Here are some cMVCC pictures from the Denver Freedom Rally. The first one is of a flag for every life lost on 9-11 placed on the professional soccer team's field. Very sobering.
I did something loke OPCOM did. When I got my pump back from rebuild, the tach did not work. Had been working fine before the rebuild. Same deal, the cable end seemed to be smaller than the socket in the pump now. I used a piece of small diameter plastic tubing i.e. aquarium air tubing to...
Here is link to some photos taken at the Freedom Rally held just north of Denver. The MVCC had a display there and some of our guys are in the pictures. I will post more club specific pictures shortly. Huge motorcycle ride left the grounds there. Bike number in the thousands.
9/11 Freedom...
My guess is there are more than a few in the Steelsoldiers community that lost someone they knew on this terrible day. I honor all who perished that day. I would like to specifically remember my squadron mate and most of all my friend, Capt Jack D. Punches, USN who lost his life in the...
Hndrsonj, a few members put out things to sell, we camp out in our vehicles, trailers or tents but all non-military stuff must be removed from our area by 0800. The show ends around 1600 on Sunday.
Colorado Sport International Air Show and Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In will take place in Denver, August 26-28, 2011 at the Rocky Mountain Metro Airport (BJC) just NW of Denver. The Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado (MVCC) will have 50+ vehicles and numerous equipment displays there for...
Fuzzytoaster, good question. LEO says it just as legal as an F250 pulling a 28' camper with an 18' ski boat towing behind the camper. At least here in CO I believe it is legal. Only had that variety pack on the road one time. By the way I need to add a cow catcher like the Mad Max Mack...
Bruce here is what mine looked like when we found it and now torn apart with some work done. It was a pretty complete and straight truck with spun bearing when I go it. Very rust-free even under the battery tray. Right now the truck does not have a complete anything on it except for the...
Also check to see if the fuel selector valve is set to feed from the onboard tank. My 016C has a threaded tap on a selector valve to allow feed from an external fuel source i.e. a 5 gallon fuel can. That may be in the wrong position on yours. Also the carb has a manual primer lever on it to...
1971 M818 pulling a 1981 m971 and 1986 M105A1 trailers to an event close buy in the good ol USA. Can't see the M105 in the mirrors behind the M971 and you sure can't back that rig!! The 971 has all the hookups (pintle, air & lights) to pull a smaller trailer as the M971 had generators...
Bruce, is your yellow weight classification about 6 inches in diameter? That's what I found mine to be on the door. Mine has the stencil gap in the #4 as shown on the attached picture. One of these days my paint will look like yours hopefully. Still a ways off.

As I sanded away the the blue paint a fire department sprayed over the old OD the door stars appeared. They are both in different locations in reference to the vertical and horizontal center lines of the door. One is closer to the top of the door than the other and one is closer to the front...
Here are a few pictures of the MVCC rolling a few vehicles in the Douglas County Fair parade in Castle Rock, CO supporting the local senior center. We were expecting 40 people, many WWII vets, but only 6 showed up because of variety of reasons. Ghostdriver got some time away from working on...
