mine is 68014 with a 12/53 build date. Looks like yours has a CJ5 fuel tank too. CJ's have the small mouth tank. Does it have a tailgate?

you won't have any trouble pulling that trailer with the pintle ball hitch set up. As has been said, watch for the height, tongue to height of your tow vehicle. Also you want a good adapter from your tow vehicle to the trailer or some tow lights. You can drop the trailer down about 4 to 6...

Somebody decided they didn't like the windshield on the M886 yesterday while I was out. Two serious rock hits right in front of the driver. it is parked under a carport beside the garage and has been there for years. Talk about disheartening. I usually let vets drive it in parades.

Looks like part of the fording kit to me.

Is that a CCKW? it certainly is worth an attempt to save, but have you looked at that one on CL lately? It needs work too, but is a lot further along. Good luck on this project. If you are looking for parts, let the group know and or get familiar with our friend at the McKenna Y.

Oldsteel, take a look at the upcoming events section in the forums. I try to keep local events posted there. On 12 MAR there is an open house in Chehalis for the PBR group. 19 MAR is the Olympic Flight Museum military show. MV's are welcome, let me know if you want to bring the truck and I...

Do you have a picture of the bilge pump switch? Am working with some PBR guys and they are working on the Bilge pumps. Who knows maybe they are the same and they might have an extra. They are actually putting in a back up pump system, so they can run one off the batteries when they are not...

Are those LMTV or Humvee seats?

you might watch for someone that is scrapping out an M925, get the frame rails and inserts, bolt them in and then you only need to fabricate the winch mounting that you are looking for and run a power leg. It is nice to have a good impact wrench for this project and a couple of friends to share...

Ahab, how did you get the brass stencils to work on rounded surface such as the hood of an M38A1? Of did you only stencil on the flats?

Depends on your time frame, but mid Vietnam they started using vinyl stick on for the numbers and lettering. I have a 53 M38A1, but it has some of the VN upgrades such as vinyl seats and vinyl lettering on the hood. The stars were all painted on.

Their 931 is really a nice one. They did have a little rust issue under the floor mats and an issue under the hood, but we took care of that yesterday. Last month they had a couple of tires that were looking a bit low, they were going to compressor up. So we started the truck, backed it out...

That is Armed Forces Day weekend at JBLM. I think this will be my 28th year there. Also if you need a fun day run, or the team would like to come to Chehalis, 12 MAR for open house for the PBR guys. Bring green and tan vehicles. They have two PBR's plus an M931, with the 5th wheel removed...

Scott, I haven't seen an official posting for the 8th annual yet, have I? Also the 3rd weekend is a Boat festival in Tacoma and some of us may be supporting the PBR guys effort at that event, especially with Vietnam era vehicles.

Good advice Plowboy. I haven't had any problems for awhile, but am in town with a lot of cats in the neighbor hood. Will keep this for future reference.

Not positive, but I think they charged 25 last time. If you have a display, think it is 10. They have to rent tables so they are covering their costs.

Hello Team, this luncheon is to spend time with Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge. They are rapidly passing and if you want to meet some really neat people, this is the place. The luncheon event starts about 1000 with historical displays and military vehicles out side. They eat lunch and...

Hello Team, time for the OFM Military Show and sale. They encourage military vehicles to come, with special parking and free admission for the driver and they are also looking for people to do displays of their collections. Plus you can pick up a treasure for your collection. There are...

Hello Team, If you would like to get up close and personal to a Vietnam combat time PBR, the NW Chapter of the Game Wardens of Vietnam, will be hosting an open house at the Rat's Nest on 12 MARCH 2016, from 1000 to 1400. Address 123 Habein Rd., Chehalis, WA 98532. Bring your green iron and...

It appears that I do have a room now, so need to get on getting a ride. Glad that it is still an important enough event to have that many people turn out. Will be staying in Grainges for the weekend. Hope to get a little Bastogne time in while over there.
