finally, really retired, and as the former owner of a 1951 M38A1, I am longing for the smell of GI canvas and OD/OG107 paint on my hands and clothes. Specifically, I've seen a couple of deuce & a halfs for sale, and am wondering how to eddi-kate myself enough not to buy a money-pit. I wouldn't drive it great distances, and am not an off-road mudder (like I used to be ), just would like to go to the mall or shooting range in my deuce. I would deeply appreciate any suggestions, recommendations or dire warnings from you guys on models & their pros/cons (M35, A1, A2 etc). I'm not a traianed military vehicle mechanic and don't have a dedicated repair facility but I can get around engines & trannies in general. I guess I know enough to get myself in a real bind, so that's why I'm starting here.
Thanks in advance, and regards to all,
George Jacoby
Sumter, SC

Maj Dad,

If you really need an eddi-kate-shun, you need to mosey on over to the MVCSC compound some Wednesday afternoon/evening. It's off Alpine Rd exit on I-77 at I-20 - up the hill and to the left at the light, then turn in at 34.069203, -80.909873 and find a place to park.

Mike,
Is that every Wednesday? If so, I may try to head over this this Wed. Appreciate the reply, too.
Cheers,
George

EVERY Wednesday! Rain or shine, wind, hail, sleet, snow, don't matter, we're there!
