Do you still have the broken speed out in there? If so it will be a bugger. If it is out, Sometimes you can have some luck drilling all the way through with a small bit and then running a tap through that hole, mostly to weaken the sides of the stuck bolt. You should then be able to get it...

Well it looks like it is an uncut body. Can't say that about mine.

There shouldn't be any conflicting info. Parade starts at 1600. It is still all the same timeline as the opening post. The only variability is when we actually go over for lineup. We will try to lineup by age of vehicle. So far it looks like five 5 tonners. and then some small vehicles...

How about a different classification and perhaps this gets away from the original hypothesis, but, Original, Restored, and Reproduction. There may be carry over in all those categories. My 42 GPW has a few repairs to the body and whatever parts it takes to keep it running. It is a restored...

Will see you Saturday morning. The M38A1 started acting up on the way home from the airport Sunday and it does not want to run smoothly, so am working out those issues. Hopefully it will be under control by Saturday. The ambulance, 923, M715, and M54 are all doing fine and should be on track...

Yes we are doing Borst Park. Please take a look at the upcoming events for particulars. 0800 at the Park for breakfast, then display, then lunch, and then parade. P

923 is from the 224 Eng. OR ARNG. There is another 923 here in town that is 4 numbers off mine. Recently spotted a 923A2 off Bishop Rd. in Chehalis. It is desert tan too. Have not seen anyone around it to stop and talk with.

The Ocean Shores event went well and they fed us hotdogs. We had 4 vehicles, M923, M923A1, 43 GPW, and 53 M38A1C. Found out that my 923 went to Iraq in 2003 and maybe 2007. Met a SFC from the unit and he clued me in on some of the history. Also got to see what a happens when a deer and 923...

Depending on which plates he got, that is not a yearly fee. It is probably the initial license with title transfer, plate, possibly sales tax, and a Gross Vehicle Weight fee. Once you can get collector plates, there are no more fees.

Talked with the lady that is organizing the event today. The address for the pool is about 521 N. Pearl St. Centralia WA 98531. I would like to have us positioned and in place by about 1000. We will most likely be on the asphalt between the pool fence and the back of the sidewalk. Hopefully...

Moderator, please take that file off. It loaded okay on my computer as a Word Doc, but for some reason it did not transfer right for me. Sorry.

Hello Team, got a request in for this one today. If anyone is able to attend, their service is at 1100 and parade at 1300. Lunch will be provided for parade participants. The town is not big and neither is the parade, but they have heart there. The 1st Sgt and I did it a couple years ago and...

Hello Team, we have been asked to provide some color for a fundraiser for the old outdoor pool in Centralia, WA on 20 June from 1200 to 1500. I think we should be getting in place about 1000. It is at 500 N. Pearl in Centralia, 98531. This pool was built in 1950 as a War Memorial to WW2 and is...

No special theme and this is an open event, but it is the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2, so we hope to give that emphasis. Please let me know if you are attending for food planning purposes. We have been the signature chauffeurs for the Rosie the Riveters the last few years and I expect a...

I have used the Gillespie paint to do some touch up on the tan Cargo cover. Misted it in with a few coats to cover up some rust spots that would not come out. While working in an upholstery shop in my youth, we used a paint that was specifically formulated for painting and changing the color...

Sed6, I got the same results with a polish from the autoparts store, used to remove scuffs from ones paint job. It took a few minutes per lens, using the polish and a soft cotton rag. Mine were so bad I didn't figure that I could hurt them and I have had a couple of questions from people on...

Added color for two Memorial services this weekend. Saturday at Ocean Shores, WA and today at Mountain View Cemetery in Lakewood, outside JBLM. Also found out this weekend that my truck, the tan one, did desert duty in Iraq in 2003. Met a SFC from the unit and he clued me in on some of the...

Tomorrow some of us are headed to Ocean Shores to help out with a VFW Memorial Day service. Any one want to tag along. So far we have 4 vehicles. We will be meeting at the Rusty Tractor in Elma, WA at 0800 for breakfast, maybe a little sooner if we drive fast, and then head down. The...

Mission accomplished. Situation normal at the gate, but everyone somehow made it in. There are a few pictures posted on the MV spotted thread. Thanks to those that were able to turn out. We had a really nice WW2 display in honor of the 70th anniversary.

Here are some preliminaries for tomorrow. Hope you like the pics. This is at JBLM.
