G749 family project truck Congratulations on the NEW Date of Delivery...It's a 23 / 7 / 17 Deuce now? Let's do business first.....did you get your deposit back? If not, I'd like to not use those guys so let me know who they are. I've pulled deuces with a pick-up on soft-ground so she should...

I'm posting this just in case any of you travelers are heading north near the end of August. We expect about 20 vehicles for display and a 'yet to be determined' number of vendors. I will update as I learn more. http://www.mvpa.org/home/mv-events/ Albert, Canada, August 26, 2017: 1st Annual...

B-17 Canada visit Sentimental Journey, 2012 Edmonton, Canada

July 15th and 16th Alberta Rail Museum A few more choo choo pics. Real proud of my Endura brother donating the paint for many projects. I thought our hobby was expensive but one of these trains will take 135 gallons of oil for an oil change so we've got it pretty good.

July 15th and 16th Alberta Rail Museum We had a trainload of fun at the Alberta Railway Museum. Part of the Convoy met at the end of Namao's runway where B-29's once launched. http://wayback.archive-it.org/2217/20101208165515/http://www.abheritage.ca/aviation/history/military_namao.html...

Snakes hey, let's keep that story quiet! Sure glad it turned out the way it did. The wives would never let you boys play together again if you go off getting hurt. As it is, one of us is going to be telling the ladies "we're off to look at a truck".....and now the reply is going to be, "remember...

That PDF would help everyone with 159 pages of its fancy troubleshooting sections, part numbers and descriptions. We have an Early Deuce Airpak Rebuild Sticky but it should be shared with the entire board. It kinda needs it's own home because it covers a lot of systems. It's also a business in...

Most of those units are in the pictures on this thread. The only additions will be a few more oddity Iltis boys, maybe a few more LSVW camping units, one real nice Bren Gun carrier that the Reserves are trailering in...and possibly a 5 Ton from the U.S. We'll be sure to get pictures.

July 15th and 16th Alberta Rail Museum After months of planning with various museum boards......we got our act together and the show is this weekend, July 15/16, 2017. I'll stick next years dates in the "Upcoming Events" forum once confirmed. Maybe some of our Steel Soldiers will tie your...

We see and smell your smoke signals. Good to read you buddy! PM me a better contact number. I lit up your house phone so you'll have weird text to landline garbo to listen to when you get home. That extra logging around your place seems like a good idea now. Looks like you've got both Thuya...

Firestone Accuride You know your stuff SpecialT.....even with partial info you picked up on these being a 2 piece lock ring, 3 piece rim. .......and the part about military vs. civilian, you nailed it. Not even close. Thanks for helping keep things straight. We're moving forward, found...

Jerry can USMC not U.S.M.C. Your info should be a stickie and in an encyclopedia! Thank you. I cleaned a little harder and found 1962 under the contract number DA44 193 OM 1306. It's USMC, the can company, US on both sides, clean bottom....U.S.M.C.00-08 must have this! I even checked the...

I tried dialing a while ago, no answer yet. We'll keep knocking!

We may end up going there quickfarms, eventually. We're only doing one show this year, 30 miles from home base so without compromising safety, we're keeping a low budget. I was just hoping someone from our lock ring team played with the various width GM rings and could say, without a doubt...

G749 mufflers We need to find some brave trucks to try these out and get a few more testimonials from the prooving grounds. We'd be real happy to see one on an M133 though. What would the team say about painting them? Any suggestion on some serious muffler paint?

Continued' Rim difference G749 to 66 coach bus We found a bad lock ring on our 8.25 / 20 rims for the yellow bus. Do the lock rings off our 1950's 9.00 / 20 or 11.00 / 20 early deuce fit the 1960's 8.25/20 GM bus rim? Kal Tire found some new rubber for our Civil Defence bus and we have one...

That's a cool bit of information right there, thank you. Most cans I've seen had a date stamped on the bottom but this one isn't obvious. Is there anyway to determine it's age without cutting it in half and counting it's rings, like I do with trees? This salvage yard contains bits and pieces...

The truck is perfect for a rubber up restoration. Fairly straight, nearly complete, nostalgic factor is high, useful, big,,,,all good.

July 4th Journey's Oh ya, Don't post and drive, safe journey home. Here is one more pic of how smooth your fender should look when you get there!

USMC find in Edmonton I would never have thought that I'd be walking through a scrapyard in mid-northern Canada and find......not one, but two items that should belong to you. I grabbed the can for you, it has USMC stamped in the top and not sure how to decipher the date....either 44' or 93'...
