New Years Day Drive

Hi All

Started the year off right with a nice brisk New Years 2018 morning drive

My HUP is in good company with the other winners this year, along with all the other MVs that were entered this year.

Cheers Phil

I too wanted to go for a New Year's drive.. Started the truck, rolled it out and found that the cold had killed the battery in the wife's truck that was blocking my path. So much for that..Guess I wasn't the only one. When I did track down the correct size/cca, there was a line at the counter for batteries alone with 1 poor guy pulling, ringing and then running outside to install. I felt sorry for him and told him I would do it myself. At least he got to take off his coat for a minute as he picked mine and stored the core.
.. Anyhow, I am honored to be among the nominated. Here are a few from the last seasonal show. Thanks to all and a belated Happy New Year.

This will be a tough one

I know...they are ALL "worthy"!!

 

[Holgi]

I can not decide. Who do I vote for?
Very bad for me.

 

[papabear]

I went with longshot2171's beautiful M37.

They are ALL beautiful and it's nearly impossible to pick just one....but unfortunately, we can only pick one.

Put a new cargo cover on over the summer.

I am proud to be among such great vehicles and MV hobbyists. My wrecker project started 9/29/2012. I spent the following 5 years restoring this truck to what you see today. I am honored to present this Vietnam Veteran tribute truck to all who served. Here is the restoration thread.

I appreciate any and all votes for this truck.

The old soldier finally drove it's first miles of 2018. A bit brisk as a convertible but alteast the temperature is in the positive today. I was going through "flathead and treated canvas" withdrawal.
Thanks to all who voted, and greater thanks for those who served...

I have the CUCV M1008 all stored away for the winter at another storage unit. I would ask for your support and vote for the MV of 2017. I am in hibernation a the moment and in the process of rebuilding another CUCV from the frame up. I have pictures of the completed M1008 if anyone wants to see them. I can post later. For now I will settle with the pictures I have. Other then stored in out of the nasty weather. The M1008 looks the same as it did when it won the November 2017 MV of the month. Thank you for your support.

Thanks to all the SS members who have supported my truck in the past and the current support and a special thanks to all the REFORGER/Cold War Vets. A nice group of trucks from the past year for sure. The Goat is still a work in progress, wearing a winch on the front now and tucked in for the winter, unless it's called upon for recovery duty. Too much salty sand here in the winter to take it out on the roads.

 

[gimpyrobb]

While ALL the trucks we might choose from here are awesome, there is so much more to do on a wrecker...

You got my vote bigmike.

 

[Gunner USN]

Ladies & Gentleman (the term is used loosely), I like to thank all that voted to help me win the Steel Soldiers- January 2017 Vehicle of the Month. Thank you for your vote! Now it is time to vote once again, to bring a Red Bull HMVA Vehicle to Steel Soldiers - Vehicle of the Year 2017. For all Steel Soldiers members, Steel Soldiers Members in the Red Bull, to vote again.

Things that my CUCV II and I have attended and done pass year. The CUCV II has been to numerous small, the regional (Upper Mid-West) the Central Wisconsin Military Show {the new Iola Show} in Aniwa, Wisconsin. Plus attended close to 2/3rds of the MVPA Route 66 Convoy (hoping some of them would vote as well).

Thanks again for your previous vote last year and hope you vote again for Vehicle of the Year!

And Yes, this is a shameless plug!

Back to the top.

Real men drive goats! ( join the herd today) a little light hearted humor, from one goat herder to another good luck Mark ( all great Trucks , but only one swivels in the missels !)

I got to vote for the goat, it's name should be Lazarus as it really came back from the grave!
