By the way, once you obtain an ex-military vehicle - look for any ORIGINAL
markings and record them!
If you don't you WILL be sorry!
Original markings are usually the ONLY way to trace any kind of military
service history on an ex-military vehicle. Well, that and finding foreign
money that has dropped out of a driver's pockets and ended up under the gas
tank etc. Ian Newby (West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) found
Vietnamese money Piastres (spelling?) under the gas tank of his ORIGINAL
1971 M718 MUTT Ambulance.
By the way, on my last message about chosing a vehicle, I had typed the
wrong word so spell check did not catch it.
For "This clearly about what you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want, deep down."
read
"THINK clearly about what you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want, deep down."
