Same here - I like the GA rally and seeing the rest of "our" people that don't get to come to NC. The trail rides are usually awesome too. I'm just don't like hauling a trailer 3hrs to go to a rally that I can usually only attend for 2 days. There are trails about 15 miles away, but I've never...

Might have to take you up on a test drive - always wanted an LMTV. Do you still have a HUMMWV? I could prob talk my wife into one of those easier, lol Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Would love to, but I don't have anything to haul BOTH on. You know you can drive whatever I bring - I trust you with it.

I plan on being there at least Friday and Saturday - OF COURSE it still falls during my work schedule, so I'll have to take vacation. Not sure if the family will be with me or not. I'm in the final stages of body work on the USMC M38a1, so I'm pretty sure I will have it there this year instead...

RUN! RUN AWAY FAST! Just kidding - I have owned a '54 for 20yrs. I finished restoring it about 5-6yrs ago. Although "finished", I continue to redo and upgrade things as time and money provides. I bought a '64 USMC contract M38a1 last January and have been SLOWLY rebuilding it. Working on the...

Thanks Zout - I might have to get some of that stuff! Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Nice! Thanks for the writeup and pics. Good job! I looked up the Wild Dog soap, but didn't see anything about it killing rust - I would love to find something that can be used in a pressure washer that would do that.

I have been doing a little research. Hopefully this info will help someone in the future. The width of an M100 is 56 1/4" (according to the data plate). This is the widest point (the fenders). The M416 is 60.5". You can remove the fenders on both of these to make them narrower by about 3". With...

Hey Will. I'm down in Richburg. There are a few more in this area, a few in your area and a few more in Ft. Mill area. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

I don't doubt that some trucks are wider than others - it just turns out that the new f150s MUST BE narrower, because (other than getting the fenders above the tailgate opening of the truck) there was no way that trailer was going to get past the tailgate opening. An m100 would have fit though -...

Well I FINALLY got it home! Not going into great detail, but let's just say it ended up taking 13hrs for an 8hr recovery. Sleet, snow, slush. Didn't take a trailer because I read that the m416 will fit in the back of a full size pickup. It WON'T fit in the back of a 2017 f150 - it was about...

Yeah, prob so. I found all flex hoses on Rock Auto, delivered, for $85. I can get the calipers locally for $64 ea. Turn the rotor for $12. Hopefully the bearings weren't hurt, but I'll repack them anyway. I am working on getting the trailer - I have someone that is fairly local that said he...

I changed the fluid last year when I replaced the master cylinder and rear rotors/calipers/pads - should have gotten anything out of the lines doing that. Once I replace the flex hoses and front calipers, everything will be new except the front rotors. I had the rotors turned when I replaced the...

I've had a couple of offers to pick our up and deliver or store it for me. I just hate to put anyone to any trouble doing a favor for me - especially since this place has such a strict pickup time. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Hey, now I have a new piece of kit to keep in the truck! Going to replace ALL of the brake hoses and right front caliper. Then the only things that won't be new is left front caliper and both front rotors. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

Well as it turns out, Friday, after 1:00PM is the only day for pickup at this place. This was not specified on the auction. Now, add to that the fact that your item has to be picked up within 10 business days, TODAY was the only day that I can pick it up! Or should I say the only day I can pick...

I won an auction through Govdeals yesterday for an M762 trailer. I am planning on picking it up on Monday or Tuesday. My primary plan is to take 2 wheels with good tires along with tools and wheel bearing grease. Remove/clean/repack bearings, change wheels/tires and pull it home (246 miles)...

From oddave715: Ole girl has a lot of potential. The dent in the wheel well on the bed can be worked out. Luckily, my Brother owns a body shop and can do what I don't have the skills for - I have been trying to learn a little bit about body work though (I can handle the mechanical and...

Maybe - I told him I've been an mvpa member over 20yrs and could promise him that it wouldn't get cut up or modified (except maybe the engine). He said that's what his dad would have wanted because he always wanted to restore it. Hopefully he will take that into consideration and let me have it...

He just said that he had been doing some research and saw them selling for up to 10k. I last saw this truck about 20yrs ago - it was in MUCH better condition then. Been sitting outside for 6-7yrs. I'm pretty sure they have the title. Been in the same family for 25yrs - a ww2 vet. owned it. He...
