Hello, I am a new guy so to speak on the block, well on this one anyway. I am not new to Military vehicles, I have a 1962 Ford built M151, and I had it in Topeka, Ks last June at the MVPA rally. If some of you was there you might remember it, it was the one with the Military Police signs on it. Entered it in the judging and got a 99.182% correct on it. It had the markings on it from my unit in Germany from 1963 to 1966. I am currently working on a 1964 M274A1 got a ways to go yet. I am now going to be out of room in my shop for more vehicles, so am going to put up another building and then sometime in the future will be looking for a M37 and then also a M35 then will have the collection that we had in my old unit. I am a retired farmer from central Kansas. Hope to get to know the members here and maybe even see ya down the road someplace. Larry

I like how you display your gear and items, I like to do the same thing. And I like the mag wheels on the MUTT , I did that on mine also.

Larry,

I bet we chatted for a while I was looking over your display. I remember admiring the quality of the restoration of the M151.

Here is a link the thread that Gary and I had going for the convention. http://www.g741.org/PHPBB/viewtopic.php ... sas#p56743
