Playing in the snow with chains is the way to go otherwise you need to mount a jet in the back. Goose would get stuck on any slight hill on Non Directional Tread. Good Rubber helps a ton and a ton in the back helps good rubber. More weight on snow and ice means more stuck and bigger...

Was it the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) that started this problem? We should call them and ask. It never hurts to ask. Here's the Vermont Rep from the AAMVA group that appears to be making the biggest difference in our MV drive time. Her name is Wanda Minoli and...

That turned out nice. It sets the bar pretty high for MV styling. This one is still in the bush and your truck may be the inspiration we need. When you get up north we have a camping site next to a pond if you need an off-grid hiding spot. Love to hear that beast run. Here's mile 1 at...

I had to look that up....but no. We bid on gov projects so our safety training was similar to EHS&S through the Alberta Construction Safety Association. The TM, SOP info is a direct result of Steel Soldier website training and the doggone encouragement to....in the very least....read the...

That's a nice truck. The PO of Goose the Deuce put one on the M135 to meet commercial codes in the North and it was handy. The foot hole on the side and the simple comfort knowing someone hitting the back of the truck wouldn't scratch the diff was enough reason to keep it. The tailgates are...

That's the first time in a long time just hearing an engine made me smile. Thank you. Most of that valve noise will go away once adjusted. There's just something good about an inline six.

That's great news. It's a fun truck to drive. Pictures of that deuce with California behind it are always appreciated. It had to be the easiest solution in the G749 world of problems. "Let er' run and add fluid". Beautiful. Rusty's advice could breath new life into deuces people thought were...

That's a nice truck. Welcome aboard. I got to drive the right hand drive British version and they are all truck. He was missing the fold down sides but your truck looks complete. Very nice. Are you insured and registered for the road? We're hearing the beginnings of the end for Green Iron in...

That's an odd looking canister. Looks a bit like a pregnant Air hydraulic Cylinder pac. Someone will likely recognize what it came off of and an era, https://constructionmanuals.tpub.com/14273/css/Air-Hydraulic-Power-Cylinder-Air-Pak-289.htm This one looks a little closer in diameter...

I saw Zeligson somewhere before and those mysteries almost always send me hunting. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/zeligson-crane-truck.4794/ Likely pulled into Zeligson for a conversion after service but it's always cool to find out more info. Crane Carrier Company and Zeligson were...

Gotta love those boots on the 1010. The photos and pics are so appreciated. The 1010 is bear resistant so sleeping in the bush once the doors are closed is very relaxing. Keep the adventures coming.

Are we shifting yet? You've shared some good news with the " New part including new production clutch plates throughout " statement. If there are new parts available from a source you can reveal, it may help the rest of us out. Are these new old stock parts, reconditioned or did Fatsco come...

That WET coast is incredible for the 5 days a year it doesn't rain. It was actualy a dry year out West so just need to time visits between storms. Wait a second.........Duane was able to get you through the border with just a text? Hey Duane, I need some stuff brought up from Mexico...

That is just a high level talent of wood mastery and I feel honoured to get a look at it. Thanks so much for sharing. You catch so much detail we're losing sleep staring at them. One of the least modeled yet sassiest military vehicles created to date is the G749 series. It has compound curves...

We're moving this American truck off the G749 farm today so having some southern knowledge is always a bonus. What's the turn around like and do you get time to visit? We could run you into a few hidden warehouses to see the CDN MV gear, visit 2.1 million fallout shelter spaces, go to a...

A fella over at pinterest had this snappy photo for us. Looking forward to seeing you and listening to stories about the boring drive across the prairies.

She's pootiful! Interesting you found one that had a poop tank. This one was named Piglet after spending her after service time at a pig farm. It's my next project. Your truck is clean compared to Piglet. Your distributor, coil, plugs and wires need some investigating and maybe part number...

Not sure how things come together sometimes but the Legend, Cliff Carbol managed to keep the crushers off a few G749 items. Everyone I know is working long hours and somehow Mattech still mustered the time to drag a 30ft trailer to the G749 A-1 Salvage gold yard. A Twisty skid steer with forks...

Any human that has the patience to put any machine together without making a mistake or throwing tools across the shop is a divine human. Taking it apart is one thing but TDC and valve lash and gear mesh and gap and firing order and electrical and welding and brakes and steering and hydraulics...

Hey, speaking of forging, I just found out Tesla worked with some European company to build the best forging press on the planet....so far. Hot aluminum is injected into some very complex forms for large automotive parts....not too fast or it creates bubbles and not too slow or the aluminum...
