If anyone is going to the show this coming weekend, I am looking for a spare rim to fit a M1009 CUCV, mine did not come with a spare. I understand they are different than the ones for the M1008 variety. Doesn't need to have the tire, since I will be updating my tires anyways, I only need a rim.

I don't know about you, but I'm really diggin' that M35A2 that Aussie Bloke has. I think the whole "let's put giant tires on it and make everything shiny" thing has been well overdone in recent years. Something can be said about just a nice, original configuration truck in a decent standard...

There's also Coleman's Surplus in Millersburg, PA. He has some MVs in the back, check with Shawn in the main office before you go poking around, some of the trucks he sells complete, others are hulks that have been there for a while and he won't mind selling parts off them.

Best luck to you! Would love to see some pictures of Soviet-era military vehicles in the hands of collectors and offroaders now....perhaps there is a MV club in Russia like the MVPA in the US?

Yeah, I was at every one from the start, Fall 2007 thru Fall 2015. The last few years of which I was thumbing a ride since I didn't have an MV of my own. I really missed owning my old deuces to offroad in! Looking forward to RC again....

I looked though the past threads and didn't see anyone posted up about this show. Who's going this time around? Coming up next weekend, I'm already starting to get my gear ready to pack. Here's more details, here: RED BALL EVENTS

I might be into a RC trip this time around. Been about 6 years since I was last there. And now that I have my 1009, it's looking to flex its springs a bit on the trails.

I found a few pics of Andrew when he was at Aberdeen MD show in May 2018, doing a BBQ dinner for a few friends. Also a pic, some years before, of his tractor/trailer setup that he was well known by, driving to the Aberdeen shows. He was always parked down by the bottom end of the show parking...

I moved my '84 M1009 home today, drove onto the rollback, and drove off. Strong engine and no rust! Dash has no cracks and the only problems are the rear window is non-functional, a few small mechanical issues I can easily tackle, and perhaps a new set of shoes since the tires are decades old...

More pics....

Had a great time, as usual, at Graves this year with the little one and the fur baby. Weather was beautiful on Saturday. Cabell's BBQ was on-point as always! Trail ride was fun, never been on that trail before, pretty hairy! Anyways, took a few pictures of the day and the vehicles there...

It is with a heavy heart that I must report of the passing of one of our members, Andrew T. Lukaesko, also known as Scrounger on this forum. He has been a long-time collector of MV stuff for decades, active in the hobby and a frequent show-goer to Aberdeen MV shows as well as other local events...

Well, looks like due to circumstances outside of my direct control, I will NOT have my new CUCV there at the Graves rally this time around, but my daughter and I will still be there, thumbs out waiting for a couple spare seats for the trail rides again. I really wanted to be under my own power...

Mailed mine out early this week, myself and the tax-write-off in attendance. :)

Went back to Fair Radio on Monday - beautiful summer day in Ohio, passed hundreds of miles of corn fields on the way there. Great day for picking around in the back room. Saved a handful of things there, a few metal cases/project boxes, a AT-784 loop antenna set, a box load of MX-2799 antenna...

I went to every one of them from fall 1996 through spring 2003, haven't been back since (not that I didn't want to, just life got in the way). My schedule this fall is so busy with work-related things and other shows I know for a fact I can't make it. Sad to hear it will be the last one, but...

Same, only an hour away for me. Looking forward to it!

Are those road grader tires? I didn't know anyone made road-legal tires in 14.00x24 anymore. I know for a fact noone makes NDTs or NDCCs in that size...

Got it on the calendar, Cabell. Planning to come this time around, will be submitting my forms and payment in the next few weeks. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for those catalog pics, papakb! I have one of the older catalogs as well, I think from the early 1970s, flipping through it makes me drool what with all the WWII gear in it, most of which was in nice used shape or even new in box! Not much of that stuff left anywhere, and certainly not...
