Triangular tag could be for a Materials Work Order (MWO) - Seat belts were an addition for my truck and that's where the little tag designating the completed work was placed in my deuce.

Well, here's how I looked at it. I was buying from a private collector who'd had the thing out on the road and felt that everything worked. I'd love to go to a GL auction and pay $800 for a running truck like some have, but short of scrap vehicles or those in Hawaii or Guam that doesn't seem...

Thanks Bomar76!

There's a fellow named Erich Alsbaugh in Lancaster, OH who has three running deuces for good prices. His web page is [updated] http://www.miltrucks.com/ . I bought my M109A3 shop van from him last Christmas and it has run well for me.

Air Powered Wiper Motor Hints Ask and ye shall receive! (the Forum won't let me post a .pdf Acrobat attachment directly. Coming now to the technical article section as "air powered wiper motor hints.") Mmm! 2001 Connie, not the '60's Connie, but still.... :D

That looks so SWEET! Once I get my sister-in-law married in ten days (wouldn't a crew cab deuce be a super limo?) and help put wyattearp's new engine in place I've gotta get in gear to do some painting!

I think Lance did it. Nice picture too, lost to time and the internet...

Ugg013, Here are cgarbee's ruminations on the pioneer rack for the M37. I understand that the workings should be similar to those of a deuce. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=3&pid=8 Thanks for the detailed write up of your trip to Virginia and back...

Hey DR, I must have missed a post somewhere. Which museum are you now affiliated with? Warmest regards, Opie

Deuce B, welcome home! My $0.02 on home buying - It is really like getting anything from the folks at Government Liquidation. Get someone professional to perform a home inspection so you can find any "problem" areas. It helps to negotiate on price, give you a reason to abandon a contract, or...

Quoting Monster Man who quoted Joe Young on 2/15/2005: I've submitted the heater page as I saved it this spring to be reconstituted or put in the Technical Article section. Now if I could only get off of my butt and put the stupid thing into my truck.

I feel the need to act as the master of ceremonies and say... Now introducing that man from Georgia, the Personage of Paint himself, R. Dixie Miller! Let's give him a big hand, folks!

I've noticed that the vehicles on Govliquidation.com tend to have been personalized by their crews with their rates and names on the base of the windshield glass in front of their seating positions with vinyl lettering. I haven't noticed such markings on the (few) late '60s - early '70s...

Welcome from the Old Dominion contingent of Steel Soldiers to out flatland brethren! (Full disclosure: I'm a Sovereign Republic of Northern Virginia refugee relocated to the Roanoke Valley...) Maybe you could carpool people to the Virginia Railway Express station for their commute to/from DC...

Thought I'd let you know about the following. He's the guy I bought my shop van from, and is located in Lancaster, OH. http://www.miltrucks.com/html/--__m35_parts_trucks__--.html
