That's not the important part, what's important is that your vehicle was nominated and got votes...which means it's appreciated by others.

Also...you never know who's gonna win until the last minute when the

I do have to make a slight adjustment to the rules. We've had a reported PM from a member about "spam". Please keep the campaigning to the thread, not PMs.

Hopefully I'm the Seattle Seahawks of the MV world and will pull off a miracle in the last seconds.

Bump, bump, bumpty, bump

It worked that time.

Bump for the day crew.

Thanks everyone so far, I'm floored by all the support for my 67' M715. This vehicle was marked for the 313th ASA out of FT. Bragg which was a unit my father served with in the early 60's. They were sent to Key West FL. during the Cuban Missile Crisis and stayed in a brand new hotel while there (rough duty, lol). The most fun I have with this and all my other MV's is getting the opportunity help with the local veterans in parades around the area. Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, and the Moving Vietnam Wall to name just some of the great area parades we have taken the vehicles to.

That's one of the best looking M715's I've seen and I think it's the ONLY one I've seen with an M2HB mounted!!

 

[67Beast]

Thanks Papabear, I had found a few pics of a couple M715 in Vietnam with M2HB's which was my inspiration to add it to mine.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

I guess nobody likes my old forestry truck.

It was sold to the Arkansas state forestry service to pull a goose neck trailer many years ago but if it had history before I don't know it. The guy I bought it from in fall 2013 Is who bought it from forestry.
I did a Vin search and its definitely a m1008 that had overload springs added, and the truck was built in Michigan and that's all the history I lve got.
Its pulled everything I have ever hooked it to.
I pulled a 36,000 lbs weight sled over 210 ft and the running gear is completely stock.
Its pulled a 40 ft long single wide house trailer that weights right at 10,000 lbs and it pulled it like it wasn't back there. It has also pulled an assortment of boats and other trailers.

time for the night shift guys.

I was hoping for a sympathy vote as my M561 Gama Goat purchase from GSA fell through due to their "material misrepresentation" (their words) of the condition of it, but it turns out I got another one so maybe I should get the sympathy vote for having gotten a M561 Gama Goat.

I should have done this a couple of weeks ago.

Just wanted to provide a few more pics of a truly historic and ultra rare MV and yes to shamelessly garner some more votes for a very unique members ride.

This MV is not just a half-track, this particular beauty served in four conflicts on as many continents .. its not a tribute vehicle or a copy of a vehicle seen in a picture (all good things and projects I admire and have accomplished myself), The Queen is the real deal and I believe its very worthy of your vote!!!!

Finding it was one thing, but jumping thru the hoops to bring it back from Africa and save it from destruction was the real feat! Not about the dollar thing to get it back, but getting "UNCLE" to allow it back into the country was the real challenge. My goal with this beast remains rock solid and unchanged, "To Share its educational and historic value with the public so that they might have a greater appreciation for the sacrifice of those who fought for their freedom"!!
