Hello Team, Saturday at the Olympic Flight museum, they will be having their Fall Military Show and sale. You might be able to pick up a few goodies for your historic presentation with your vehicle. If you want to part with some of your extra stuff, give them a call and get a table. I most likely will be unable to attend this time due to work responsibilities.

Replacing a service diaphragm is easy. just 1 clamp and some wiggling it it will come off. Parking air pot is HIGHLY recommended in just replacing the pot after inserting a caging bolt. Any brake work done to air brake vehicles I always cage no matter what part im working on.

fortunatly im in OR, BUT whore would you buy a set fitting 395's? (prefer V-Bar) ice chain

is that a requirement for deuce?
Where I used to work, we had drills travelling most of the western states & had to become familiar with the various states' chain laws.

When chains are required, Oregon's chain regulation requires more chains on tandem axle trucks than in Washington. The regulations would apply to a deuce. Oregon DOT minimum chain requirements
I'm not sure what areas are designated "SNOW ZONE" where the chains need to be on the vehicle just in case.

I'd want chains. I've crossed that pass in Jan during a story in a AWD SUV. It was fun.
