Is there a price for someone looking to just attend?

I *MIGHT* have Big Ugly moving by then...maybe. If not I'll probably not come.

Right on Bob H!!!

Also, I talked to Clint Barber this morning and he has been bust'in his but setting this swap meet up. So make sure we all thank him for his time! He said if anyone can show up Thursday, that would be fine.

I was going up on Thursday but front axel parts have not arrived yet for the M185A3 (TNJM!) so I will go up Friday early am via 127 from Lansing.

pm me if you need specific parts, tires or other cool mv stuff!

Ted,
I may be heading up on Friday also but not until noon or so. I am also going up 127. If you are going to leave later than early let me know. If we are pretty close to the same time leaving we could convoy.

I have the inner fender... No on spare tire rack... Good luck might want to check ebay.. Pintle? I think I have a mount but no pintle.. Does your uncles truck have the big hole swivel old style or the single small hole non rotating pintle? There are two types on a M37 depending on year..

Chuck,
I would like to leave after the morning drivers are off the roads. So I was thinking about leaving around 9am or 10am. I am 100 miles to Clare so it should take 2 hours. If you are behind me then at least I know I will have a backup plan :) Anyone else coming from central lower MI?

I also might flat tow my hmmwv behind the M185A3 but first the front axel work has to get done. So time will tell on that.

Guys, keep posting your wish lists and I will bring what I have to dicker and deal with.

Bob H. I replied to your email but it bounced back...I will bring a set of new bias tires...

See you all there.

Went to the show in Clare today. Didn't drive any MV's this year though. The M146 trailer that I was going to bring up behind the M818 had an issue with the brakes overheating not too far from home. The hubs got real hot. I let them cool a bit and brought it home. It would 'free wheel' without the air attached to the trailer, but I didn't know for sure if I had cooked the grease or not. I ended up just driving the car up. Anyway, had a good time catching up with everybody and checking out all the OD (and tan), mv's.
Here are a few pics. I'm sure some others will post more, Dave (67beast) was snapping a few.
