In my 3+ years on the list I have come to the
conclusion that there are different strains of the OD
virus. There are some folks like Todd Paisley and
Alan W. that are definately terminal. The are folks
like Jeff at Tactical Truck or Joe Y. that can at
least do it as a business. Then there are sub-strains
that are grouped by size. There are the jeeps and
mutts, the 5/4 tons and WC's, the dueces, the arty
types, and the track toads.

I personally have been infected by the GMC variant
which causes me to seek after anything that falls into
the G749 basket (2 1/2 ton 6x6 trucks).

In playing with my toy recently I have come to a new
level of appreciation and empathy for service
mechanics and other large truck owners. Changing a
water pump in 30 degree F weather outside must be what
is called character building experience.

What ever your level of infection, enjoy and spread
freely.
