I forgot an event with the youngest that day. Can't make it this time...

What time do you want to arrive at the show? I belive registration begins at 9am. Shoot for 30 min before just in case of traffic?

Sounds good!
So about 745 or 8 at 7-11 on George Washington should be close

Just got looking at the route times and your right on the money. I'll be aiming for 7:45 at the 7-11 that puts me leaving at 6:20-6:30. That 7-11 has a big parking lot that will be easy to get in and out of right?

I've got water, Pepsi, a&w, and Sunkist and 4 different types of chips. Anything else needed? What's our head and vehicle count looking like?

Have had 2 bow out due to family obligations and never heard back from one other so its you and I unless someone just shows up.
Bit disappointed but I'm still planning on having a good day!

Ya'll missed a great time, more and pics coming!

Just ended up being Capehenery, me, and my wife. A little more than 450 cars and our 2 M923A2's and my M105A2 trailer. They were well received, lots of kids climbing in and out. Lots of service men and women, and lots of interested folks.

We had plenty of hot dogs, drinks, and chips. I had a uneventful trip there and back but dogs find out that is a bad idea to leave extra canned drinks in the bed of the 105. By the time I got there I had busted 2 root beers and a Sunkist. It was all over the floor.

Had a great time and got to meet Mike and his wife. Thanks for making the trip! Had lots of interest in the trucks and was able to pique interest for a few people to come to OD Green side!

Soldier B wanted to Drive for a bit so I let him have command during the show.

Found a new leak after I got home. Looks like I have a new project to figure out
Any suggestions are welcome.

Pinion seal or 3rd member to housing? Pinion seal is fairly easy, the 3rd member (or what I think it's called) I think you have to pull the whole housing out from under the truck to remove the gear set. Check your axle vent 1st.

 

[Capehenery]

Thanks Mike, I found some info in the TM's but still unsure of the best way to figure out which one it is. After I check the air vent I plan on washing it down and driving for a short distance and checking again to see if I can determine where the leak is. There is oil on the pinion but not convinced that's the source. I'm hoping so because it would be easier than pulling the axle.

Looks like a Pinion Seal.

was at car show with my 73 mach 1 mustang and noticed the m923s and struck up conversation with allen and had plenty of questions on the how to's and such. well a few months later iam about to buy a m932a2 and wanted to say thanks to allen. met up with him at his house and he showed me what to look for and the ins and outs of owning one. hope to make the jump from classic cars to the green side!
