    Aberdeen 2007

    Hmmm, my truck made it up and back last year with a slight weep (don't recommend it), had the radiator out and replaced the following week (after having a local shop rework it)... I'll cross my fingers for you Nick... Congratulations on your daughter's graduation. :)

    Aberdeen 2007

    RE: Thank you Do I need to through my bucket of USMC canvas preservative/waterproofer in the truck??? Made a huge difference in my M35's top's ability to shed water (wish that I had used it before Aberdeen last year...).

    50 year old M52 getting it ready to drive home

    RE: Needle Gun efforts Looking good, and stout there David. I'm drooling... Hate to hear that you won't be getting her to Aberdeen, but maybee that will be a good excuse to get together later on (before you head to Korea...)... Best wishes.

    Aberdeen 2007

    RE: Thank you Thanks for the post about the bridge... Good thing is that we have a bit of "float" in the route schedule just for this sort of thing... Looking forward to seeing everyone and will have fingers crossed for a smooth trip for everyone.

    M817 dumps in Columbus, OH

    Gimpy, I've got to call you... Was talking to AMGeneral about perhaps making the run from Aberdeen to Columbus to pick up the truck that Monday if we can both swing the extra day off work. We've both got the vacation time on the books, but getting to use it might be another matter.... I know...

    Classifieds... Only place for ads?

    I prefer to see them in the forum...Heck, if you don't want them in the related five ton, m37, trailer, etc. forums, create one just for stuff to sell... I "never" look at the classifieds (just don't think about it), but notice things in the forums (especially since I use the "posted since...

    M817 dumps in Columbus, OH

    Got the email from GL today with the paid in full invoice attached... So it looks like the folks who review the paperwork (EUC's) still like me... :) Now, to figure out how to get it off their yard on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday sometime in the next fourteen business days given that I am...

    Aberdeen 2007

    My vote for chili would be Thursday... The last couple years, after driving up and arriving on Thursday having an "easy" meal at the camp has been good (pasta, chili, etc. where you don't have to work too hard to fix it, and you don't have to clean up after the long drive to eat it). A lot of...

    Rain Cap Flapper

    Yep, it's why I use a metal can on the M35A2 (water tanker..). More inertia when it hits... longer roll. :) We talked about shooting cans for distance at Aberdeen on another thread, but since I will have the wrong truck, perhaps I should judge???

    Rain Cap Flapper

    I've got a flapper on my '83 M35A2C (ex USAF). Works really well, and I don't have to install/remove the big gulp...

    Convoy T-shirts for those who ordered them and asked for them to be shipped got mailed this morning. There is still time to reserve a T-shirt although time is getting short for USPS delivery before the Convoy so shirt orders from non until the show will have to be picked up (unless you want...

    Deuce radio antenna, 5 ton style

    Well, I just got a box from Jeff at Tactical Truck with the antenna mount setup from a dump/tractor that mounts the antenna over the vent window just in front of the driver's door... I'll take pictures of it all when I gets mounted on my truck (assuming that I can find the camera...I seem to...

    OK, the table that I sent Gasser at the bottom of the Yellow Serial route info for him to post on the website seems to have gotten dropped and it doesn't look like it wants to post here in a readable format... (I'm computer challenged...). So: Leave Doswell at: 8:30AM Leave Millersville at...

    M38 Project...Done...

    Boy, I can't wait to get my Mule done so I can get to work trying to make my '52 M38 look like this one... Nice work. Where did you get the hat channels for under the floorboards? When I talked to John Bizal the other day (got a bunch of small parts from him), he said that he was not yet...

    Parking Brake Adjustment

    There is an adjusting nut on the end of the cable where it attaches to the shoes at the t-case end. You run out the adjustment at the handle, take up the slack on the t-case end, and you will be good to go for a long time (or until you wear off enough friction material that you have to reline...

    CG 107/U coax cable

    I'll ask one of my coworkers about this... He seems to have a very interesting collection of surplus radio gear that he shares from time to time that he collected over the years while recreating his setup from Vietnam (he was a commo weannie... :) ). I'll see if he has a spare long cable...

    U-joint replacement

    I got my u-joints from Ted Hills... Same price as TNJ Murray, but I like talking to Karen... :) Took longer than I had hoped to get them swapped out, as usual, one of the caps just didn't want to play nice... Job is done, time to move onto the little truck and replace some on it (will...

    M105 Lights

    RE: Re: RE: M105 Go to the Olive-Drab website... Look on the TM download page (I'll plug the URL in below so you can find it easily...). Look at the pages with both the full listing of circuit numbers (will show that your combination pair is: Turn signal switch to left rear stop lamp - a...
