Very informative thread. The troops here are full of great advice. Wishing you the best in your search, selection and purchase of your first MV. By the way..... Welcome aboard :D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver:

C Thurber: You had posted the quoted item as a separate thread. I have just merged that thread into this one so that those already subscribed to your original thread will automatically be notified of your THANK YOU NOTE. Just to help you out, when you create a new thread, the chances of the...

I agree with your MV tally. Although some of the "other" vehicles may have at one time been owned by Uncle Sam as well. I also agree... It takes DEEP POCKETS, or a fire department's commitment to its heritage, to maintain and shelter those collectibles.

Need a knowledgeable response here..... A Member has PM'd me, apparently unable to VOTE via Tapatalk. Here is our PM exchange.... I see you're using Tapatalk on your phone. That is a very good question. Every time I have voted or participated in a Poll it's been via my laptop computer...

Indeed. I can't remember some things from this morning, let alone 20 years back.

WHEW!!! We dodged that CYANIDE bullet, didn't we ?!?!? It's a worthy education and I'm glad we have chased this rabbit (and assassinated it). It always feels good when the truth prevails, rumors are quelled, and we all become just a little smarter for the experience. :goodjob: If anyone is...

WOW! IF that's true, I'd like to see the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) on the CARC product. From my experience as an Aviation Avionics and Electrical Design Engineer: For years the FAA "thought" by virtue of a wire manufacturing competitor's rumor that TEFLON INSULATED WIRE for aircraft...

TOAST!!! They are almost "burned beyond recognition". Hit the RESET button.... FAST!!!

Good thoughts. As for their "need" for money - knowing their business that's not even in the equation. The sentimental and preservation factors seem much stronger facets. Cleaning up the "curb-appeal" of the home is also a huge factor. One of the comments in our very first meeting kinda showed...

EXCELLENT! Your due diligence in checking those "silent damages" is indeed prudent. The cost of replacement is impressive too. Bet you don't have that much invested in it, do you?

Repainting only? Did the steel not get so hot that it compromised it's tensile strength??? I know you pulled away before the major blaze but.... Just hoping nothing got weakened on you.

Here's a link to the thread about Simp's Collision last month.... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?179355-Rear-ended-in-a-5-ton-on-6-5-18&highlight=

Excellent suggestion - And it's one I've already "played". I have not yet found a data plate on it. UPDATE: Before I took the next step, I prayed about how to go about this. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. I have also dreamed that this K53 could well serve as a CHAPLAIN'S...

Every little boy NEEDS a fire truck! If you do find and ALF like that I'll gladly steer the tiller for you!

Here's a "Second Alarm" video of this same event, but from a different tactical vantage point.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQYEYGVftVg

I'm going to BUMP this thread with a video "SCAVENGER HUNT" of sorts. Watch this video and then answer TWO questions: 1. How many Fire Trucks, Rescue Trucks, etc. rollout for this "ALARM"??? 2. How many (obviously) former MILITARY VEHICLE based apparatus mustered for this event??? I'm...

Please provide your timetable for this mission. Thanks.
