Thought i could at least claim the slowest MV in the running then a scissor lift comes along

Vote for the SEMTT, hopefully your votes will cheer it up so it will stop making a milky mess of the transmission fluid and will have no further problems!

Vote for iatractor. This truck recently participated in a convoy to Quincy Illinois to provide a Veteran's Day parade escort to Sgt Major Richard Pace. He served two tours in Vietnam and was also the lead horseman for President Kennedy's funeral.


This picture shows the line up of our vehicles with the casket carrier replica. Richard Pace is the man wearing the blue uniform. My truck is third from the left.

The truck and m149a2 on display for Veteran's Day. Another shot at the Quincy Illinois Veteran's home. Third vehicle from the right.

I like the SEMTT but I like tanks more.

Vote for the M715 picture number 15, because I need the cash from winning this contest to bid on a HMMWV.

CASH! had I known there was cash involved I would have washed the jeep before photos!

Wooohoooo, Thank You jdmcgowen!!! Always a Great Feeling to get that First Vote to start that Momentum. My truck deserves a shot at victory as he has participated in the last 5 GA Rallies since he became a privately owned truck and that's a 180 mile trip each way. He's been a trail ride champion and has never gotten stuck. I'll thank the Firestone tires and an owner who exercises sound judgement. I will also add that the truck assisted the Patriot Guard Riders in the Funeral Procession for Leesburg, GA's Real Hometown Hero. Marine LCpl Steven G. Sutton. Sure we have our Luke Bryan's, Buster Posey's, Phillip Phillips's, and Miss Georgia 2013 Ms. Carly Mathis and we're Very Proud of their accomplishments as well as the joy their talents have brought to your ears and your T.V. Screens. He's a well traveled Deuce who has served with Distinction and Pride. He also shares a yard with what is perhaps the most original M1028 released to private hands. He's been a parade truck and a real inspiration to all who have had the opportunity to see him or be associated with him. Attached are some of his most recent pics in the Leesburg Christmas Parade being driven and accompanied by current Soldiers serving with the Ga Army National Guard. I forgot to add that I'm the driver and I am in the Ga Army National Guard!!!

storm 51 got my vote this month you just don't see very many of those around nowadays..

I definitely like storm 51 M42, rare truck. I hope he eventually wins

It was a tossup between fishtail and storm 51. I have always loved the 715's and that will be my next build but for now I have a 1951 M-43 ambulance that I hope one day looks that good so Storm you got my vote this month. She's a peach...

Hey why is my HMMWV not getting votes? It seems with all the press lately, this one should pull some HUGE numbers and it even has a title!

Everyone is too busy talking about HMMWV's being available for sale.

Well then lets bring the talk over here to this thread by re-labeling it "what do I do with my over priced truck that I just bought in Utah"! lol

VOTE as many times as the forum lets you, and then use your buddies login/pw to vote again. Make sure you cast them for the hmmwv!

Because the Aussie's are getting them all.

There's something to be said about a frame off restoration. The amount of work and love put into a MV should, in certain instances, get a point or two above a store bought asset with a fresh coat of paint. I love the M-37s and am completely prejudicial, but, you cannot deny there was a lot of work put into STORM 51's M-37. Here's a few pictures so you can decide for yourself. Also, be aware, we do not have a winner in the M-37 Korean War vintage machine just yet.
So please, whether you have voted or not, made up your mind elsewhere or not, just take a look at the following link that shows you some of the things that went into the frame off restoration. Also, I will post here a few more pictures of the finished product in both the M37 and the M42 Command Truck form.

Storm also, for safe keeping, has a complete Artic Kit that is good for -70 below zero with flanges up top for stove kit and all, insulated flooring, and it goes in the back in place of the M42 Command cover. It is currently in storage and not available for pictures, but makes the truck complete in many ways. Imagine starting a truck in -70 degrees. Burrrrr......
