new guy, old truck...

[SCM35A2]

Hey everyone...my name is Donny, I'm from Florence, SC & I just recently bought myself a 1968 M35A2 Deuce & Half from a buddy of mine. I've always been a fan of military vehicles & this is my first one, God willing I'll purchase more in the future. Anyway here are a few pics & if any of you veterans have any advice or tips feel free to post them.

Donny congrats on your Deuce purchase she is a mighty fine looking truck! get it out and drive it a lot they get pretty good mileage. If you get tired of all the noise in the cab down the road send me a PM and I will tell you what I did to the cab and the floor of my Deuce to get it to the point of actually being able to have a conversation inside the truck without and intercom system!
Good luck Donny its a great looking Deuce!!

If you get up Columbia way on a Wednesday afternoon (3 to 9 pm), get off at the Alpine Road Exit (Exit 76), take a left up to the top of the hill and take another left at the light. Bout a quarter mile on the left (just before the tree line) will be an opened swinging gate. Pull in and visit a spell - we have over 25 MV's on the compound. Oldest is a 1938 German ambulance, then several WWII US vehicles, all the way up to the newest stuff (HMMWV's and the MK 48 with wrecker rear body).

Take it out and play with it.
