Decide if you like the extended height before you cut your uprights. A canvas shop for boats can make tarp extensions for you.

I rode in an M211 as a kid and I have been hooked on MV's ever since. Thanks for the great video!

Is the crankcase building up pressure somehow either when running or after shutdown?

Somebody needs to RTFM. Start here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/939/TM9-2320-272-10.pdf

What route did you take? Any photos?

It is not an 800 series if it has the Mack engine, it would be the M54A1 type. The engine is very desirable for its longevity and wide power band. Unless the truck or engine is thrashed in some way, it sounds like a great find.

I think both the MVPA and Steel Soldiers can benefit from a better relationship and understanding of each other. I happily support the MVPA (and the ATHS) for their efforts in lobbying etc. I urge all SS members to check out the MVPA and join if it sounds interesting to you.

Happy birthday! Mandatory MV content: when I was a kid, my dad would take us up in the hills, or at least to the neighborhood school in his M422 Mighty Mite. We had quick launches on 24 Volts! My last rocket took 3 C engines and sometimes they wouldn't all light off. I fixed things by...

You are a redneck if you've had to help a friend start a clapped-out, fully loaded U-Haul truck by jumping the starter terminals with a big screwdriver.

Boss man needs me to work Saturday, so it looks like I'll miss this one. Really bummed out...

Brake fluid is more likely, unfortunately.

I had this issue when I owned a 1984 M1009. It turns out that the DoD selected the 1983 model and told GM to build them just like that. In other words, the engine mounts for a 1983 6.2 Diesel Blazer are the CORRECT ONES and WILL FIT. I found this out the hard way and had to return the 1984...

Thanks for the link. My brother lived near Oshkosh for a number of years. I liked to time my visits to coincide with the EAA show. I especially liked checking out the seaplanes at the cool park by the lake on a warm afternoon.

Hey Papaydsailor, are you bringing that nifty rubber boat in your avatar? The lake is not too far away...

Is anyone planning to bring kids to this event? I might bring a grandson or two.

If you're looking for logos, check out aths.org They may have logos you could copy. Many of the companies are or were obscure, so it may be hard to find those logos. Also, the logos change over time, so a logo from WWII might look quite different from their modern logo. Corporate web sites...

Ling-Tempco-Vaught (LTV) made the prototype Gamagoat and Consolidated Diesel Electric Company (CONDEC) made the production version, if I remember correctly. CONDEC also made some M123 10-ton tractors.

Nash, also WWI. Harley Davidson and Indian for WWII motorcycles. American Motors (pre AM General) for the Mighty-Mite.

You can usually stop a runaway by shooting a fire extinguisher down the intake. I hope you get lucky with your engine.

Yes they do.
