I almost missed it, why didn't anybody wake me up? I also miss my morning coffee.

Sorry Ken, with anybody else in the race, you would have gotten my vote, but without thought Ron's BART gets the vote this time. I still would like to ride in that beast of you though.

We need a few more votes, or can BART pull himself over the line? What happens if there is a draw? Today is a good day for voting, Ron, get some more pics out, people now only look at the last page of the thread.

new 7.jpe, new 8.jpe,
A bit of paint changes everything.


new 9.jpe, new 10.jpe,
Signage makes things look right.


new 12.jpe
From a distance the blend of the paint looks like it should.

BART started out as a every day m1070 TRUCK TRACTOR with two 55,000 lb winches, NOW BART has three 55,000 lb winches with the rear winch usable as both a drag winch and for a lift tow, just depends on the rigging , a 11,000 lb crane, a LIVE A-frame for lift tow, spades/poles, flat deck for all the extra do-dads.

Now Kens HEMTT started out as a HEMTT, a lot of work and money and some blood was put into the restore, so now he has a very nice restored HEMTT.

Not sure how a picture ended up down below.

Thank you sir it's been a close one.
As far as I'm concerned Ron's truck is also a winner.
Yup...everyone is a winner because their truck has been seen by hundreds of folks in a very short time!!

Congrats to Coffee1:beer:

Stand by a few hours folks...tomorrow starts a new month and a new round of nominations.:tank:

Ron did build a nice truck. I will never discount the amount of work required to mount a MK 15 Wrecker Body onto an M1070A1. It basically looks like a factory made truck and is likely a very capable wrecker. I also think you put alot of time and work into the HEMMT and certainly in such a short time. You need to slow down, I have only had the M923 for a few months but if my wife ever read through your thread, she would think I am lazy!!!

My sincere apologies. I was out of town over the weekend with my wife. I completely forgot about MVoTM. Congrats Coffey1, I'll get the home page updated shortly.
