The unofficial g749 picture thread

[M37keppy]

The stakes are about 5 foot and the wood is overlapping 2x6s bolted to the stakes. I burned up a couple drill bits drilling all the holes. There's probably not enough info on the weasel to start a thread. It just a project that I started a long time ago and haven't finished.

Your M211 bed boards are super good looking. Functional as well. Our Weasel stories sound about the same except yours looks a lot nicer than mine.

M211

Guys Guys Guys and ladies, Rare M211 with an insulated cage, lights, drawers, a work bench....also known as a bed, a ladder, original mesh doors for the back, 2 perfection heaters with controllers, cab heater and just wow.





This new G749 just joined Gizmo's family and will be known, this day forward, as Groot.....something about a movie character I haven't seen so maybe some of you younger viewers know whom they speak of. She's missing the Data Plate so the hunt is on for a blank M211CDN plate.....or one with this number already stamped on it, with the correct delivery date.



With some luck, Groot, Gizmo, Gander and Goose will be at an airshow coming up so watch for updates.

With that many trucks you will have to teach the Shepard to drive!

M211 300 mile move

With that many trucks you will have to teach the Shepard to drive!

Bigger trailers and tow bars may be required because the dogs are only allowed to drive the jeeps.

1952 XM211 -6215- just got it a couple weeks ago.
History I know of, went to Korea, then came state side to drive Marines around. Then local fire department, Orcas Island, used it as a tank truck.

I will get some better pics later

I think I have seen this truck before. Pictures start on post #38.

M135 I spotted @ the military vehicle museum in Houston, TX. 90% of their vehicles are member owned, tagged, & fully functional.

If you have a change to visit the museum I highly recommend it. They have all kinds of military vehicles from mechanical mules to HEMTTs to M114s to functional helicopters

Anyone know of whatever happened to Gunfreak's truck?

There are too many guys to thank them all so if you see your photo, Thank you. Thanks to DM on CMV for letting us get it together in one spot. To all that serve, Thank you. Enjoy the history.

 

[m1010plowboy]

A few more with a mix of features that we don't get to see very often.

 

[m1010plowboy]

I'm almost certain there are few or no doubles.



I slipped this one in to remind everyone to wash their hands.

The story in the picture.

 

[m1010plowboy]

The things your Dad never told you!

 

[m1010plowboy]

The things they couldn't tell you because we might find out why we don't have any spare tailgates laying around. To those who served, saved fuel by hauling your spares and helping the MVironment, thank you.

Thanks for all these exceptionally great pics, plowboy. You never fail to please!

Sure do love that "73/74 Workhorse" shot. That rig looks like it could tackle anything thrown at it!
