WWII MV Convoy
We have ten videos of the various groups heading out from Dawson Creek and will make them available real soon.
Here's a video of 70 year old trucks heading up the road on a convoy that may look similar to those convoys, 70 years ago.
2012 Convoy Videos
Here are two videos of a few MV's returning to the campground after the Aug 3rd opening ceremonies. A flag-person was posted so the Steel Soldiers could easily clear the 2 lane highway.
The campground was located next to a very historic site and the information is...
Dawson Creek to Edmonton
The 1986 M1010 and the 6.2 ran flawlessly for the entire 800 mile run. Highest temps peaked 212 F on a long hill but typically ran at 200 F.
Fuel mileage averaged 16mpg on the one day, 400 mile return trip from Dawson Creek to Edmonton. We ran at 50 mph for most of...
Whitecourt to Dawson Creek
With the ALCAN starting point only 255 miles away, the 1010 decided she wanted to go all the way and had the opportunity to convoy with a Bedford and a 5 ton to Dawson Creek.
We stopped for food in Grande Prairie and found a typical photo op' taking the MV out to...
Whitecourt Airshow

Whitecourt Airshow

Whitecourt Airshow
Once we rolled on to the ramp the Canadians led the parade in front of the audience and the 1010 led the American group and the white Marmon to await both Anthems.
Whitecourt Airshow
After one break at a Rest Stop South of Valleyview, we met one of the organizers riding a Command Car and followed him to a marshaling area. The team mounted flags, guns and patiently waited for the word to fire up and roll.
It was a long wait, with several false starts, an...
Whitecourt Airshow
The 1010 had a 800 mile adventure last weekend playing nose gunner for a collector convoy to Whitecourt for a Hometown Heroes Air Show.
Hometown Heroes –
While prepping for her typical 'tail gunner' role, being the fastest MV in the fleet, I went to A Sign Promotions 5 days...
M1010 lifted
My 1010 was purchased already sitting on a 4" lift from Warn.
I am told the original 'front' springs were removed and replaced with new 4" lift front springs. The rear springs remained and spacers added to get the height. I was told by the previous owner that he paid about...
