I recently joined SS and have been lurking up to now. I just acquired my first MV. It is a 1977 M35A2C w/w. I purchased the truck from a gentleman in Idaho who restores military vehicles. I made the purchase at the Idaho Military Vehicle rally hosted at the Idaho Motor Pool. I was told that the truck was from Spokane, WA and was a Marine vehicle. The previous owner seems to have put a lot of time and effort into restoring the Deuce. It appears that the only items remaining are to refinish the cargo racks and the bed. It came with a rifle rack, extinguishers, pioneer tool rack and tools, cargo cover, flares, air hoses and a tool kit.
When I went to the local DMV I was told that the truck was two years too new to register as a collector vehicle (1975 cutoff). As a result it had to be listed as light truck with seemingly hefty fees.
I've read hundred of posts on the Deuce and Deuce modification forums for the wealth of information they contain. I hope to be able to put some of that information to use in the coming months. My first purchase will likely be a muffler and some paint and primer from Rapco or Sherwin Williams.

It's nice to hear from an MVCC member. I just joined the organization after getting the truck. I hope to be able to attend the August meeting.
