1. Repainted her numbers back on the bumpers and added my name.
2. Installed 2 fire extinguishers in the cab.
3. Added a mechanical oil pressure gauge to double check the electric one...
I am planning on attending this event with my 1984 M923. Have not been before. Is anyone else going? The show is in North Kingstown, RI and you can find info on facebook about the show.

Welcome from just south of you on Cape Cod. Contact "Vintage Iron" on Facebook as he may have one for sale or at the least has parts for any military vehicle you get. He can do any work or repairs you may need. Good luck on your search.
