First Wash In 15 Years: ABANDONED MOLDY Army Truck! | Car Detailing Restoration

[@will6016]

7 months 😢where have you been. You were my way to fall asleep at night

[@hoooneddydoggy334]

Hope all is well with you. Noticed you haven’t uploaded in awhile. These videos have taught so much fr fr. Underrated king

[@lorinwatson1205]

Just for anyone wondering: this is an LMTV-Light Medium Tactical Vehicle, troop carrier version. The single rear axle indicates that it’s light. Then there is the MTV Medium Tactical Vehicle, which has two rear axles. 63B all wheeled vehicle mechanic, I worked on and drove these trucks for 8 years in a reserve unit in Idaho. Also, in Virginia we used up-armored versions with trailers to haul pipe for IPDS- Inland Petroleum Distribution System. Thanks for this and taking me back, really brings back some great memories.

[@Lakeshow11]

It evens tells you the division and battalion on the vehicle

[@chrisc9769]

​@@Lakeshow11it's Battalion/Squadron - Regiment. The Army has never had a 7th Cavalry Division. Though I haven't been able to find a 313 Sqd 7th Cav. I can say for a fact that 7th Cav Regiment is An active Cav Regiment though. Cause when I was with 6-9 CAV 3 BCT 1CAV. One of the other Battalions in our BCT was 2-7 CAV.

[@freddieRODZ]

As someone who drove these trucks for a long time. This is the best detailing I’ve ever done. We never even cleaned the insides 😂. Great job!!

Made our Soldiers clean their equipment out at COB each day before they were released. They stopped being blue falcons real quick.

What kind of truck is this? is made in the US?

@@lordveider we generally call them FMTV's (family (of) medium tactical vehicles) [or] LMTV (lightweight medium tactical vehicle) depending on the axles and weight raiting.

[@OLH3rd]

The touch-up paint really made a huge improvement!! Great job on the doors!

As this is the last video uploaded by M.A.D., I am commenting here. I sincerely hope everything is OK, and the long hiatus is not due to some serious problems. All the best to the M.A.D. Team!

[@Shuttlesworth73]

So happy for you bro. I’ve been with this channel from the start and to see where you came from to where you are now is amazing. Get to a million subs!! It’s going to happen!! Keep up the great work. 👊🏾✊🏾

[@evanselaban7058]

Bro that’s going over and beyond, love your passion and wish every bit of success and hope you reach all your goals. Love how you take nasty and dirty and make it beautiful again

As an Army veteran I enjoyed this video.

Come back please i love your Videos i miss These Videos

[@DCNY22]

That spray paint made that detail perfect.. can’t believe how good it matched

[@michaellukeman697]

It looks better than it did when it first showed up to the Battalion Motorpool! Great job

[@SPUDHOME]

Better not great

[@shaynehinkle1104]

As a former Combat Medic we used these trucks for everything including patient evac. I really commend you on the detail job. I know the guy paid you for this but I appreciate the detail you took.

[@BFVgnr]

That's from the Third Infantry Division out of Ft Stewart GA, previously assigned to the Medic Platoon of Headquarters and Headquarters Troop of the 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment. 3/7CAV was under the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, up until it was deactivated in 2015.

[@richwalter3107]

I supported 3/7 in the 70's when we were in Germany. ( they had Sheridans, then and wore black berets) Had to stop and recall what the bumper numbers were saying.

[@chuckstercam]

That's what I thought. They had that whole off-base compound to themselves. Out of the back gate by 87th CSSB.

[@BobbyHillVGK702]

I bought a couple products from your website a couple months back, and see your ads on IG, so I know you're still doing the business. Just wondering if you've got so busy with the business and your new shop, and that's why no vids in almost a year. Loved watching your vids. Let everyone know you're still alive and ok lol

[@Peter.w]

That was great to see! Doing an old army truck makes for a welcome change in alot of detailing channels well done!

[@131dyana]

My brother worked on those trucks during the Vietnam War. You made that truck look a whole lot better than when we first saw it. Great job.

[@clutchpack1969]

uh these trucks first hit the ground in the mid 80's as a prototype

[@LA_Commander]

These trucks weren't really out until the 1990s. But we did have the older style 2 1/2 ton and 5 ton trucks though.

[@vangestelwijnen]

Love the finishing touches on this one. Well done!

[@BryceBaker-ft4pn]

So happy to see this monster back with his glory😂 you did the magic

[@cruzzindodge]

Drove the LMTV many times... we use to just hose them off inside and out with high pressure water canons... so you should have just power washed the inside. All military vehicles are designed to do deep water crossing!

[@LTX-Shep]

Congrats on the property, Foster. You continue to set an awesome example to the folks here and show the American Dream is alive and well...if one puts in the work.

The paint is CARC (chemical attack resistant coating) you can use a scrub brush on it and not hurt it. I was In the Army when these came out. They were pretty fun to drive.

[@beckymcdowell1977]

Btw- I am very proud of your business success and wish you many years of prosperous detailing! Your work ethic and thoroughness is unmatched by anyone i have watched!

Being a detailer, you should know that you don't use body brushes on glass. There's a possibility of transferring road grease from the body to the glass. It happens no matter how good your cleaners are or who makes them.

Nice attention to detail 👍🏾

[@southerncharm2023]

What happened to you man?

[@Shadowman...]

The only thing about painting over rust is that you don't know where the rust was in order to treat it. I understand this was a quick fix and to make it look better ( and it came out awesome ) But in a perfect world ~maybe a rust converter first then the camo tan color. The cross logos are tough to paint, perhaps a sticker logo in the future would work best. Nice job overall on that military beast.

[@DutchBikeGuy]

This is not detailing, he just properly washed the vehicle.

[@Ricossmft28]

Ahh yes the venerable lmtv damn fine trucks took all our abuse and asked for more, the up armored ones I used actually had a special paint that was very hard once dried and mildly added to the ballistic capabilities also it was probably originally green and was sprayed tan before going overseas many army Vic’s get sprayed multiple times also you can just use a hose to clean the interior there drain plugs in the foot wells that’s how we would wash them just drive em into a big trough full of water and then blast em with these big ass water cannons really fun actually especially the tanks and brads iykyk
