Welcome from a GHS class of '82 alumni.

Two of the ones I had went to a charity that does disaster response. The 3rd one (actually my 1st) went to one of our MVPA club members in Austin.

I can vouch for that. Sitting in line for a parade to start and one of my brake canisters blew. Took me about 1/2 hour to get out of line and to the side of the road (less than 100 yards) waiting for the air tanks to fill enough to disengage the brakes, air all dumps, wait to fill again, move...

Glad to hear someone is getting use out of them other than myself (also glad to hear Joe is still alive and kicking :) )

That's why I knew it had been replaced.

Pulled the particle board flooring out of the trailer. The floor had already been replaced once. What I thought was a rust hole in the floor appears to be torch cut. Whether they were cutting rust out or not guess we'll never know.

Beautiful truck! I agree with glgaines. Radios are a nice touch if you do any car shows with it.

I could use some additional parts and I know someone else in need as well. If he wants to sell (and it's worth driving to CA and back) I'd certainly be interested.

I had to look up "differential valve" as I had only ever heard them called "proportioning valves." I guess you can learn something new every day. I do not believe there is one although I haven't put my hands on every inch of the line yet.

Yeah I’m thinking I might be able to make it a decent 20 yarder (pretty from a distance) without piling a bunch of money into it. The Champ is kind of like that and probably what I’d pull it with. Worse case scenario is I sell it to some Jeepster for an overlanding trailer.

Well it turns out it was both better and worse than I thought. The better part is they just cut off the ring of the lunette so I should be able to unbolt it and bolt a replacement with no problem. The worse...the hole turned out to be about a 16" diameter rust hole in the front of the floor...

Hoping it'll show up either today or tomorrow and then I'll be able to determine if it's a drain plug hole or a rust hole.

Sounds good. I think I can get it for around $400.

Looking at a Jan/53 M100. It's missing the fenders and the lunette has been cut off and a civy hitch welded on. Just curious as to the difficulty finding fenders and if the lunette can be replaced as a bolt on item or need to be welded. Would a M416 lunette be sufficiently correct? The back...

I tend to gravitate toward unique (oddball) type vehicles. That's one of the reasons I've had a MKT, Gama Goat, and now, the Champ. Were I not in the running this month I'd probably vote for Migginsbros simply because I like things that are different than everything else (and because I really...

Here's a walk around video of the Champ at a recent Veteran's Day Parade. And while I still haven't done a lot to it, here's the build thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/working-on-the-fv1801a-or-truck-1-4-ton-4×4-ct-austin-mk-1-aka-austin-champ.177019/

"My Fl. antique tags alone limits my travel but ask me if I care. I only go to the shows with the 915 and trailer. The M37 will be used for shows carried there by in closed trailer and maybe the quick run to grocery store. I do not need / or want it as a daily driver." My comments were just to...

CHUBB or Gulfway. Neither has a garaging restriction. You are limited in useage though as with any other collective policy.

Can't let day 2 go by without an entrée (or entry) for Papabear. 1955 Austin Champ
