Well bless my soul I'm an "MV Ambassador"!

Friday I got my Military Vehicles special "MV Ambassador" edition. Much to my surprise they published the article I had submitted.

John Adams Graf had sent an email to me stating the issue was filled when I originally sent the article but he would see what he could do. Thanks John.

The only thing is, the "before" shot they used is not my truck.

I wished mine looked as good when I got it as the one they published. I had included a before shot of my M37. Maybe he wanted to illistrate a typical "before-resto" truck?
Also added an extra L to my last name. No big deal. I am happy to get published.

The article made my wife Mary teary-eyed and proud.

Of course my thanks to all of my friends here that made this successful restoration journey possible

My copy came in the mail yesterday! I wasn't sure what you guys were talking about....

Congrats David on your article and Carter on your truck photo!!

M37's were in there quite a bit. Parts will be scarcer now...

David;
The before shot please, like to see what you started with.

John:
Thanks, M37 coverage was good, get your needed parts before the price goes up folks

I should have looked in the photo gallery first

, thanks David. Nice truck to start a resto. with. Had the engine been rebuilt sometime before you got the truck? Never saw a blue painted block before.

Carter,

Yes, the engine had a rebuild. Who knows when? That original engine is now my spare which I will rework.
