    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    We have A/C in the cabins as well as in the motel units and in the main lodge (resturant/office/meeting rooms). I actually can't make a reservation at any of the Lodge facilities until March 20th, and to be honest, it would be easier and better if you did it yourself... Especially since the...

    Looking for picture of temperature sender location

    You can get correct oil pressure sending units from Star Electric, Midwest Military, ACE Surplus (Sid Beck), Saturn Surplus, and ABLinn. I know that several of the dealers out there have the early ones set up for the metal wiring harness connectors, some only have the rubber ones, but you can...

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    Not only will we be posting (either as part of this thread or in some new ones) more info as we get things settled, but I will set up a webpage with consolidated info (for ease in printing out for reference). I'll be meeting with the folks in a couple of weeks and hope to get Mike over while...

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    The farm/lodge has plenty to do both on site and nearby for folks that need a break from MV's... So, from a familly standpoint, it is a great place to have a familly vacation even if the rest of the gang isn't as into the MV's, then again, the rally itself (and all of them that I have been to...

    M35A2 Tires

    I just picked up a bunch of Michelin 1100r20 XL's from Berg in Fayetteville, NC. You have to check often with them as they do not stay in inventory long... :) They also get in Goodyear G177 fairly often, they don't stay in the warehouse long either. I looked at a M109 that came out of GA...

    Brush truck water capacity?

    I need to update my page on the tanker that I put together for use on the farm, but you can see what it looks like at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/m35pages/m35photos5.htm Bassically, its a M35A2 with a 1025 gallon polly tank with a Pacer 2.5" pump for drafting water out of the river that...

    Vin location

    Yep, I have heard of trucks with the VIN on the passenger side before. Conversations on the BigElectric/G741 site never seemed conclusive as to why, but were pretty conclusive that it was a small number compared to the overall production run (for all varients). Is your truck a stock M37 or...

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    I've got a lot of picks of the place that I will have to sort through to find some that show the camping area, and facilities. I know that I don't have any decent ones of the trails though (I never can manage to take a decent photo while driving, forget the camera, or something). I will post...

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    Honestly, we are going to have to charge "something"... It's one of those things that I will have to figure out with Mike and the folks... I can say that it will not be much, and that we are planning on having food, shirts, etc. Part of it will all come down to how much we want to do as a...

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    There are some great two lane roads in the area that are perfect for riding a bike upon... and you can always ride in somebody else's MV when you arrive... :) Then again, you might be able to convoy up with somebody and thus could bring both the deuce and the bike. :grin:

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    As Mike says, we are talking about the same event. We'll be getting together to go over the trails, organize things etc. but we wanted to make sure that everyone knew the location and the date early. Send in your suggestions as you think of them to either one of us (or both), or post them here...

    Virginia Steel Soldiers Rally 2009

    I am hosting a rally at my godparents' farm in Syria, Va on Labor Day weekend. We've got about 2000 acres to play with, a bunch of roads on the property and on the neighbor's land that we can run on, several trails in the area (including a few cut by the CCC in the thirties when they were...

    Vin location

    Left frame (driver's side) in front of the steering box on the outside of the frame. You will likely have to wire brush the area a bit, numbers are about an inch tall, widely spaced, and not stamped very deep. Good luck.

    inner lug nut removal

    I'm a big fan of my 1" wrench for when I'm at the shop and my 6' "cheater bar" for when I'm on the road... I don't have one of the geared wreches, but a buddy does and I never could figure out how it worked until I saw the PS Magazine page on it that is located on the old site at...

    M38 canvas help needed

    If my memory serves me correctly, Dave at WeeBee Webbing has a dimensioned drawing of the rod and retainer clips on his website. I had to fabricate a setup for one of my M38's...
