Here is the Fall 2022 flyer, UPDATED September 6. Several activities moved around. We are not planning MV showcases at that one so if anyone wants to organize a last minute one, ask a MVCC officer or me if it's OK to use the practice arena at the fairgrounds, or maybe the amphitheater at the...

Here is the full page color ad that is coming out in Military Vehicles Magazine later this week. It is mostly for the 2023 April show with a bullet for the Fall 2022 show. Much of the info is the same for each. We want to get the news about two of the themed MV showcases being planned for April...

Old thread but this is not a good forum for GTB posts. SS doesn't have one for 1.5 ton vehicles. Maybe the owner will create a forum for them. Apparently you have to ask.

This Fall 2022 swap meet and MV show returns to the 49er Village RV Resort and adjacent Amador County Fairgrounds in quaint, historical Plymouth, September 14-17, 2022. This is the smaller version of "the biggie" which is the April Camp Plymouth, which is scheduled for April 19-22, 2023. the...

Old thread, but if you are looking for GTB parts or want to talk GTB, Don Gomes in Central CA will be your friend. His number is on post #78. He usually attends the Camp Plymouth meets in September and April which is the biggie in the West..

We added something to the schedule. Willard Reproduction 6v Battery Cover Discussion Group & Display will be a meeting from 10:30-11:30 next to the Ford GTB Showcase Friday morning. Robert Lentz from Florida created, built, and sold many of these over the past year or so, discussed heavily on...

There will be a showcase for M151 series vehicles Friday April 29 from 1-4 in the arena by the parking lot and Tent Sector campground. All welcome, any condition. See general event info on the Upcoming Events forum here on SS.com, and a daily activities schedule on the calendar at...

Made a few minor edits and posted the event flyer.

I am in!!!

More info is on the promoter's website www.MVCCNews.net with a link at the top of the event calendar. Look for all event info and eventually an activities schedule over the coming weeks and months. Here is a flyer for the GTB Bomb & Cargo Truck Showcase. More info to follow about the M151 MUTT...

The biggie returns to 49er RV Village Resort and adjacent Amador County Fairgrounds the last week of April 2022! Scenic, quaint Plymouth in the Shenandoah Valley Wine Country in the low California foothills will see more hunters of olive drab, forest green, and battleship gray artifacts than...

Yeah very light turnout. Even the civilian camper-count in the RV village was light. We heard these excuses for not attending: 1. Smoke. This turned out to be a nothing burger. Pretty easy to learn likelihood of smoke a couple days before trip by the weather forecast (wind direction - the...

Hot news as of 9/1 afternoon... a letter from MVCC president: Due to the ongoing Caldor Fire, the Amador County Fairgrounds will be an evacuation center. At this time the MV event tenting area and parking lot is moving to the upper field. Please do not enter the fairgrounds at the Empire St...

You will get more jeep action on a different forum and try Facebook, the G503 page.

If you all would like a better forum for GTB talk, ask the owner to create one. Seems like a Trucks 1/2 Ton to to 1 1/2 Ton forum would be good. Merge with the Dodge one. Or Small Trucks Non-Dodge?

Price has everything to do with how solid the frame and sheet metal is. Rust-through or not? Tweaked frame? Welded fixes? Also your own skills. If you will do all the work, great, but if not then you should buy it on the low side. The incorrect motor usually hurts resale but if this one has more...

Updated original post with info about a military vehicle excursion on Thursday morning. Also a slightly different procedure for booking a site at the RV Village.

Forum is a great idea. The munitions and MV hobbies attract similar people and the forums will probably cross promote each other. Attract new people into both. Guns and ordnance, whether live or deact or movie prop can be vehicle accessories. No different than radios. I have a question though...

Updated flyer/ad 8/11/21. Also see updates in the original post. g

Sonoma Valley Airport in the wide spot in the road called Schelleville between Sonoma Raceway and town of Sonoma is hosting another "cars and coffee" type event with a twist - it will be on a runway and taxiway and include classic and ex-military airplanes! There are many based at this airport...
