I can only make Friday and Saturday this year. I'll be in row M. I have some large parts in the classifieds. If you are interested in any of those items, contact me about delivery. I will likely not bring those parts without deposit & commitment.

I have some miscellaneous other parts I can/will bring (I'll add to the list as I dig things out):

New M939 hydraulic winch control valve - $150
New M939 Fuel tank strainer - $35
S-250 shelter lifting and tie-down sling setup - $150

Miscellaneous lights and small parts for 5-ton trucks - I need to figure out what I still have in the garage.

50th Rally Update Looking forward to next weeks East Coast Military Vehicle Rally at Hagerstown Aviation Museum. Big kudos to Anja, she sent a message that it was about sold out with a few spaces left. Dick and Diane Deren making a special trip up from Florida . I first met Dick and Doc Mortimer circa 1988 at then Ordnance Museum when I was working at the Test and Evaluation Command. I had restored an M38 back to a motorpool ready condition thanks to some helpful friends at Aberdeen Test Center. Thought I had invented a new hobby, then Dick gives me a stack of Army Motors and Supplyline and realized how naïve I had been, internet had just started gaining momentum so I was way behind. Anyway a bit early for Thrown Back Thursday (TBT) but here are some past photos. I was the youngest club member when I joined...now at 65 think I am still the youngest, bringing the 1943 Command Car and a load of militaria crapola. Looking forward to seeing everyone

Got a day off of work on Friday, guess that was the best day since Saturday was rain. Always a good show, good to see a few good friends I haven't seen in a while! Brought the little one along for the ride (not so little anymore, she's 22 now, man time does fly).

Took a few pics of the attending vehicles, quite a few jeeps there this year! If anyone can ID the truck in the last picture of this post, please let me know, not familiar with it.

Another batch of pics for your viewing displeasure....
