Anyone?

Does anyone have a source for a fuel injector for the Onan in an MEP-016B?

You bought an V17A/MTQ. There are a few of us that have one, although not many are left. Any more pics? Does it run/drive? How complete is it? Most were cut up, the BII for these trucks are even more scarce. Your plans for it?

The LST will be arriving in Chester tomorrow. Over 400 WWII vets have visited the ship in the last two stops. 16,620 toured the ship in Dubuque the weekend before last; I don’t yet know the numbers for last weekend at Bettendorf/Quad Cities. Anyone interested in coming down to see it?

Well guys, it is 2018 and the LST 325 is coming back to Chester this fall on Sept 7-9. I will be putting out more information next week on the specifics for this visit, but I would like to get the initial high level info out. There are a lot of exciting stuff planned, and it will be a great...

I replied poorly in this thread to the OP, and I offer my sincere apologies for it. I don't really know why it set me off, but my reply was way out of line. USAFSS-ColdWarrior, I am sorry for being a jerk, you definitely do not deserve it.

Opposite ends of the states, but closer.... I travel to Evansville Indiana frequently to work on the LST, and could be able to go a little further to get it picked up.
