Agreed! The Henry Ford has restriction on the historical vehicles but has granted a waiver on the military section so feel free to bring what you want and enter at no cost. Simply click military vehicle, have your insurance policy number handy, skip the driver's license and photo requirements...

This is the only event where the Ford organization allows POVs on the property - vehicles of all eras - and the military section is allowed to tent over night on property. Awesome for all re-enactors that enjoy providing the educational value and historical perspective. If you like public...

Bill - it was good to see your truck and trailer (aka The Hilton) at Lind's VanHoosen get together. That trailer is a hoot - just be sure you hide the flowers/vase that your wife keeps in it! You should do a whole write up on what you did and how it works. Simply amazing. I have the "Gen...

I bought a complete board and foam set from VPW that they had picked up overseas. They have sewn vinyl covers and I bought a new set of canvas covers from New Life. We ended up finding complete NOS seats with new covers. The VPW price was $100 and the canvas price from New Life was $150. I...

We bought a front and rear complete from Sid Beck, you can find him hanging out on the G741.org site with the other M37 gang. I actually have a complete rear that we ended not using. I can dig the paperwork out for the cost - but it was less than $100. Send me a pm if interested. Keith

The parade is on Monday 25MAY Memorial Day and the convoy meets at the American Legion Hall (8047 Ortonville Rd) at 9:00am for breakfast. The building is 1/4 north of the I-75 Exit. At about 9:45am, we drive to the downtown about 1.5 mile for the line-up, then follow the color guard in creeper...

Calling upon the guys in the area to see if you want to join a small convoy in a private ceremony. I hate to call it a parade because it is a limited event to only the veterans - no clowns/balloons. The Amer Legion/VFW vets march from downtown Clarkston to the cemetary for a wreath/ceremony...

We ended up with the Home Depot heavy duty stripper and then knocked it off with a power washer - messy as all get out but we were able to get near the metal.... had to sandblast the inside corners and some areas but it was quick work.

lane - sorry been really busy. The front exhaust is a little clam shell deal that bolts directly to the side of the bed. I too had another original rear bracket but there is no way that bad boy would work. We bought the rear from JB at MWM and it bolts straight up. Still have the other...

The J's go in the slot in door pillar near where the striker plate is for the latch. You'll see them when you install the side frames. The rod of the side frame has a little groove around it about a 1.5 inch up from the tip. Install the side frame and then look from the inside and you'll see...

Lane - we ended up going to Big John and buying his hockey stick blade bracket that bolts up at the rear and we added a rubber isolater to prevent it from chipping the paint (trailer queen - 'member?). We could never figure out the smaller original bracket (2 piece strap gizmo) nor did we find...

Lane - here are some more for reference - I also have some showing the stowed position. Keith

Anyone interested in Denman 9.00x16 tires unmounted with flaps/tubes? I bought an extra 5 tires from Phil Nelson, sold them twice, but each backed out. They are sitting inside the basement. I also have 5 rims that have been sandblasted/2 coats CRE/2 coats Acrylic Enamel (24087). Looking to...
