No sweat. The post is now almost six months old. I was assigned to Ft. Sam from April 1993 to April of 1995. So much has changed on base since I was there. The law enforcement is now Air Force security police. My barracks is now a pre-deployment medical clinic of some sort. The new BAMC? Holy...

There are only 30 days in April. So are the dates 4/28 through 5/1? If my schedule doesn't change between now and then I might give it a go.

I've got a receiver type hitch under my front bumper that the winch set-up slides into. Works well so far.

Um... nope. Maybe?

I'd bring along a hand held CB radio and an extra means of recharging my cellphone.

Had some changes to my personal motorpool in the years since I first posted to this thread. I have added a couple more MVs to the roster and they both have "names". Special thanks to Juli Beiter and Suzie Blau for naming my MV RV. M-416 trailer "Tag Along" M109a3 "Trash Truck" M1009...

Second try. I would have to go with the Chevy. Chevrolet produced the same trucks for almost twenty years. Parts are plentiful and usually inexpensive. There is also a ton of interchangeability between the pick ups, Blazers, Suburbans and even the vans. Chevy pick ups also fall into the category...

Anyone passing through the Santa Clarita / Canyon Country area can pick up two trash barrels of scrap wood to burn.

Welcome from Southern California.

Does the O on the door make it extra special? Nice looking truck. Congrats.

Does anyone have any idea what the 5th Army would have put on their vehicle bumpers. I was with the military police company stationed on Ft. Sam Houston/Camp Bullis, before the Air Force Security Police took over. We used off the shelf cars supplied by GSA. I'd like to put something that...

I've got to make the trip for one of these. Perhaps next year, when my M109a3 is all done and the CUCV doesn't have death wobble.

Glad your registration process went smoothly. The Newhall DMV office is a hidden gem. If you get there early enough you are in and out. I ended up hiring a service to take care of my DMV. Too many flaming hoops, real and imagined, for me. Now my M109a3 is a recreational vehicle for about $130 a...

The half track body is a mock up. That is obvious. The window in the side of the power wagon looks out of place. But all in all they look as to be savable. The pick a part off Glenoaks has a complete M35a2 in the for sale running car corral. It has no paperwork, at all, and won't be parted out.

Ahab. It is as bad if not worse. Some of my favorite lakes are almost mud puddles. We have strict watering rules, car washing rules and waste rules. They're trying to get folks to start collecting gray water for irrigation purposes. Yes it's bad.

I posted up some pictures of MV's being used as decorations at the local pick your part. I also found some form of tracked vehicle. It's hull appears to be aluminum. The dash board has and three lever headlight switch, well what's left of one. In the rear are tubes for holding shells of some...

For anyone in the Southern California area this may be old news. At the local pick your part they are using several MV's as decorations around their perimeter.

Welcome Justin. I've got my M109a3 over in North Hills.
