M152 on a mission.

[Familia Nomad]

Hello All! I am very excited to inform you I have paid for the M152 and am now saving to have it shipped to my home. It's currently parked on a beautiful farm in London, Ontario Canada. I live in Ellensburg, Washington state. It's a bit of a distance! Currently, the truck is not running and it's only working brake is the parking brake. I am talking to auto transporters about how to get it to me. I'm favoring transport across Canada to a Washington border crossing so I can deal with Customs myself. But, nothing has been worked out to finality yet. I would greatly appreciate any advice, references, or input any of you have regarding auto transport companies. I'm currently selling my 1978 Ford Bronco to help pay for transport of the M152. Here's a link to the ad- http://yakima.craigslist.org/cto/5510088873.html

I will document my work on the truck in this thread. So, you've got a long story to watch unfold before you! The M152 will be the vehicle I use on a mission I'll be commencing in a little over 4 years. Here's the skinny- www.facebook.com/familianomad

Thanks!

Good looking truck lots of good potential! When I need a vehicle transported I have grown pretty dependent on USHIP with very good results, and that includes even an M920 from California to ND. I do not have one complaint using this method!

Don't you worry. I'm a professional photographer. There will be no shortage of pics of my project once I get my hands on it!

The truck is loaded up on the flatbed and heading west across Canada now. I'll have it in my driveway within 10 days! I'll keep posting here, but you can follow along more closely at www.facebook.com/faimilanomad I'll be creating a website for my mission this summer.

The M152 arrived safely at my house yesterday evening! Way too much photo and video to post here, so check it out at www.facebook.com/familianomad

I'll be documenting all the details of it's condition, (both photo and written), before I start any work. I'll definitely post those pics here in the near future! I'm ready to begin the resurrection!

Good looking rig you have there.

Thanks elkhtr! I am having a blast bringing it back to life. In the last month I've put in over 80 hours on it. All I'm waiting on now in order to fire her up is the new fuel tank. I am pretty **** stoked! I'm documenting the project at www.facebook.com/familianomad
