It's all good, I'm looking forward to the progress in the build and if I need to take one for the team to see an air-brake, crew cab, I'm all in. Had the M207 moving on the weekend and just got back from a run in the 135 so I can't keep all the fun to myself. Having a spare 'parts' truck...

Raising a Unified voice Thanks for the replies guys. It's good to know there's still some youth out there digging into the tools. Private collectors may be the only people hanging on to rare military vehicles in the future because 'museums' seem to be difficult to sustain. Get yourselves some...

I'm bumping this old thread to get some current info and help with some future and permanent MV storage/display and care potential. The point of this thread was to discuss and search for a way to organize and support the future of Historical MV owners. Did anyone see any progress south of the...

Bow Height This M135's Canadian troop seats and canvas can be raised or lowered. I raised the middle bows to do an overnight trip for the airshow and left the front one low.....for aerodynamic induced fuel savings.;-) The bow on the back broke and is on the bench but the result was a groovy...

Historical G749 Visit Our City Archives is located in a building I landscaped 20 years ago. It's one of Edmonton's most impressive military structures and celebrates 100 years, on September 27th. http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/prince-of-wales-armouries.aspx I was doing some Dew...

At 1:37 when you turn in to the driveway........are you being followed by a LEO? Is there a story behind this or just coincidence?

Happy Truck, Happy Life Did they push air into the distributor to keep positive pressure? You mentioned Positive Crankcase Ventilator PCV......The base on the GMC has a valve but no lines. I'm confused. Lets look at pictures and watch a movie, we still have the coolest trucks, even if we don't...

G749 video That's a happy nine minutes and twelve seconds. Best movie I've watched since Titanic...except we'll watch your movie again! Muffler, We're going to need them by the sound of it. That's loud! Shift timing Your 2 to 3 high shift is tighter/shorter than Goose and a tad longer than...

G749 goes to A&W I usually get a bunch of photos for you folks on the Friday night A&W tour. The weather was spectacular and over 700 vehicles filled several parking lots leaving no daylight to park in. Goose parked blocks away until the Hot Rodders that are afraid of the dark, fired up and...

G749 Welcome to Steel Soldier's Early Deuce Group Establishment for Yoddlers....or EDGEY. Really looking forward to a custom project so don't be afraid to post up as many problems and pictures as you can. We've all wanted a re-powered 6x6 but the finish line hasn't been there for a lot of...

I wish I could help with this but only have a wee bit experience with the 50's GMC. The GMC tech manual says to do this with a hot engine and if the valves are too tight a 'lash' will cause the valves to burn, especially on the exhaust. Valve lash on the 302 GMC is 0.012 for the intake....and...

We've been growing potatoes for a century so you're in for a treat. We'll make sure they're fresh. I was pulling the rad cap when it was cold and making sure I could see green, topped it up to the neck this spring. A couple of times, even when cold, Goose would spit some back out at me when I...

GMC Hydromatic That sounds like the last line of every verse in a country song. Can I use it?......If you moved 75 miles closer and I used '300 miles away', it would fit better. My other M135,,, is still,,300 miles away. Click here and listen while we remember our Military and Emergency...

You were out cruisin' and we don't get any video? Pictures of you around town?......pickin' up ice cream? In front of City Hall, the liquor store?? :-D That temperature doesn't seem outrageous. The book says there's a pressure valve in the top tank that is between 6 1/4 and 7 1/2 lbs and it...

That conversion looks too easy not to try. We could run civi spark plugs and wires which could keep a few more trucks on the road for a little less doe. I'm going to spend the next two weeks pullin' horse shoes out of my behind because Goose is a rocket ship again and I'm a lucky dog. The new...

Troubleshooting misfire Found some time to do some maintenance and troubleshoot the misfire at higher RPM. I hit the parts store for a simple plastic fuel filter that usually hangs on a shelf. Everything in this "Parts Source" has been packaged in cardboard and tucked in the back so the boys...

M20 Restoration Just a few update photos of progress on the M20. I couldn't wait for the finish so built a decent model of the M20 that works good as a motivator. The boys must be playing with the model in the bush around the shop. They've already got the headlight guards busted off. Good...

B-25 departure Pappy Boyington and the Corsair are 2 of my favorite things......I better add these departing shots for you. While having great responsibilities, MVPA membership has it's privileges and we get close to the gear so I'll take better pictures next time. I grabbed these photos...

Just trying to save myself some embarrassment...... Just play the Benny Hill music and picture me lifting a cab with a mini-hoe. It actually went really well and I'll do it again so.....you're coming??? Bring my transmission and motor..lol. I found a new re-built transmission but the owner is...

Muffler This is going to be like a big green bike, back smashing muffler reunion. I remember when the muffler kid's Dad broke his back, while dirt biking ......so bikers should get a special gimp rate, me thinks. This was one of the kid's projects for his sled. He's got great support and the...
