Another two-horse race and the runners are neck-and-neck!

I am anxious to see the competitive campaigning and the backstories on each of these fine thoroughbreds.

Bring it on, boys!!!




Carry on.

The story of my M715 is one as old as time...

Boy see truck in a movie, boy falls in love with truck, 30 years later boy sees truck for sale, boy kicks rocks for 2 years and finally buys it and spends three years taking it

This 816 in desert tan paint chip design started it's your at our stable a few years ago, located about 40 minutes away from us it had sat for about 10 years. After getting it running and driving it home it was first used to swap the R6602 engine in our M-62 wrecker. It got a through cleaning and then primed and painted. She's been a workhorse around for us the last few years including a 150 mile round trip bringing the M-51 dump truck home and more recently dragging in the newest purchase with a messed up front spindle the M-936 wrecker last fall. It also does some of the heaviest lifting at shows and Veterans Day display of Old Glory. My 16 year old daughter has been running the crane on this wrecker since she was about 10 same age as I started running our M-62 wrecker. I appreciate your vote for our truck and support for our hard work on keeping these steel soldiers rolling.

As much as I love Kendelrio's M715, it has won vehicle of the month and vehicle of the year several times already, Joe hasn't, so that makes deciding between the two easier this month.

Cheers

Honestly bud I just want some fresh blood in!

I know! Nothing negative about you and the lovely Gerty, who I voted for in the past, and I appreciate you getting things started this month. Usually I fret mightily over where the voting finger will land, this time I had a means to rationalize a choice, and spread the honours so to speak.

I saw what you did, by the way. Very decent.

Cheers

 

[Migginsbros]

Like wreckers,too.

 

[Robo McDuff]

Saw it just in time. Only two contestants, and I have to seriously think because I like both.
Whatever. As long as you vote, all is OK.

 

[M813rc]

Congratulations, Joe Betram!
And kudos to Kendelrio who very decently voted for the competition. Very gentlemanly move, sir.

Cheers

Thank you so much for your support and votes my daughter Joely and I work pretty hard getting these vehicles back to their glory days. Ken is an awesome man and I'm proud to call him our friend as he's supported us in many endeavors.

Is this the same Ken who has an overwhelming fascination with "lights"? That Ken?
DAMN good guy!

Congratulations Joe and family!
