Thanks to Scott, Stewart, and Zy for the treats yesterday. Thanks to Brad for being able to look as someone else's cool toys and not having to bring them home. am looking forward to the next away mission.

anyone need any 1 inch stencils tomorrow. Let me know now as I am not putting that heavy bugger in the back of the truck.

I too have had problems with the cans, but it was one color. The paint was good when it came out. I have shaken, tipped over and sprayed till the tip was clean, cleaned tips in thinner, and for heating, put them in a pan of hot water on the stove for a bit.. But have also given up on a few...

Aaron, the truck started, so will get up early and put the accesories on and 0830 at exit 82, with a rolling start. Will probabley have to leave Brads about 1200 to 1300 to satisfy the war department. She is having a get together at the house tomorrow afternoon. Any food items that should be...

Go into your favorite parts store and tell them you want the best they have. There isn't much price difference between their premium and standard greases. With this green stuff, it is worth it to pay a few cents more up front and save a lot of dollars on the backside. Just because the...

It went good today. Got two vehicles and about 6 guys doing the historical thing. The event coordinator told me that this was the biggest one that they had done yet. Will add a couple of pics. Happy 20th anniversary to all the Desert Storm Vets.

Here is another one. 1968 M54A2C The picture with the cargo cover was at Ft. Lewis for AFD this year. And the other pictures were at an antique truck show last Fall. I thought you might find the comparison between the 68 5T and the 43 CCKW interesting. This truck was attached to the 80 OD...

Military Family Day at Cabella's off Exit 111, Lacey WA. September 10, 2011. Time 0930 - 1400. They have very limited space in the interior display that is already allocated, but if rigs get there early, a part of the exterior parking area could be taken over. That is what we did last year...

McChord is usally a great airshow for the people and not so great for those of us doing military displays or bringing vehicles. Their biggest problem is that they change people every couple of years and do not keep continuity like Ft. Lewis does, by using MWR. I have displayed at every...

There is just about no better tribute to an individual or a unit than displaying their numbers on a retired MV. My 42 is numbered to the 295 CE, which was an uncle's unit. He was also a POW, and it has the nickname of another uncle. The 53 M38A1 was numbered to the local NG unit and their...

Looks like I will ditch out on you guys for this one. There is a carshow in Centralia, about 3 blocks from my house on Saturday. So will probably take a small jeep to that one along with a couple of other guys. There is also the Steam Threshing Bee next to Toledo Airport and MV's are welcome...

Saturday August 27 from 2 to 8 PM, Jorgenson Air will be hosting a Drive in, Fly in, and Ride In at the Olympia airport. This is a fund raiser for the Olympic Flight Museum. Admission is free for people bringing vehicles for the display. You can bring in a guest as well. Food will be...

Thank you Cattlerepairman for finding that thread for me. Will look forward to giving that a shot. I have had at least one of the wiper motors apart and put new seals in before, but had the same issue of it going to the right and not releasing back. this gives a few other options to look at ...

So what do you do when the button is out and they still don't go? If there is anyway to salvage said plastic wiper motor, would appreciate the advice.

Nice looking truck. Guess location is everything.

The OFM event on the 27th looks to be fun. Guess I better get it on a thread. They are looking for all types of vehicles and military is definitly invited. There is the steam threshing bee in Toledo that day as well. It is usually fun as they have a swap meet along with it that is good for...

Here is the second installment. Special thanks to Aaron and Amber for taking the time to organize and put this event on. I counted about 25 vehicles in and around the event and I think there was about 23 or so in the parade. It was an impressive sight with all those 2 1/2 and 5 tonners. Hope...

Sorry for the delay, but here are a few pics from Saturday.

Aaron, was that your 109 just north of the Onalaska Hwy. on the Jackson Hwy. today?

If you are looking for non recycled diesel, Exit 72 has a truck stop, with about as reasonable a price as you will find and the fuel is fresh. So maybe fuel when you pull off to go up to Aaron's.
