hard hat, may miss you this year as I am supporting the PBR guys next weekend with a Vietnam display. Are you up for some Desert Storm at the Auburn Parade this year? It is time for a 25th anniversary salute. Not sure how many tan vehicles we can scrounge up, but would really appreciate you...

Erik, if you are close to Centralia, you are certainly welcome to come down and meet some of the NW crew. Check the upcoming events for the full schedule. Good luck with that old rascal.

Will do my best, but am not a very diligent photographer. Time to get prepping for 4 JULY.

There is a Military Appreciation evening at Allan York Park in Bonney Lake from 1700 - 2000 on July 6. A few of us will be doing a small display and have at this point, 3 vehicles coming. We are planning on being there no later than 1600.

We do have one or two guys that do Navy, but unfortunately they won't be there that day. There was an article this week about our counties last Pearl Harbor survivor and he was Navy, he was with the PBY squadron on Ford Island. They got their planes off between waves and didn't lose an...

I have a few small flags that we could probably zip tie one to your mirror frame. My wife and I will take care of the hamburgers and hotdogs, we will have some pop and water as well. Maybe veggie tray or fruit tray. Whatever you do, I don't think anyone will starve. Also I hadn't mentioned...

You might want to take the bottom of the aircleaner off and clean it. Even though there is oil in it, you should see a fill to line, there could be condensation and the water can cause the bottom to rust and pinhole leak. It is a cheap and easy check and fix if you catch it first. That looks...

Saberr what's wrong with the fenders? I can only see rt. front and it looks like one of the early reinforced fenders. If that is a 53 doesn't seem to be an issue. Mine is a 53, dead stock, not restored and it has one reinforced and one non reinforced. I think it probably got airdropped hard...

We have pondered on doing a long week end, Loop ride (convoy). Take the tents and have a slow weekend, maybe ending up at the military campground at Pacific. Too many events going on. Glad someone got to do it.

So far if weather holds, we have about 35 people signed up and around 16 vehicles. Please send me a note or call if you would like to attend. We have probably been doing this around 15 years now.

Isalandr, how many in your crew? Anyone else, if you haven't already gotten in touch with me about attending, please do, with numbers so we can plan for food. Thank you. Looks like this one is shaping up to have quite a few 5 tons.

Viking back to your questions 2 1/2 vs 5T, you might look in the upcoming events, 4 July in Centralia at 0900 we will be having a pretty good gathering of 5 tons. you could compare and talk with people that have them.

Tire shop fixed the four rims that were leaking. Turn signals weren't working on the 923A2, pulled the lens on all the signal buckets, disconnected the wires to the turn signal switch, then started crawling underneath, pulled the bolts that hold the rear lights, cleaned them, wire brushed the...

Aztec, now that's a redneck swimming pool. Here hold my b**r. It would make for an impressive quick stop. Even more impressive if you had the top off.

MD it has been a couple of years, but it seems that there is a plate inside that deforms and doesn't let the outside handle engage properly. Was able to take it apart, straighten the piece, and I may have reinforced it a bit, changed handle position and have not had any problems since. Took the...

If it blows off in two minutes, shouldn't be too hard to find. There are a couple of good threads on fixing those door handles. If it is the fix where a piece gets bent inside, it is fairly easy once you figure out how to get it apart. I did that repair and it has been working every since...

Found a persistent airleak, added a little teflon tape, and 24 hours later, still have 30 pounds in the primary tank. It depended on how the truck was setting, but usually it would bleed off in a couple hours.

OFM airshow Mission accomplished. had about a dozen people and 8 vehicles. Had a GP, MB, CCKW, M813, M923, M923A1, and two M151A2's. We slept in WW2 tents and ate at the field mess, cooked off Model 1937 field stoves out of the back of a 1943 CCKW.

Just put in parade registration. They do have a theme this year, Remember Pearl Harbor, 75th anniversary. They also have a requirement for all vehicles to sport a US flag. They don't say anything about size. Those with WW2 vehicles, try to do something towards the theme and the rest with M...

Bravo, you do have some great work going there. Thank you for sharing.
