loathe gadgets and power crap and ANYTHING that can get broke. Simple
is best, no power seats, no fu**&*g lights that dont turn off till I
go back to make sure the door isnt open, no built in GPS, no damned
radio, just SIMPLE transportation. Reliability and ease of fixing is a
major issue as is longevity. So, what is there?

ask JohnH or Tom Shortwave for details.....

Well, not that one exactly, but my first job in the Army was in an
Artillery Battalion in Fort Devins, Mass. I was chief of the Fire Direction
Control (FDC) section for a 105mm Howitzer Battery. The FDC section had the
M37, 3/4 ton as its primary mover. The thing had the most underpowered
straight six ever made!

of a truck, just no power.

almost shelled Ayer, Mass.- Hide quoted text -
