Am I correct to assume weather strip seals will be available at the show? I'm looking to get door and windshield weather stripping. Also window slides for both doors for my M925A2.

I will have some 11.00x20 tires available. If anyone wants a certain amount of tires PM me and I will put them in the truck. I have both new and brand new caps available.

Loading the truck up now for the ride up, lotsa little things, manuals, ammo cans, wine crate, tools, etc. Stop on by and say "hi"! Will be in my normal spots on the NE side against the fence. Weather is still slated to be great, lows in the high 40s, high in the 70s. Partly sunny the whole time!

Sorry, no Vietnam display this time. Ran out of time and money. Maybe next time.

It was my first time, nice show. My son and I took the 931A1 and enjoyed rides in the CCKW and the Halftrack.

Yes, excellent show,lots of vendors and lots of vehicles! Also good weather.

Maybe we should have a moment of silence, for "Ed Luksa" who passed away on Saturday .

Enjoyed the show, weather was nice also. The RedBall MV Club did a fantastic job hosting and putting the show together. All of their hard work is much appreciated. More vendors than I have ever seen at Gilbert, nice job Jim Gilmore. Thanks to all of the people who came out from all over North America, enjoyed your company and looking at your MV's and OD Green Stuff!

As, Scott stated in the previous post, Sat was tarnished by the passing of ED LUKSA. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends, as we are deeply saddened by this sudden loss. Thanks to the RedBall Club for handling the situation as in a professional manner.
I know Ed enjoyed himself at the show, because I talked with him every morning over coffee and breakfast which I prepared for him in the Gypsy Company MKT. He was the first person to come visit with me each morning, including his last morning on earth.

Sadly, Gypsy Company lost a family member that day also. My good friends Steve and Anna Rudowsky, lost Steve’s Mom, who enjoyed coming to the Gilbert Show and partaking in our crazy hobby. A moment of silence for "MOM" Rudowsky also, she was a beautiful human being. I will miss her dearly. Our prayers and condolences go out to Steve's Dad and their entire family. In spirit, Ed and Mrs. Rudowsky will be with us at future Gilbert Shows, as are so many brother and sisters before them.
I hope all had a good time and made it home safely. See you next year and God Bless.

Of the 3 Redballs I've attended, this one had the largest and widest variety of display vehicles, the most vendors, and without a doubt, the best weather. It was the 1st time my niece and her son attended a show and this one was just right for letting them know what the hobby is about. It's always good to see and greet friends and put faces and names with avatars, and I appreciate the warm welcomes you call gave to Pam and Bill.

I think that the cook's tour of John's MKT was the highlight for Bill. Pam got a rare ride in a Half-Track and before Saturday, she didn't know what they were.

Looking forward to next year. It's a real fall highlight.

Not sure what the problem is, but having issues with editing the previous post. Sorry for the format and redundant wording, cannot edit the text for some reason? Anyhow, here are some more pics from the show.

Great event..... Most importantly..... good people.

Did I mention awesome food!

There were high's and lows at the event.... in other words "life happened" while we were all "Out playing Trucks" as my son would say. I would wish congratulations to the newly weds, my condolences as well for their loss but I wanted to thank everyone for making the event something that I looked forward to for months.

Thank you to everyone that helped with "Project Gun Ring".... the truck received sighs and "head shakes" when it pulled up the driveway while I smiled all the way thru my "Look what I did" speech".

The show was great and was the first time we stayed for the whole event. There was lots of vendors and vehicles and a great time meeting everyone In Gypsy Company. I have lots of photos of the convoy leaving Sunday if anyone is interested. I made some with effects to make It look like vintage photos. Thanks again and looking forward to attending next year.
