Do the earliest U.S. deuce's have a 90 adapter/ extension/ add-on piece on the light switch? Found this chunk of metal behind the switch and just checking to see if it's original 'Deuce' gear or swiped off something that 'needed' a 90. The weather has been ideal so got the seat out to find...

What is the fuel pressure going in to the carb? I just saw the Continental 6602 manual in the bunker library but didn't grab it. The 302 GMC 885 likes low pressure between 3-5lbs. If the pressure is correct then the next check would be float soup. Boil water, add float. There's nothing...

A BIG Canadian Christmas cheer for all those Early Deuce Preservationists and their lovely families that support their effort. Merry Christmas. I bought the paint. We're going to do that rolling preservation thing. Found out it was parked because the e-brake broke then the tank on the poop...

It happened. Mid December.......... Twas a few weeks before Christmas and the ground was quite dry. Wanted to move a Deuce, thought I'd give it a try. All I had running was a three quarter Chevy, Could I get up the hill, that Deuce was heavy. With the correct towbar set up, man that beasts a...

Is that the same bleed routine as the Early Deuce? I think we bled the airpak first but our TM covered the steps real clear. The Early Deuce brakes can be bled and set without building air pressure. The TM's should be here. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/the-deuce-tms.113/ There was also...

That's just awesome fellas. I've looked at a million pictures and a CD Jeep was not expected. I see yellow under that 53' and lots of what I've seen around Illinois was blue and white so we've got options. I added "jeeps" to the Civil Defense hunt and hit """" images """"" Chicago had the best...

Great write up, thank you. Civil Defense had a jeep? A CD jeep? There's a CD Jeep?.......There's a CD jeep!!! ... Our CD museum sits on a joint American/ Canadian Military base in Alsask and I believe your picture of a CD jeep is enough for us to get a jeep. We're getting a jeep! Henderson had...

Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear. Just heard through the ether vine that 3 (maybe 6) M26 Dragon Wagons were procured through the Canadian Army to haul Centurian tanks by these folks https://rcemecorpsgemrc.ca/. That important detail and the sad little hunk of remaining metal may...

The data-base of tail numbers is over here and I was hunting for a N7XXCH or a N7 blurry blurryCH. The S-61N list is impressive. https://www.airport-data.com/search/search2.html?field=model&search=Search&code=Sikorsky%20S-61N It's a good place to grab tail numbers...

Is that tail number N905CH? Nice paint. https://www.airteamimages.com/sikorsky-s-61_N905CH_columbia-helicopters_251016_large.html Same tail number, different paint scheme. https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1115190/n905ch-construction-helicopters-sikorsky-s-61n-mkii Construction Helicopters...

I started shopping for a closed cab today........because of you. The nostalgia is one thing but the curves on the CCKW pull me in. When you get that truck done and suddenly there is a convoy behind you, it's just us trying to get a peak at it. The MVPA boys drive this Closed cab 40 miles to get...

If there was a prize for the coolest and maybe heaviest purchase of the year, it's yours. Congratulations, that's exciting. There's a fella up North here that has some stick and supply time with them so you have company....and an audience. I can't wait for pictures so can only imagine what...

The core of the OP Valour team is part of a "New Start" museum group with over 80 MV's between the various members. https://valourpark.org/ The hope is to continue preservation and build a place where the MV's can be stretched, maintained and shared with whatever segment of the population that...

Some stealth cam pics of supporters, vendors and MV visitors.

Some toys and things.

One of the boys knows some folks that needed to play some airsoft games with some other folks. The G749 farm is almost ideal for games and we had some visitors come stretch their legs. https://opvalour.com/ This promotional video shows some of the sites around the G749 farm and now you won't...

Was it anywhere near the Titanic? That will never happen to most of us. The ladies can't get us to vacuum. I thought this might be a rare occurrence but it happens. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/488155-fuel-tank-imploded-not-catastrophic-2.html One fella took his tank in the shower...

Did you get any pics of those G506's? That's one truck on the list of 'shapes I want to touch with sand paper' before I can't move my arms. Does your child know you built her a graduation hall that you're going to use as a garage? BEautiful work brother, I can't wait to see more. We...

The search function here is funky but if you type in that magnifying glass in the right corner, "mkt-90 kitchen trailer" and hit search, you'll get 5 pages of all kinds of titles including yours. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/search/4874799/?q=mkt-90+kitchen+trailer&o=date Online, using...

I did this last week but got distracted by a marine, sorry. What's the scoop? Here's the scoop. It's basically 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" base with 3 3/4" height off the hood. This one is 3 pieces with the top/angled/sloped piece requiring a 7" long x 5 1/4" rectangle to allow for a 6 1/2" slope with a...
