More pics, I took these last night when I got home from work. A couple of the guys in the shop helped me roll the shelter up a little better and get it wrapped in it's shelter carrier. It's still not rolled up correctly but it is at least set up now where I can lower the tailgate to unload it...

Glad to see you made it home the other night. I hope the rain wasn't too bad. I was nice to meet you and see your truck.

Well, thanks everybody. I just finally got it off my trailer and onto it's own wheels. Of course I had to slap to the back of the deuce and take it for a test drive. Rolled and tracked great, couldn't even feel it behind the deuce. Heck this thing is in such great shape that when I hooked...

Thanks, I still need to get it unloaded and hooked behind the deuce first. Once I start getting it opened up and cleaned, I'm sure I'll find a few more parts that I'll need.

More pics. I can't wait to get it cleaned up and set up!

Yep, it looked like it had been stored inside for quite a few years so it has not had much weather abuse. There was about an inch of dust settled on it when we pulled it out of the garage it was being stored in. Man I knoew the thing was big, but when he opened the garage door I was like wow...

I'll be running straight across US-10 to get there from over here on the west coast. With work and the kids I will not be leaving until early Sat. morning to get there, but I'm staying through Sun. I plan on getting there between 9 and 10 in the morning.

Well after driving for 18 of the last 36 hours, I'm home with my latest green toy. I picked up a very complete M51 chem shelter at a very good price. Everything appears to be there. The trailer only has some surface rust around the bottom edges. Tires look to be in decent shape with lots of...

Hey John, I know were an older gasser 5 ton wrecker is for sale here in Michigan. Last I heard he wanted $4500 for it. It is need of some basic resto work, but was a very solid platform to start from. We used it when I bought my deuce bed from him to load it on my trailer. seamed to run OK...

Re: RE: Clare MI Show Aug. 17-19th 2007 Saturday tends to be the best day, as a lot of people tend to pack up and leave after breakfast sunday morning.

Well this is getting close at about a month away and I haven't seen much chatter about it like last year. So here, lets get things rolling and figure out who all is going to try and make it this year. I plan on being there at least sat. the 18th through sun. the 19th. with both my M35 and M715.

Paul, we'll miss having you here this year, but have fun in the artic. I look forward to seeing your 715 once it's done. I'll be at Clare this year with both trucks. The Clare show is Aug. 17-19.

Don't be affraid either if you want to hang a for sale sign off of your truck while here. With a crowd last year of around 10,000 someone just might want to empty their pockets. Last year, a guy brought in an unrestored M37 on a trailer and was able to sell it to someone who caught "green...

Nope, it was the 860th medium class truck accepted. That's out of all medium class trucks for that year, not just M715s or M726s. The very first medium truck accepted for 1969 would be 03A 00169 reguardless which model it was as long as it was classified as a medium truck.

I've had good luck on a stuck shaft on my off-road Jeep using grease like David Doyle sugjested. Just keep pumping the grease through the zerk and use the grease to hydraulic the shaft out.

And that it was the 860th medium truck accepted in 1969. "A" being the from the first 999 accepted, and 860 being what number it was, 69 at the end indicates the year accepted, and 03 indicates medium class of vehicles. And as example, 03B 86069 would have been the 1860th medium truck accepted...

Come on over it is shaping up into a nice show. Remeber vehicles displays are FREE and prizes will be awarded by the public's vote, not some stuffy old rivit counting judge. Free show registration is availble here; http://www.davidallenracing.com/show-registration.htm and event info here...

I haven't heard from Gilbert yet. I'm going to try and meet up with Keith (Amanco) who lives in Delawere OH, tuesday night after I get to my buddies house. Rudyard sound like a good idea, but I don't think I'll have the extra time to get all the way up to there. It would add an extra 3 hours...

When I first wrote the write up about just bending the tab a little more to help it keep contact it worked great for me for about 6 months. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=5019Then it started to let the paw slide back under the tab. A lot of it had to do...

I'm still leaving on tuesday morning the 17th to get down to the OH/WV border area by around 4:00 BTT
