how to get a free truck

this is how you get a free truck here in the US. its a 44 CCKW with nearly all the parts and bed. all i have to do is a little work to get it out then start putting it back together. all the parts including the gun ring and mount were scattered around the equipment yard.

Great - they throw in some free lumber as well! Guess you will only have to put in the work to take it away?

"Last ran when parked, fixer upper, all parts here, there and everywhere".

Some assembly required!

CHIMO!

What is this propensity that trees have for M.V.s? People! Don't park your vehicle in one spot too long or you'll end up like Dave's truck and this:

The all fit under the catagory of ran when parked. There is a similar picture in one of Bill Greggs books that I will have to look for.

Eric, you're not suggesting M.V.s grow on trees now, are you?

CHIMO!

lol if it were only true that they grow on trees , i want a couple of packs of those seeds. I haven't found a MV having trees growing through it but i have found a 1920-1930 vehicle in same condition in trees. A guy can't leave anything laying around for for 30 or 40 years anymore .

Cheers

Hello everyone, at the CFSEME school in Borden, on. there was a Centurian in the recovery site that was used as an anchor and as a heavy recovery item in the dugout. What they did with it was push it in the water and then pull it out with the LEO ARV. There was a poplar tree that grew out of the hull and only got water when it was dipped in the dugout. The Cent is now in PET getting restored, but I don't know of what happened to the tree.
