Papa Bear playing the trumpet and dancing for all the participants & voters of June's M/V of the Month.

Congrats to Bill Nutting and his beautiful M151 for capturing 1st place in the June M/V of the Month. Well Done!!

Thanks Chris. I hope to have the 11.00X20 tires on the trailer a week from this Monday, then some body work and paint, along with some interior work, and I hope it will be worthy of at least an Honorable Mention.

I know, I know. Sometimes I'll get a jingle going in my head, and I just can't shake it.

OOOOH, I almost forgot Rat Patrol!

Guyfang, let me help, turn up the audio.

For me, Combat was number 1, and McHale's Navy was number 2. You can find episodes for both series on YouTube.

Lots of great entrants this month, what a difficult decision this was.

Guyfang, I don't think I ever missed an episode of Combat.

Don't forget the 1928A1 Thompson, with Cutts Compensator, Finned Barrel, and Lyman rear sight. Just like the one Sgt. Chip Saunders carried, a Hero of my youth.

Chris, it was down to the Harley 45 and the M151. I've never had an M151, and Bill has one of the nicest ones I recall seeing. But I went with my heart and tossed the 45 my vote. 🍺 Cheers!

Elijah, have you tried heating the area around the studs with a Propane torch? Then give them the double nut method. 2cents

NDT, no I do not, that is probably what's causing my problem. I'm not a jeep guy, but I'm quickly becoming familiar on all the ins and outs. I'll get on the phone and order one tomorrow. I understand Peter De Bella is a good source for jeep parts. Thank You!!

Guy thanks for the info, it all makes a little more sense. Here's a couple pics of 2 exterior areas that have been sealed. I'll take a look at the interior tomorrow.

I purchased a 1953 M38A1 awhile back. It had a Carter YF carburetor when I purchased it, the YF is standard on commercial jeep F head engines. My YF leaked a little, and ran a little rough. So I found a Carter YS 950 at one of the California meets, and had it rebuilt by a competent carb shop. So...

Good job Mike. A step at a time.

Chris, I love Harley-Davidson flat heads. In the mid 90s I put quite a few miles on a friend of mines immaculate 1947 UL 80ci flattie. The bike ended up being exported to Japan. The Japanese made a 74ci Harley VL flathead under license called the Rikuo. They were copied bolt for bolt, and built...

Robo I agree. dmetalmiki, can you post some pics of your M62 Wrecker Truck. We would like to see some pics since the restoration. Many of us haven't voted.

Mike, read the above posts on the challenges of swapping larger engines into these early trucks.

Well here we are, once you get past the curtains and partition you have a room with a false floor and what looks like a small table, I don't know what exactly this shelter was being used for, but they didn't leave much behind, the rest of the interior is std. S-250 shelter. This one is cleaner...
