So don't you value your vehicle for historical purposes? While not living in that state, everyone I own is an historical vehicle. It is sort of odd that for the minor amount of vehicles out there, they would exclude any of them from being purposed for business.

Just about time to roll out for tomorrow. Look mom, guess what followed me home. Gamewardens of Vietnam PBR out for a fuel run. Boat and truck, well over 300. Ouch.

Hello Team, 4 JULY summerfest in Centralia WA on the 4th. 0800 breakfast in the park, 0900 - 1230 historic military vehicle and stuff display, 1230 head to my house for lunch, 1430 head for the parade, 1600 parade and then company dismissed. This is an open era event, WW1 - Current are...

You should try Brad Milne at McKenna. 209-810-2311 I got my last one from him.

I use 4-0 steel wool, sometimes water for lube and sometimes lacquer thinner. But I like the carb cleaner idea. Hadn't heard that one before.

There are some good threads on here addressing this type of issue, including the 1998 letter from the FMVSS people addressing the idea that military vehicles are designed for 60 percent highway and 40 percent off road. There is also that Fed rule that vehicles over 25 years old don't have to...

Moved the NW Chapter of the Gamewardens of Vietnam M931A2 from Kent, WA to Chehalis yesterday, for tomorrow's open house, depending on snow. Of course we picked nearly the coldest day of the year, so the batteries weren't having any of this starting stuff. It has been parked at Pacific Power...

Thank you all for your work on this. You had a lot of good info in there. I have been battling for a couple of years on a 923A2. The State Patrol inspector disallowed it because of no FMVSS sticker. Even though it is over 25 years old. You are giving good ideas on how Historical military...

Darn and I was almost ready to part with my 69 dated box. They will look good in your display.

Mike, 8 DEC we will be having the lighted tractor parade here in Centralia. Bring you family if you guys are available for it. 1400 at my house to help people light up the vehicles. I will make some hamburgers and then we head to the parade for an 1800 start. Your display sounds perfect...

But the antennae is tan! Are you feeling okay Mike? Wish you could have had that setup with us at the Capital last weekend. It certainly would have made a statement. met a man at the Ft. Lewis Museum yesterday that asked about the 5 tons we had at the Capital. It seems that the 1SG's truck...

Good luck and keep us posted. What year is it?

We can sit back and hope they quit this nonsense about not licensing former military vehicles or we can do something about it. Victory usually doesn't go to the one that sits back. I want to see what they are basing their denials of licensing on. Right now it looks to me like the basis is...

We must be getting some traction somewhere on this topic, as I got a call from a staffer in the Governor's office on the way home today. Is anyone working on legislation for WA around this topic of Historic Military Vehicles? Their concern was that something along this topic may come up in the...

Don't know where you are located, but I have access to a 5th wheel plate you could borrow and flop on it and call it a tractor. I for one am getting tired of all these can't do people. I am looking for people that can make things work.

If it already has a license, you should be in good shape, but if you don't, it may be a hassle. I have talked with a couple of my state representatives and floated the idea of adding an Historical Military Vehicle section. They weren't opposed. Was talking with another one of the guys and he...

I did get registration started as an Off Road Vehicle. I asked the lady, how many 21,000 pound off road vehicles they register. It isn't her fault, she is following the rules on what they are telling her. It is interesting about what they started in September as I applied before that.

I was not successful with my June re-inspection of the 1991 M923A2. It did get inspected and the inspector wrote down Serial number, even though the data plate says Identification number, then he put a note that there was no VIN. He also said that it did not meet the FMVSS and has no tag in...

Turn Signals not working. Thank you for this older post. Old post, but new truck to me with the same problem. The tech advice still works. Pulled the bulb out of the turn signal unit and turn signals worked. Will be looking for the BA9S LED bulb tomorrow. Local Auto parts store didn't have...
