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

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