RE: brackets
Those M88s look like they are headed into Anniston for rebuild. They are older M88s that haven't gone through the upgrade to the latest and greatest, and with the war, all M88s are going through the depot rebuild program there....
Ah, the 880 series - the black sheep of the MV family. Oh so useful, but not too much respect. Takes a real man to collect that rig, and want to fix em up. I owned a M890 for a short spell, and my friends wondered why I bought a 2wd military truck. Guess I just like Dodges.
Welcome to...
Man, if there ever was a truck that needed to be repainted, this gecko is it. Current camo job looks like it was applied by a bunch of frat party drunks early Sunday morning after a party - by opening their mouths and releasing the lunch.

Dennis, did you happen to catch the name of the deputy? I propose that we each write the local PD and see if we can point out that you were trying to do a favor during a local weather crisis, and were threatened with arrest if you tried to help out. A$$-whole PUBLIC SERVANTS like that should...
May be going up to Chambersburg on Thursday to preview trucks and trailers in the next vehicle auction. If anyone wants me to look at something for themselves, please let me know the lot numbers and I'll look at them.
Oh, sorry guy - I won't be stopping at Mechanicsburg PA.
Time to replace the hose! Make sure next time you don't get paint on the rubber of the hose - paint eats rubber, and may have played a factor in the current hose failing.
Most of the important areas of the ship are available to look at. The condition is pretty good, although in some areas of the ship a lot of gear has been removed during decommission, such as the radio room and navigation, a lot of gear has been demilled and taken out. Other than that, pretty...
