I'm sure I have one or two of our old deuces. But we didn't go around with cameras snapping random pictures of ourselves or our equipment. Pretty much all the old pics I have were sent by others who ran across them. I do have, somewhere, a few pics of some of our M211 CP units, but I'll have to...

Well, tet's just say that we never once were concerned about weights and never once did we even think to wonder. We'd be loaded up to the rails with ammo, plus a full water buffalo trailer on behind, and it didn't even break a sweat. I'll say it again, they were my favorite vehicle in all my...

Yup, saw that. But I’m looking for the hardtop M135 Canadian. Doesn’t the M211 have a different cargo bed? Will an M135 cargo bed fit on the 211 frame? What I CAN attest to was how happy one one hand, yet pissed off when they took our Deuces and gave us the MLVW. Yeah, power steering was ok...

The Reserve unit I first joined was in Saskatchewan. Then went Regular, and spent plenty of time in Lahr. Most of my early Deauce time was in the Army Reserve. I had a full time spot then, so even though I was a RadOp by trade, I did the supply runs, etc, anything to keep a guy busy. I had...

I caught the last few years of them in the CF, late 70's to early 80s, drove them constantly, never gave me a lick of trouble, never got me stuck or stranded, not once. Being a bigger guy, I was tasked to drive deuces everywhere we went, because they thought I'd have an easier time with the...
