LMAO... I’ve been waiting for someone to mention the garbage dumpster!!! Depending on the picture you are looking at, you either saw the garbage dumpster or noticed the missing radiator. I’ve got a new radiator in my shop waiting for this project.

Thank you! Also, thank you to everyone that voted. I’m honored to have won this month. @Tracer, although I can’t commit on timing, I do promise to post under the hood pictures.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone that’s voted! For everyone else, this is a reminder that you have one day left. Cast your votes! A Texas title came in the mail this week. It’s official, I’m the proud owner of a M810 WO/W. I know this because the data plate say so.

Well, @Tracer, the answer is not yet. I ran a few errands on Sunday and planned to stop by the M810 for some pictures. As I got close, it started pouring (remnants of Hurricane/TS Hanna). There’s something about this truck and heavy rain. On the flip side, it’s still dry inside the water...

@Phoenix77 - Your HMMWV has come a long way since you picked it up from Ft Bragg. It looks great -- a true testament to your time, skill and effort! Also, I really like how you were creative with your trailer. :grd:

Okay, to recap my posts in this thread, we know that I bought the M810 water truck from a friend of mine in May of this year. We also know that he kept the truck in a shed, and Wes hauled it home for me on a very rainy day. So what's the back story? Well, I'm glad you asked.... My friend...

That’s no lie! You have one good looking truck, Sir!

Challenge accepted! I bought the M810 from a friend of mine, and he kept it under cover in a shed. Here is a picture of the M810 in my buddy’s shed before I bought it. As you can tell by the dust, the heavy rain did it some good.

Tracer, what can I say, you do have good taste! I am fond of the Deuce! Oh yes, the story and more pictures of the M810 are forthcoming as the voting continues. And, yes, it does have the gas engine pump. While I’ve got you waiting in suspense, here’s a teaser >>>

Yikes! An awesome M38, a great looking Deuce and one heck of a 5-ton earning its keep! And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a HMMWVs with a kid! This is some steep competition!!! Folks, don’t overlook the lil’ ol’ M810 water truck! Wes helped me recover this truck two months ago on a day that...
