I drive my '71 M35A2 almost every day at least 10 miles(yesterday I did 80). I always jump in, fire her up and turn on lights and flashers, and jump out to do a quick look around. I look at all the tires and check all bulbs. I also glance up at exhaust just out of habit. After the 5 min wait...I...
Amber did the write-up for me as well as took notes during the trip. :wink:
The trip will be great and long. I cut Hoquiam out to save us a little time.
Cabela's opens at 8. If you have never been in one(this is the first one in the PNW) you might want to get to the rally point early just to...

WSP notification
Just got off the phone with a very helpful person at Washington State Patrol HQ. We do not require a permit of any kind for our event. We are good to go as long as all of our vehicles are private owned, registered, obey all posted laws and do not "harass" other drivers. He...
Well, It's official now...no turning back....full steam ahead....because the Port-A-John is ordered!:razz:
We are just a short month away. Still time for those of you undecided to join in!

Thanks again to all for the support of this operation.
a sin?

Sorry I can't help. Just as a reminder, The Hood Canal bridge is closed till about June 15th. This trip will need to be done on HWY 101 long way down the Canal.
Generator set/trailer
CARNAC, Please let me know what you can find on this. Not exactly sure which #'s will come up, as it seems to have two sets. One for the Power unit as a whole and one for the trailer alone. I'll give you as much data as I can.

Got to play with the PU today. After fluid checks and adding gas, both sets fired off! Both ran great after sitting for 10+ years. They came right up to 110vac/62hz.
Now I just need to build a cable and equip the house with a plug and X-fer switch.
Another quick question.......Was...
What to do?
Went and looked at one of these yesterday. The very nice owner also had a M52 5 ton. I can get both trucks for a song, but have not pulled the trigger. I hate that both trucks seem to be scrap/ part out jobs. Tons of $ would be required to restore either of these old warriors.

Update
I grabbed the trailer and gensets. New pics to follow soon of the recovery. Towed great at 55. Came with canvas cover/title/tech manual.
Thanks for all the great info fellas!
