    5th Semi-Annual Texas Military Vehicle Rally

    Allright, its been pretty quiet around here, I was worried I was the only one coming. The museum is open from 0900 to dark, the re-enactment is scheduled for 1400. I'd like to see us depart for the museum in the 0930-1000 range which will give plenty of time to see the static displays and...

    5th Semi-Annual Texas Military Vehicle Rally

    Yep, I go to these things to visit with like-minded enthusiasts. The tractor disappointed me last weekend with a flat and failure to start so I couldn't get my cab swap done on the 715. My M-35 has been a back burner project for years now and although its really rough looking, mechanically its...

    5th Semi-Annual Texas Military Vehicle Rally

    I am pushing this weekend to get the project truck at least to where I can play on the trails at BVORR. Radiator is ordered, cab swap this weekend if I can get the tractor started. Then just have to mount a few tires, rig up a fuel tank, fix the exhaust leaks, fix all the stuff that broke or...

    5th Semi-Annual Texas Military Vehicle Rally

    I'm in! I doubt I'll have my truck servicable to take to the museum or even to BVORR but I'll certainly come camp and join the fun.

    4th Semi-Annual Texas MV Rally

    Sorry to hear about the cancellation but I certainly understand. Next weekend was starting to not look so good for me either. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone and playing with the trucks though, count me in for March and I'll have my V-8 715 in the game then hopefully.

    4th Semi-Annual Texas MV Rally

    Hey everyone! I was just thinking about this but hadn't had a chance to check SS. I've been working on my truck in progress and will hopefully have the V-8 715 out for this one. I was worried becuase I have an event at work that is all consuming the previous week through the previous weekend...

    Second Bi-Annual TX MV Rally

    I can pick up locally, Barrman's and Allen's too if it helps him to get them halfway.

    3rd Semi-Annual TX MV Rally

    The drawings and layout look great! My only suggestion is to spell out Texas and "Military Vehicle" so that anyone seeing the shirt will immediately know what its about.

    3rd Semi-Annual TX MV Rally

    I'm planning on coming. I'll bring a road-worthy MV this time, hopefully my upgraded M-715 (currently under constructions) or my deuce (rough but doable). I had a great time last weekend, I've been to the museum event nearly every year for the last several years, nice swap meet and lots of...

    Second Bi-Annual TX MV Rally

    I had a good time on the trails, I'm always amazed at how well a 43 year old truck can perform. Even though there was a hill I couldn't climb I had a blast. The old truck wouldn't start Sunday morning, it turned out to be just a stuck float valve, the truck is running better now than in some...

    Second Bi-Annual TX MV Rally

    Well I'm really starting to look forward to this event. I'm also really starting to panic about what truck to try to slap together in two weeks to bring. I have a 715 that's an easy fix and an M-35 that will take some doing but might be the better choice. Whatever I bring will likely be pretty...

    The combined fleet (attn. Kwai)

    Nice tanker kwai! When I was in New Orleans for Katrina, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's department had one of those that the National Guard had dropped off at their command post. They let us come by and get free fuel for our rescue operations. It was a lifesaver until real logistics got...

    Sarge rides again!

    Or as our fellow Texan Ray Wylie Hubbard said: "And when I walk through the valley in the shadow of death, I take along Samuel Colt". I've done the crossing the desert on a motorcycle in August thing and I would say keep each leg of your trip pretty short so you feel like seeing stuff when you...

    715 in Canada?

    Al/Qc/ca that is a great looking truck! I really like the radios and the marston mat storage on the troop seats and the jerry cans under the troop seats. The sandbags are a nice touch too. Can we see a detail shot of the spare tire mount? I see a plan coming together...

    Helped a woman in distress

    I've stopped to help before for the same reason. I always say if they offer to pay: "I've got a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a mother, and I hope if they ever are stuck on the side of the road and need help that a decent, honorable, person like me will stop and help them. The only way that...
