No dog and pony show here, just 65 years of non stop Army Vehicle experience and fun. No scrounging, no thirst to impress with names, money, or fantacies, just real time fun and giving back to a hobby that has been very rewarding. The tough part is deciding which truck to choose for the local trip to the watering hole, he fun part is the enjoyment of letting fellow veterans choose their mount for special occasions. There is no better enjoyment than driving a WWII Jeep back across the airfield from where it was surplused 60 some odd years ago and the vivid memories of daily activity at that same Army air Force Base, later USAF Base, with fighters and bombers taking off just a few hundred feet away, the Cletracs and Clarktors, C-2's, 5 Ton 4X4's, CCKW's of all types, and the transition to the early jet fighters and M-Series trucks of the 50's.
It even gets better when some of the surplus parts used to support that equipment can be traded among fellow collectors in order to make their MV projects become realities. Now what was that you were trying to tell me?

I like I.H. Halftracks too, I had 26 unused Surplus RD-450 Engines that made this hobby painless and still have a few accessories leftover from them here and there.
