Tony,
Life gets busy sometimes and I didn't campaign at all last month. I won this contest back in May of 2015 with a CUCV. The little truck beat out a M1070 HET and some very worthy competition. Like the CUCV that spent time in a cave in Norway, my 5 ton has one thing going for it. My Little Buddy Loves big iron! He's more partial to Railroad Iron but love's the 5 ton because railroads used 855 Cummins extensively and that happens to be the engine under the hood of General Non-Sense!

Just a few pictures to keep my truck in the running. It looks like I'm lagging behind slightly but I think Scar59 is running a sprint! I'm an endurance runner! Left to right, General Non-Sense at the Thronateeska Heritage Center for Briggs Birthday party with the M1102. Next, helping a gentlemen with an M923A2 figure out "normal" camber on a rockwell axle. Pic 3 is a shot of my "emergency front hubs" after they got sandblasted by Welder1. He does great work so reach out to him if you're close and need someone with a 30 ton silo and an industrial sandblasting operation. I painted them red so it's easy to figure out when they are installed. I run de-splined hubs when traction is not an issue to get that 0.1 mpg gained by not spinning the front drivetrain. Last picture is the old tarp on canvas replacement day!

Sprint? The M936 dosen't do anything fast. Low and slow.... Putting the lift on a rough terrain forklift. Mounting wheel assemblies. I have several sets of de-splined hubs for the fleet. They do help w/ on road drivability. Keep Voting!!!

Some pics from "the historical construction site" this year.






Digging holes, load the tipper .....some fun in the sand.

[Coffey1]

Here she is doing some other work.

 

[dougco1]

Easter Find was put back on light duty today. She was ordered to pick up the MEP at the Retirement Home and bring it to the job site. The only issue was the CO failed to specify which one; The 802,803,or the 804 Can you guess which one she hooked up?


While at the retirement home, She met a few fellow retirees. Then Easter Find had to show her new friends
what she is made of.

Doug,
Those pictures of your engine bay are better than my CUCV when I first got it! Attached pictures show what mine looked like at 25 years old and only 2,189 miles on it! Didn't have a chance to take a rag to it before the pictures and haven't taken one to it since except to check fluids.

[papabear]

I finally have narrowed it down to three vehicles....dang....this is hard!!!

 

[Scar59]

The wrecker needs a couple more votes, it's a working man's truck.

 

[Migginsbros]

That´s right. But don´t forget to push the SEE a bit to get under the top THREE this month.

 

[izzug]

I had to vote for Coffey1......I owned that truck for 3 days one time
