Had the honor of having the Napa, Solano Veteran riders pose on my wrecker for a group picture. It was a great event with over 15K people attend. A great opportunity to get the word out regarding our unique hobby. Hope to have more folks join me there next year.

Sounds great. Convoys are a lot of fun.

We can caravan down. I'm coming from the Dixon area.

I know it's short notice. I am helping to run the car show and have secured a section for an MV display. This is a huge event with over 15,000 spectators. Let me know if you can join me there.

Big differences between the two trailers. A couple quick searches and you'll find the answers to all your questions. Here's a thread to start you off... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?84819-Comparing-m101a3-and-m1101

Welcome from Winters/Dixon area. Got an MV yet?

Welcome from Nor. Cal.

Airpacks are in the $400.00 range nowadays. There are several suppliers on the internet as well as this site. I think I have some rebuild kits if you are interested.

I had the same issue with my truck. Turned out to be bent hinges. I took mine off the truck, banged them flat again and re-installed. BINGO!

Sorry, i just found this thread. I see you are using Lodi heavy equip. hauler. I'm not far from Lodi. If you need a place to store/work on the truck, let me know. I have acreage, a wrecker and a shop.

yes, Alan, you have to make it.

You all need to make it to tower park. It’s a great event.

The wrecker was a 4 year project. Very rough but solid bones. Never imagined so much sanding but once you made a clean spot, you can't stop. Period correct as best I could. Details include canvas interior and top, functioning VIC-1, paint, markings etc. Reproduced all plaques as well...

This wrecker became a labor of love. A true Vietnam Veteran tribute truck. Interior, including dash and dash tags are original. Everything else was restored to period correct. Vic 1, AR15 gun, gun ring, etc. The M543 was the pride of the motorpool. Thank you for your votes.

On the MVPA convention vendor list Midwest Mules space is "trailer space".

I hope we can all hook at some point. I'll be there Thursday thru Saturday mid-day.

1965 M543A2 Wrecker: Vietnam Veteran Tribute truck I'll throw the wrecker in again this year.

Way to go. Keep at it.

Coming along nicely.
