So I am posting this in the deuce section, because it started witth a deuce. A guy named Dave purchased a deuce from GL(yes he is STILL waiting for a title). He has been reading up about MVs here for a while, but when he wanted to post, he had trouble. Dave worked with an old roomate(another Dave) of mine. He mentioned that he was having trouble getting on a website to my old roomate. When Dave told Dave it was an MV site, he told Dave to call me, maybe I could help. As it turned out it was indeed SS. In passing he mentioned knowing where a deuce tow truck was. So for the last week, thoughts of M60s danced through my head.
Forward to today. I got out to Dave's around maybe 3 or 4. We say hello, and I say "sorry about driving right past you". I overshot him by a few miles. So we load up to check out the "suspect" truck. I will let you guys give me your insight as to weather this is a military bed, but I doubt it is/was an m60. I am going to try and buy it, but it will mostly be for parts. When we got done looking it over, we headed off to check out Dave's deuce. To shorten the story a bit, he went to the top of a hill and brought it back down. Its a very nice looking truck that runs even better. I think he said a new motor was put in in 2006. So we got back to his place and after some BSing, he sends me toward some other MV stuff.
After arriving at my next destination, I find 3 MVs with the promise of more. The first was a 715(he was asking way too much for). After looking it over, we start to talk about wreckers."I got a 43 Diamond Rio" he says to me. SWEET! Can I go look at it? So we head to the "back 40". The Rio sat next to an XM-211, nice. I get pics and talk somemore and am told to stop back as he will be bringing some more trucks later. So now I am getting tired of typing and will load the pics.
