After 8 months of waiting, I finally got the title in for the white truck and still working on the camo trucks title. So I haven't died or given up yet. A M35A3 has also been bought for the Frankenstein path since the white trucks motor is for sure toast. I've been playing with that truck when...

It was a lot of fun and were sad to have to leave early, but with not sleeping, we had to play it safe and get home while we were still awake enough. Hopefully we can last both days next year. Really glad we went.

1009 is on the trailer and packed. Only things left are to pack bedding and coolers. Then play the painful waiting game of peeps getting out of work to leave town.

What price for the laptop? EDIT: i did not see the comma. for clarification, is the laptop for the STE-ICE? I have a STE-ICE kit, but no program or any way to read it

I'd liked to attend with my M1009

Come on, vote for the nuke truck. He saved one of just over 2000. I'm saving two of just 175. and her sister, that will be saved too someday by resto-modding, if I live long enough. My office assistant helps prove that flat faced things are just the greatest. While the unimog is snub...

Migginsbro really does have a nice truck and some nice photos. I'm scratching my head about what else I have to share, but I do have handmade TMs for my truck. Due to the limited hard copies for these trucks, I have been going through the PDFs, sorting everything into categories, and making...

I don't have more about my ownership I can campaign with, but I can campaign with the historical significance of it. Designed in the 60s during the space/arms race. Their purpose was to make the Pershing nuclear missile a very mobile system. They only made about 175 of the tractors. Most were...

That's awesome!

I don't have much I can post about my XM757 to campaign for it. No action shots or her at any event yet. I bought her 6~ months ago in a package deal of 2. SUPPOSEDLY she runs. The business I bought them from said one of their mechanics jumped her off the day before I drove up to pay for them...

Why not throw one mine in? One of my 1969 XM757s we are working on. She may be rough but she's not out yet.

Making very slow progress cleaning small parts while waiting on wiring parts. Bulk order of wire last paycheck. Bulk order of "Packard connectors" this check. Crimps and crimpers and misc next check. So on and so forth. Patience is a virtue I am told. In the mean time, I have pulled the dog...

It is FINALLY cool enough in CenTex to get some work done and we made some progress! But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy on it. I have poured through the TMs noting PDF page numbers, printing and sorting entire folders and binders worth, filling notebooks, to get ready for work temps...

This is very optimistic of me, but I'm am going to try to keep a build/restoration thread going for the XM757 that I'm going to ATTEMPT to restore. Don't count your chickens. This will take a while. Early this month, I stumbled across a vague facebook ad for "military trucks" in Fort Worth...

What brings you up this way? An event or something else?

Like I said, that's the very long term plan so who knows what'll happen if I even get that far. I've learned to not get too attached to plans as they always change. I'm waiting for it to cool down and the project season to start to take inventory and take the first steps on the camo one. I got...

The "short term" plan is to get the camo one going as original as possible using the white one as parts. Though the issue with that is then it becomes a glass cannon. The very long term plan is to strip the white one of any part I can substitute (Motor, trans, axles), put those in reserve for...

I'm in Temple. I addended a LSMVPA meeting a few months back but just recently sent the paper app in to join. I'm waiting to hear back on that to hear back on that.

I bought those two! the plan is to save both restoring one and resto-modding the other.

Hello from central Texas. I've been in the hobby a while with my M1009, but really only been involved with a local museum and local car shows. I am trying to branch out and become more active with other enthusiasts. I am waiting to hear back from the region's MVPA chapter to become involved with...
