Welcome home, brother.
I was in the south, Dong Tam, on the Mekong. The only V's we saw were ARVN units. We mostly had M113s. In the 15th Combat Engr. Bn we had 4 M113s with flame throwers like the Monitor boats had.
Once one of our tracks was called in to secure (destroy) a crashed Cobra...
Man, I know how you feel. I’m collecting unemployment right now; that’s why I wasn’t bidding on some cool stuff.
Not being on the bidder’s list I can’t say for sure, but guessing from how the bidding went, at least half went to resellers.
If that MKT-90 had the burners included that was a...
Welcome in advance.
FMJ: Thanks for the tire iron in Norman, OK; we got the brakes fixed and got it home safely.
If you can get a truck from an individual who has already gone through the SF-97 headache and titled the truck (any state) you will save yourself a bit of a pain. Also dealing...
I just watched that auction close (from the sidelines) and some real bargains went by. The highest priced one went for about half of what I paid for mine a year ago. I guess that stands to reason; if I had had $400 today I would have bid on a chassis and deck only in Alabama.
A loaded...
Good work, Caveman. I have no qualms against modifying either a ’57 Chevy or a deuce. Now hacking up a ’57 T Bird would hurt but that’s just because they are really rare. Nothin’ rare about a deuce.
My Own Personal Opinion:
I like the chop job and the windshield visor; I’m not so hot on the...

The list in the "ultimate Deuce Recovery List" is fine and dandy, and might be worthwhile if you lived in CA and were picking up a truck in PA. I Mapquested Owatonna, Mn to CampDodge and it is under 200 miles. The worst that could happen to you is you would have to go to Plan B and come back...
Mike,
Thanks for the correction and update. In the auction closing tomorrow there is at least 1 MKT-85 with 12 vents. Making a statement like I did about which model has what is like describing old Jeeps or old VW's. They changed features without regard to model or year.
I am looking...
They have been going for at least $2000 if they look complete.
If you pick one up keep in mind that its dry weight is almost 5000 lb. You should not tow it without trailer brakes. That means a deuce or bigger. Mapquest shows 382 mi From Sedona, AZ to Barstow, CA; ' shouldn't be too bad of...
On this web site’s home page pull down the tab labeled “Resources” and select “Technical Manuals”. Go to about the 4th page and find TM 10-7360-206-13 and TM 10-7360-206-23P.
I have a 99.9% complete MKT-85. SCSG-G4 (Mike) can answer that better than I, but I believe the differences are:
1) 90...
This is basically the same scenario I went through with my M109. When I picked it up at Ft.Riley, it started EASILY. I ran it out of fuel and had a hard time getting it started again and ever after that it didn’t start as easily. This past winter in very cold weather I went to charge up the...
You gotta keep it, but you also have to put 9th Infantry Division, 2nd Battalion, 39th Infantry bumper numbers on it.

WOW! It's good to see the old beast get a new life. I drove the tractor version of that in Viet Nam and Stateside.
It's good to see that kind of equipment wind up in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it.
