Yep I would go for the standard M249 as that is the one most vet's will have an interest in. I've used airsoft replicas in my vehicle displays for years and they really help set the mood for the vehicle. I use an airsoft M60 and several M16a1's and 1911's in my Vietnam era display and most...

Anybody else heading to the MVPA show in South Bend this weekend? I'll be heading down with my M715 for display and will hanging out around the vehicle if you want to stop by and say hello. Of course, I'll be wandering around the swap meet areas as well searching for gold covered in OD green...

What was truly amazing was that this was the first time in 18 years that I did not drive one of my trucks for the parade. Instead my 16 year old son Zach got the honor of driving the M715 with me and the veterans in it.

Pics from our parade here in Hart Michigan, I only was able to get 4 of my 5 trucks ready (Dodge M37 needs valve seals). But we still had a great time and had plenty of people.

Our local one here in Hart Michigan is Monday and I'll be doing my usual by bring in all 5 of my trucks for the local veterans to ride in.

Looks like a solid start. Does it still have the litter racks in the back? Those can sometimes be a pain to track down if they are missing. Good luck and make sure to post lots of pics.

I know they closed down, but I'm not sure if it's permanent or just temporary. If you need marking check out this website, http://www.deltateamdecals.com/ as they can make markings in both decals and paint masks.

Yes, 5F 4585 would be a registration number for a US Army vehicle. The Marines and Air Force both used different numbering systems. If you need help with marking when you are ready to put them back on, check out my webpage for markings www.deltateamdecals.com , although not listed there I can...

My father's 313th ASA Crest pin still on his old Ridgeway hat, this hangs in my collection room. Him wearing it in Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis

Yep Dad was with the 313th out of FT Bragg in 62' and 63' but spent most of his time in Key West for the Cuban Missile Crisis. He spent a lot of time in the back of an M37 with a AN/MLQ-24 monitoring Cuban radar. Here are a few pics from that time period. M37 on the beach at the Grassy Key...

That's cool to see another truck marked for an ASA company. Several of my trucks are marked as ASA trucks representing the ASA units my father served with. He was with the 226th ASA and 313th ASA in the 60's.

The red C goes on one side of the holder plate that locks into the top to hold all the number plates. To display the C for combined weight (aka with a towed trailer) you turn the holder plate so the red C faces out and locks the number plates in. To display without the combined weight you turn...

You can get a decal set to remark the bridge plates fairly cheaply from here; http://www.deltateamdecals.com/bridgeplate.html It's only $10 and comes with every number and the red C.

Was a little disappointed when I arrived on Saturday, there was not much going on, only a few vendors there and a few vehicles on display. Nothing like it has been in the past were almost the whole field is filled up. Didn't stay long, took a walk through and saw everything in 15 minutes and...

I'm planning on coming over on Saturday to see what I can find and I'm also planning on bringing a couple of my lighted M38a1 Jeep grills to sell. They are perfect for the man cave or garage wall of any MV collector.

Yep, I plan on being there with my M715 and I paid the extra to be in the display tent. I'll be hanging out around it all week, feel free to stop by and say hi.

Nope, that was me who bought the carb/manifold from you. Thanks. I had a great time there and was able to pick up a few bits and pieces for a couple of projects I'm working on to finish before South Bend. One thing I still need to find though is 3 of the front blackout marker lights off the...

Yep, a buddy and I are planning on being there Saturday for the day. Like always, I'll be looking for green gold hidden in the piles. Ha Ha!

Want the most room? Ditch the spring ride seat for the old box style seat. I'm 6'4" 250 and have plenty of room in mine with the box style seat. I climbed into a buddies one time that had the spring seat, and it was way to cramped for me to drive. I would rather have the comfort of fitting over...

Yes that is #24087 which is the Vietnam era color and is the same I've used on my trucks.
