Good morning,

My name is Cody and I thought I would publish a post here introducing myself in addition to the one I posted asking questions in my Deuce thread.

Currently I live in the Nebraska panhandle and am looking to buy my first military vehicle and am here to learn as much as I can before doing so. Somewhat mechanically skilled, mostly with fixing my 75 MG and repairing crop dusters, so I think I could probably keep a truck running reasonably well.

I look forward to being a part of the community here.

I'm about 12mi from the NE border, and I have a truck as well as accessories available.

Welcome to the hobby!

Here's a teaser -

I like the Loli Pop turn signals, I had them on my M35A2 and I feel it makes your lane changes safer. Also looks like your truck doesn't have much rust.

Made it home this morning! What an adventure!

Welcome to the hobby!! We need details, how'd it go? Where's the pics? We can't have a tiny teaser and no follow ups

 

[cessnapilot89]

It was good! Just under a 400 mile drive. Weather was uncooperative, but the truck did swell!

 

[Tracer]

Glad you made it home safe and sound. That first drive home is always an adventure.

Because I no longer own her, she now belongs to fellow Steel Soldier bigmike. I was concerned about her getting a good home, some of the locals here would have turned her into a giant dune buggy and there was no way I was going to let that happen. Mike has owned an M35A2 before and knows how to properly drive and maintain one. In the 17 years I owned her she seldom spent time indoors, and now she spends time indoors with the rest of Mike's MV collection. So now I can spend time restoring my neglected M38A1 Jeep. Do I miss her.......you bet.

The fun began yesterday, driving it up and down the road for the first time. Learning the idiosyncrasies of the deuce transmission.

Never was so much fun had, while going so slow. In a cold drizzling rain.
