You will love your new shop Van!!!!! It said it starts, all the more better if it's true. All you need now is a trailer... eh, better make that two trailers.

The more I see these shop vans being picked up, the more I want one!

What are your plans for the truck? I know at least a few of us that won recently are converting them into General Officer type quarters for on the road comfort.

I want to see some pictures of 109 trucks that HAVE been converted to GO type quarters.

The shop vans seem to be hot items lately! I got one recently, too. I have not seen the truck in person, but a friend, who is a surplus dealer, told me it is the cleanest shop van he has seen. It has brand new Firestone radials on it and, surprisingly, they are 1100s, but they left them as duals...and did not single it out.

Gentlemen,
Congrats to all of the new fellow shop van owners. Glad to see that there will be many more "Army RVs" out there. I hope we see a lot of pictures as we all begin to convert the interiors to something a bit more comfortable. My son and I begin ours this weekend and hope to have it ready for the Georgia Rally.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I hope, for Bruce's sake, that the truck still has the 11.00 Stones on it after the GA rally. Those are a mighty fine looking tire that would fit wonderfully on my deuce.

Update

 

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

Yes please an update tomorrow my sons are headed to Fort Indiantown gap to pick up my two trucks and bring them back down south. How did your recovery from Rhode Island go?

 

[ecostruction]

I might run into your sons. I'll be at "The Gap" tomorrow too.

 

[Massm35a2]

Made it home safe and sound. Jumped it with the slave and she fired up Drove it home with Kaiser2Help following in my deuce. Only thing I did was change a bad fuse for the fuel pump. Blinker switch is broke. Not a bad truck. I will post more pics soon.

P.S. Brand new belts and fuel filters still in the packages were on the floor inside

 

[kaiser2help]

Well here are some pics I took for Massm35a2 of his shop van. This truck was a good runner. Not as good as his other deuce , but it made it all the way home without one problem. this shop van runs like a dogg just like my 5 ton M54A2. maybe someone could allaborate on this one. Will a different turbo really make it run that much different? any how enjoy the pics.

Thanks Kaiser
