Hope I can make it, but don't want to hold anyone up. The A1 has a top speed of about 50 and the 715 about 45 MPH. Both are originals, meaning, not restored. Touched up, yes, restored, no.

Aaron, if you go let me know and I might be able to tag along for this one. The M54 is still down, but coming along. May have to take a little buddy for this ride. M38A1 or M 715.

I dutifully bought the 1 3/4 inch wheel cylinders for the front of my M54 and upon teardown and inspection, I thought the ones on the truck are bigger. After checking with one of the large parts dealers in the Midwest, they told me that they put 2's on their trucks when doing a rebuild...

First, beautiful truck. Second, how about a lift and tires on something that isn't so nice. I have wondered for a few years why MVPA doesn't add an Original class. Not restored, not motor pooled, but original vehicles. It would be good to preserve a few of them for the future. I had an...

Any of the big truck supply shops can fix you up with this setup. It will probably be a bit more pricey than what was stated above. I got lucky and was able to pick up a Gov. surplus one, but had to replace the rubber seal.

Thanks you guys for the pics in 56, 57, and 60 and thank you for supporting this event. They had a great turnout and were very pleased with our participation. Amer-team

Depending on what you want to do with it. you have an alternative of finding one of the older Wagoneers with this engine and swaping the generator, distributor, and starter and going to 12V. But since it appears that you only need a starter, that might be your quickest get it back on the road...

Back to post 17. I did crank it up stationary and it will go to about 2600, but about 2100 it seems to start to run a bit rough and at 25 to 2600 it is definitely running rough. Just measured the tank and it looks like there is just about 30 gallons on board. Looks like the next mission is to...

Sorry, you had a good picture. I thought if they weren't familiar with the area, they may know where Olympia is. I have driven exit 82 to 132 most days for years and I couldn't tell you that was 93rd St. To me it is the truck stop exit south of Tumwater.

For Reo54 and Choll, it didn't look like anyone directly answered your question about Exit 99. It is about 4 to 5 miles south of Olympia on I-5. Highway 16 is about exit 132. Exit numbers correspond to the miles from the Oregon border on I-5. So when you guys get on the freeway in Tacoma...

Well now you are making me nervous. After I got the filters changed, did start it up to make sure that it was primed and running and I did hit it a bit and it went to 2600 or so. So took it for a drive, thinking problem solved, but still running at 2200 to 2300. It will get to about 46 to 47...

Thank you for the tip on the additive. I went to the local big truck parts shop and bought what they recommended. So don't even remember the name, but I put in two batches as it said it was to treat 50 gals. and I was over that. Did put some Marvels mystery oil fuel additive in one can of the...

First off, what is "power service"? I have put several hazardous chemicals in the tank already, like things to get the water out and kill any algae growing in the tank. It had a full 78 gallons when I got it and the mechanic told me it was old fuel. The city had it for 8 years and it didn't...

Time for an update. Did finally get the fuel filters changed. Took the advice off one of the other threads about the Baldwin filters. It said to purchase another gasket and gave the number, which I did. The cans leaked like heck. Ended up pulling off the cans again and putting the old...

If you were thinking about going, go! This is a top event with enough different iron to to satisfy most anyones interest. There is a great selecetion from WW2 through M series. You don't get to see a T34 or German 88, or the great lineup of Marine Corp marked vehicles everyday. Bill, Jeff...

Aaron, stopped by your place Saturday after the Winlock parade. Sorry I missed you. Was driving the M54. Am still going to try to make your event, but may have to do the McChord Airshow, the situation is still in doubt. Also need to get the fuel filters changed on the 54. Have new ones...

Al, if you are up this way, stop by. Best to drop a note to make sure I am there, but you are welcome anytime. Hope to have the M54 going for this mission. Am down to fuel and oil and filter changes. Have the filters, just have not had the time. Want to make sure I do the fuel right so I...

Yup!

Couple of items here. For you guys coming down from the north and meeting in Tacoma. You could meet at the Tacoma Mall parking lot, but you could also pull off on the southbound 38th Street exit, there is a very wide shoulder there that you could form up on and not have to go all the way into...

Will be doing a military display for the Old Soldiers home at Retsil Washington. On deck at 1000. This is to take the display to them, as most of them don't get out much anymore. Unfortunately it is bit far for the big truck and have the jeep torn down, so it is still down for a week or two.
