Why not... my 1972 Deuce

Just a quick pitch for pitpawten M35A2. This truck was the realization of a childhood dream. (Who hasn't watched Ghostbuster and been more impressed with the deuces than the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?) He found this truck via Steelsoldiers and bought it from a member, sight unseen, and had it...

Thanks! I'm already thinking of countless projects to justify the purchase. Bed crane is next on the list. Just found a new in box 2500lbs winch at a second hand store that will replace the hand crank on the crane. (when I actually get the crane)

(continued) Yard scrounging We got home and promptly set up a photo shoot :) Over the past week I changed the driver's side windshield, painted the front bumper, rear bumper, winch and driver's door area, following the Behr paint thread as a guide. Today at the in-laws' house. This...

I found it so hard to find an M35A2 with the specific options I wanted within a reasonable distance and price range, so I decided to drive out to TNJ Murray in Dover DE, expecting everything to be overpriced. My son and I walked around their acreage and veritable graveyard of MV's in subarctic...

Thank you, sir! I'll take a look and see what info is out there.

I saved this from being scrapped years ago and have only now gotten to looking at it a little more closely. I believe it was my grandfather's, but don't believe it was from his war. (WW2) The data plate is marked: CORPS OF EGINEERS, U.S. ARMY MAKE: Winpower MFG. CO. MOD: G-0536AS VOLTS: 120...

Pics or it didn't happen. :) Welcome from Maryland's Eastern Shore. The REAL ​Maryland.

That's correct, if allowed.

So what you're saying is, if Mcgyver had used FRESH rubber bands, none of this would have been an issue? (or at least less likely) Seriously though, great info. Seeing how complicated the rotor head alone is really clarifies why helicopters have so much more down time for service compared to...

Well, I just learned something new. I've seen the CH-47 video before, but it was years ago. I can honestly say I wasn't aware of ground resonance. Pretty incredible. But I am certain Macgyver could fix that if he had to.

I think I've spent far more time playing in the cab and around the truck than my son has :rolleyes:

:cookoo: :) pitpawten can be MY wingman anytime. I think the garage door open is approximately 117" high and 115" wide. I just know it fits... barely. It's a heart break to see a Deuce in my garage that's not my own. My son puts on a brave face but I catch him wiping tears of shame from his...
