Talked with the Museum Director today about our participation. They will reserve the front parking lot for us. There are two handicap parking stalls that we may need to leave open. If you bring a vehicle for display, there will be no entry charge for the show. They would be open if someone...

As a refresh on this post, top speed, the M54 seems to be running well and idling, but my fuel economy is right around 3 MPG. I am not a hotrodder with this rig and drive conservatively.. It does seem to smoke quite a bit. Question is it possible that the Injector Pump is timed a bit off and...

Did you have ear protection for those folks.? :-D

On page 1-2 of the North Carolina CDL manual, it says under exemptions that you do not need a CDL for recreational vehicles, you could also argue that it says military vehicles, although I would think they were thinking active duty MV's. So are you using this for commercial purposes?

Aaron count me in as a serious maybe depending on the Airshow. Will try to match your date schedule. That was very cool to be in the parade with that many large trucks. I have not heard from McChord yet, but will start trying to make connections to see if they want a display. Don't want to...

As an alternate method for the LMTV tops. I have the 14 foot dropside bed and have a new camo top. I thought about using the LMTV frame, but went with jacking up the top bows eight inches. It seemed to work out just right. The top is a little saggy, but will let it set and play with...

I think if there were any mice left, he got em. He was definitely ready to get out in the morning. Have not had a probelm since, but I live in town and we have a pretty busy cat population.

The probable schedule would be set up about 0800 if you are selling or displaying inside. There parking lot is small so we would have to be flexible to let the people get there vehicles in and unloaded then we could get final position in the parking lot. The event probably runs about 0900 to...

That would be fine, this is open to all MV's.

I will probably drag the M54 along. I will do an inside display for them as well.

March 31 OFM will be hosting a Miltaria Show as a fund raiser for the Museum. If we would like to turn their front parking lot into a NW Rally point, they would go for that, but they ask that we have enough vehicles to fill it. Please chime in and let me know what you think. More information...

So what do you do for the smell once they have been there? My M54 came with a mouse problem from the auction. It ended up having the heating ducts about half full of nests and stuff. Did remove all the old ducts and replaced cleaned and painted all metal parts. Have soaked the cab down with...

Scott, it is a beautiful place to go, but if there was going to be snow, I don't think that is where I want to be with a bunch of large trucks. Lots of narrow road and steep hillsides. We had to build almost a mile of road to get out one year when it snowed a foot on us. There was almost a...

I have a 1977 M886. We had to do the ammeter bypass. Watch the throught the firewall connections. Was having fuel issues, new carb, fuel pump and replaced every line. There are a couple extras on the ambulance and that seemed to work. There is an electical short somewhere that I can't...

I knew I forgot something, the beard and the hat. Here is the M54 at Saturday's light parade. The little truck in the background is a local Guard unit Hemett ammunition hauler.

The event went well and organizers told me that they had 44 entries. There were 3 MV's. A WW2 jeep with trailer, M54, and the NG brought along one of the Hemett ammunition haulers. The weather was good, cold and dry. And there were a surprising amount of folks that turned out . The only...

Well, while you guys were out playing with the heavy metal, I was off amusing myself with vintage tin. Here are a couple of pics of our run into the Olympics yesterday. It was so nice, didn't even have to put the top on the jeep. 1st Sgt. Gifford was practicing with his CCKW to do the Alcan...

You guys have fun. Last run with the M54, 3 MPG. But that was better than the HEMMET variation I spent time with in the parade this evening. that isn't the reason I am not going, too many pre Christmas wife projects. Got in two green runs today, so used up my limit for the weekend. :( I...

it would work for me. I just got some lights and holly on the 5T. I called the guy and he said something about registration, which is free. I am not registered, but am pretty sure they won't turn anyone away. You were talking Search and Rescue?

It is in Centralia, off exit 82 on I-5. Parade starts at 1800. Lineup probably about 1700, and it looks like the local NG unit will have 2 to 3 vehicles, in addition to the M54
