Colorado, dude... we need moe info man, cough cough. Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Everything is fine except she will run only with choke on and brakes don't work?

Highway Deuce Well I never dreamed I'd be wheeling down the highway in a 56' GMC 6x6. Always put it on a trailer to get it the 40 miles to the farm but the day was nice and my wrecker buddy said he'd wait for a call. She ran flawless so we stopped for a visit at Total Off Road Experience...

Shop van M207 That's what the brother said, why paint before the body is done....it's sat outside since 52' with that paint, what's another winter. Wasn't my choice, no siree. Sat beside Gracie and said, "I have 1 day and $300.00, what do I do?". Well' trucks don't have ears but a dog came...

Hard to put a reaction to that picture in words that can be printed here. I'm sad for your loss and just a year past losing my shop from a neighbour's fire, so I can empathize with what you're going through. Best advice after loosing 5 vehicles in a fire, 6 when my son's first car is...

Welcome to the green board of knowledge. That's great having another wet coaster we can visit when you're not stuck in traffic. Stan's in West Van and some fabulous contacts out there .....he'll chime in after shift.....and these kids http://www.westerncommand.com/ are good troops to get to...

I bought all the G749 manuals here..... http://www.portrayalpress.com/ I don't want to leave anyone out so do a search for "G749 manuals for sale" and have a peak what's out there. You can read the TM's here, http://www.jatonkam35s.com/ and do some shopping while you're there...

M207 the rest of the story Can't get over the detail on the windows. Now the ugly stuff on the M207 can begin. Not quite sure how to tackle the 'structural' parts of the van with rot over the bottom box corners and side tie downs. I've checked out a thread where the panels were patched over...

M207 GMC with Shop Van Thanks Trucknut, still don't have a theme for the back because we just haven't dug up a lot of photos. A call to the Shilo curator wouldn't hurt. I need to publicly thank my taper, Jim. Jim is the son of a surviving Canadian WW11 hero and the detail he laid down was top...

That animal sounds too cool not to let everyone listen to it. Thanks for sharing, I found it by searching M211 videos and used 'search tools' to find videos loaded within the last month. Great 56 sec video of an M211 moving out. If we didn't share that video here, we'd be loosing history. Nice...

Off-grid paint When your trucks off the grid........That Wagner Flexio is a great toy. I used the paint straight from the can without thinning. This was more of a 'time budget' decision because it was globbing a little heavy in the beginning, heading for some super orange peal. Thinner paint...

Shop Van Preservation We've been so busy at the G749 farm we haven't had time for updates. The real prize should come tomorrow when the sun comes around but when I left tonight, Gracie had new paint. I wanted to get the shop van sealed up before winter but had many priorities came up so...

Shop Van Interior Pictures Thanks Frank, I did see a couple of 109 vans with the bunk on the left and 2 big'ol wooden shelves on the right. We seem to have a 50's theme going on so one of the MVPA kids suggested visiting the Museum of the Regiments in Calgary and finding a Regimental Historian...

Original Shop Van Interior Where does a guy find original interior pictures of the various 50's-80's shop van interiors? Just trying to get an idea of the various uses and how one could set up an interior that may have been found in the field........and slept in. Besides Patton, who else had...

So you left some of the mechanical to do after you painted it all up. Did the same thing with the M135 and although it seems like we're doing things backwards, it sure is nice twisting on something so clean. Any and all of the detailed pictures of the work you've done is greatly appreciated. My...

The 1010 adventures have slowed to a crawl and she's now sat for over a year with no time for attention. Before I toss an add in the classifieds on Steel Soldiers I'd like some feedback on where the market is going on this type of truck and if I set the value right. I'd negotiate price if I...

Hello BB, If I'm reading you correctly you're wanting a good home for a truck. I'm sure you'll get directed by a director to add a province to your location and to the membership up-grade so you can run an add in the claSSifieds once you pay a tiny fee. I sent you a Private Message PM which...

You're all over that truck man....and under it......and going to the correct school. My Landscaping certificate does not help when I work on my truck other than helping me understand 'green side up'. Tried running some gasket material through the printer but it just kept jamming up so guess...

What insignia would you run on an m135 cmpman? With no military background I don't have a preference on what it should look look like. Would like my semi gloss od m135 and shop van to have a real story though. PPCLI is important to me with my buddies serving with them. Looking for input.

Good question for our military kids. The answer here http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/vehicles/markings/vehiclemarkings.htm says tactical sign but I bet we can learn much more from cmpman.

Welcome to Early Deuce cruise night. Hope you solve it easily. I have 2 hold down bolts on my distributor.. Should be one around the back toward the firewall side. Hard to get at so I could see someone leaving it off. Great bargain price and it's good to SEE another Early Deuce. What color...
