If there is something you need, if you take a picture, maybe I could post a picture of mine to help out. It might lead you on the right wire direction.

That is a lot of miles on a military truck. If someone is going out swamping and mud bogging it every weekend, they should do more frequent maintenance, but it seems that there might be a point of diminishing returns. My 5T probably gets 3 thousand a year and is babied. So don't think it...

Mission accomplished. For me the best part was listening to stories of the guys that met up and covered some of the same water or land 50 years ago. This was a wonderful event sponsored by the Ft. Lewis Military Museum. Great tribute to the Veterans of the Vietnam war.

Is that a 77 truck? If so someone will be very happy to have that 76 grill. It looks very straight. Good thing about the M880's is that you can go to your local parts store and still get most of the parts you need.

The shop guy at our local Cummins dealer told me they recommend changing every 100,000 or so on the air filters.

That is a really a pretty straight looking M886. Nice idea on the step. Mine still has all the stuff back there so that is not an option. You might look at cutting the ends off the hitch you have and welding it inside the frame rails. That gets it up and out of the way. And you will still...

Joint Base Lewis McChord will be hosting a Vietnam Appreciation Day on 11 AUG 2018 at the old Ft. Lewis Museum. Event will go from 1000 - 1600. Vietnam Veterans, families and people with an interest in military history are encouraged to attend. The Museum has invited outside the gate military...

Have often thought that should be the law on property tax in this state as well. Most of us probably don't go out to find another vehicle at the highest possible price we can pay. We are looking for what we perceive to be a deal and if we find it, we buy it.

Good job. Most of the time, being nice goes a long way.

Just did a search for M211's for sale. There are several out there. You didn't say what you paid, but I saw trucks from 800 to 1500 in a very quick search. I would think you could print a few of those out to show to them to establish a price point.

Tool box corrosion repair Did a little clean up on the lower tool box on the 84 M923. There was some corrosion going on that needed some attention. Took the needle gun to it, cleaned it, and gave it a couple doses of POR 15. Then 3 coats of paint. Then cut some plastic matting to lay in the...

Thank you to all that were able to attend. We had 16 vehicles in the parade this year including the PBR and its tow truck. Probably 35 or 40 people at the house for lunch. We received the best historic entry in the parade. They were desperate for candidates. We lined the vehicles up by age...

One of the threads on the site. Sorry I don't remember which has a guidance letter dated 2/9/88 from the NHTSA on the issue of military trucks being road worthy. Look for it, it is worth the search. I am having a go around in WA on this same issue with a 1991 M923A2. The state patrol...

Anyone else tagging in for this event?

Parade registration is in for Saturday morning. Hope to see you all there.

Mac, bring something that you like. We have the usual stuff so need filler. Have a couple fruit trays and a veggie tray coming. See you then.

Centralia WA, parade at 1600. Display in the park starting at 0900. See the events for more detail. This should be around 20-22 years at this event for us.

They would probably be fine with that. I got a slip this time as I didn't want to take any chances. my truck weights 21,500 and they told me they would have to register it at 34,000. Not sure why I couldn't have gone at 24,000. A lot of it is up to the interpretation of the person that is...

They do require a scale weight. At least with a GP Bill of sale and SF97 you shouldn't have any problem, unless is says for off road use only. if it says that, find a different way. If it is a clean SF 97 you should walk in pay your money and walk out with a license. My problem is on an...

Time to start gearing up for summerfest. This is an open event. Original or restored military vehicles are welcome. Event takes place at Borst Park. Exit 82 off I-5 on the west side of the freeway. 0800 breakfast in the park, 0900 - 1230 on display for the event. Vehicles and displays of...
