Couple of links to the 43rd Columbia Veterans Day Parade. MVCSC was #18 in this years parade, while Congressman Wilson (riding in a HMMWV) was #38.

I stand by my vehicle at shows and let people in the cab (deuce) one at the time to have their picture taken. Even have a short ladder to the kids to climb up and down. If I need to do something else (get food, use 'facilities', etc.) the ladder goes between the seat and the steering wheel and...
Adapters are available to fit almost any antenna cable to the antenna base. The mechanical part is easy, the electrical (impedance and SWR) is a little more involved. For that, you need to find an 'elmer' local to your location. That can be done by finding someone in a local amateur radio club.
That is for an older radio type (60-90's) than current issue. An RT-524 mounted in the cab would be appropriate, but there is a fly-in-the-ointment problem with using them to actually transmit. The only legal frequency for amateur radio is six meters (50 MHz). If it is just for show, then a...
They can be painted with elastometric paint (rubberized stuff that is flexible, such as 'CoolSeal'), then get an overcoat of the correct BEHR paint from Home Depot. The difficulty of finding soft tops is what made me go to all hard top trucks.
Where in SC? I know people in the upstate, Charleston, Florence, Kershaw, Aiken, Orangeburg, and the Columbia area. Group from Columbia will be going to Monroe, NC for the Air Show this weekend, then roll in the Columbia, SC Nov 11 parade.
Welcome to the site! Mark your calendar for Labor Day Weekend 2022 - that will be the VA MV Rally at the Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, VA, about 30 miles north of Charlottesville. There is four of us from South Carolina that go every year!
If you are not getting ANY fuel coming out of the top of the HH, then the button fell off again. If you are not getting fuel to the correct cylinder to fire, then you have a timing problem.
The -24 and -24P manuals should cover this. They are in the TM section of this site, look under the Deuce, because the M109 Shop Van is just one of the many variants of the M-35 series of deuce-and-a-half's.
You are just over the river from SECO, which has been a good place for me to get parts. JP lives in Aiken and has an 814 ('The Long Easy'). If you don't meet up with the Columbia group before then, join us in the Aiken Memorial Day Parade next spring.
Where in SC? We have groups in the upstate and the midlands. A few of us will be at the "Warbirds Over Monroe" on Nov 5-7 in Monroe, NC, just east of Charlotte.
From the truck's perspective, I have the Columbia SC Veterans Day Parade from 2015, The Gilbert, SC Peach Festival Parade from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the 2021 Aiken, SC Memorial Day Parade. Each consists of 9 or 10 three minute videos for each side of the parade route, taken by...
Here is a You Tube taken from my truck of the Gilbert, SC Peach Festival Parade. It's only a 3 minute clip of one side of the crowd - full thing is 30 minutes for each side. Been doing this since 2015. Local TV station (channel 19, WLTX) should have a video if the Columbia Veterans Day Parade...
Depends on whether you want the 'current' green which is 383 green, (FSS 3409? if I remember correctly), the USMC green (FSS 3405? I think), or the old original Olive Drab green, which you will have to find in the Behr Paint threads. There is a list of ALL FSS paint codes there! If you are...
