I missed this post or would have taken a gander at it yesterday... :( There is only one on the yard right now, so it should be easy to spot...

Who'd you send the PM to?? I've got nothing in the in-box (if you sent it to me, that is...).

Look under the "general" section of the forum index for the "Upcoming Events" forum... :) It's a great place to post your club, municipality, or other related function...

Mike's got a good point... :) My local group is no longer listed on the MVPA website. We allowed our affiliation to drop last year for a bunch of reasons (biggest one was that we couldn't figure out how they were helping our local group and thus couldn't justify the effort to remain an...

Guys, I'm looking at a pallet or two of stuff at Rock Island and was wondering if somebody is nearby that could help expedite getting them shipped down to me in Raleigh, or who could assist in getting them relayed to me at the Aberdeen Rally in May... Thanks,

They'll schedule a loadout in the afternoon, but they stop answering the phones at 2:00PM, and they really don't want to load after then either... They'd also prefer not to loadout on Tuesdays since they have to send at least one person over to Goldsboro (Seymour Johnson) to handle stuff down...

The worth of the five tons (and for that matter the dueces) depends on what they are and what condition they are in... Cargo, tractor, dump? Gas, Multifuel, Mack, or Cummins engine? ect... I always have need for parts, including entire spare parts trucks, and I really have a soft spot for...

If Downhill Bill stops by for a few, could somebody please bring a pressure washer... His 'deposit' was still visible when I pulled out on Sunday morning... :(

That's from BillW's webshots collection.... Photos are from APG (that particular Dodge varient lost out to the Kaiser 5/4 ton I believe) so David Doyle might have some info on it since he seams to be able to come up with a lot of interesting stuff from APG for his verious articles (and general...

There are a bunch of insurance companies that are not liscensed for business in NC that offer great rates to folks with historic MV's... Problem is that anything "odd" in North Carolina goes through the State's Reinsurance Fund (administered by the State's Insurance Commisioner...). Nice...

I've waited three months to fill one out and send it in... I don't remember seeing a time limit on the form, but I'm not looking at it right now... Hmmm...

Yep, there is a break in the sizes where they go from one center block to two... Not sure but I think it occures either at 12 or 14 inches in width. I know that the 900 and 1100 widths (both in 16 and 20 inch rims) only have a single center block. It would be nice if somebody could actually...

I'm thinking a bit ahead guys... ;) I'm working on getting some trucks ready for the East Coast Convoy to the Aberdeen MV Rally in May. Part of this process involved removing a pair of T245 (M37) engines from two trucks (one is getting a diesel conversion, the other a fresh rebuilt engine)...

Re: RE: What size/brand are these tires? I may be, but I do have a bunch of the Michelins XZL's in my yard... Photos of them (one posted of a XZL here) are on my website... Both the XL and the XZL or shown on my Photo Page 5 (has shots of differnt tires). The angle in the shot below...

Not sure what the price was, but when I was ordering stuff from Ted Hill's just before Christmas, they mentioned that they had the kits in stock... I think Saturn had them listed on thier website as well... I'd really like to know what you think of the setup when and if you get one installed...

The last four good, straight, takeoff tailgates that I had sold for $400 each. The last three that I had that were pretty badly mangled (would take more work to make straight than I would like to invest) went for $150-200 each. If you can't make a deal on one close to hand, I'd go with a...

I've delt with several of the folks mentioned here and think that Don makes some real valid points... Only thing that I would add to his post is that the dealers that I purchase from have also been happy to deliver to a show that both they and I were attending. Not always a MV show either (I...

Tread pattern is the same as a Michelin XZL... Can't read the size on the tire, nor the manufacturer name from the angle that the picture was taken... Who's truck is it? Ask them... :)

You can use 80/90 weight... straight 90 weight GL1 was what was specified.. Same caveats that we give for gear oil used in the larger trucks... Make sure that if you run a GL5 that it has the MT1 rating on it...

Interesting to note that all the early model USMC rigs that have run through my yard had the spare relocated from the bed to the side...
