Re: [MV] Movement to ban private ownership of MVs gainsmomentum

NONE of the M35, M37, M38. M43, M135 M54 or M211 trucks were originally
equipped with turn signals. Many of them came with only a single brake
light the size of a half dollar.

I don't know when the upgrade kits were applied, but I assure all of you
that turn signals on these trucks were aftermarket upgrades (MWO's).

Does my M35 have stop, turn, and "break" lights? Of course it does. I would
not be able to register it in NY State if it did not. I have added
(manually-operated) back-up lights, and have all the gear ready to install,
to add a limit switch to the gear shift to make them operate automatically.
The state does not require them, but I added them for convenience and
safety. I have also added clearance/markers, and conspicuity tape, to make
the truck DOT compliant. It was not necessary, as it is registered as an
historical vehicle, but prudence dictates an occasional expense.

Are you aware of any M-series truck that is not equipped with stop, turn and
brake lights? I am not. You claim that "deuces" do not. (CCKW's do not.
M135/211/35 do.) I have never seen an M-series deuce, 5-ton, or ten-ton
that did not. Please explain your concerns more explicitly.
