Getting ready to help my neighbor move a short distance to a new house. It was a good opportunity to get a picture of the rig with the newer camo job on the trailer. The trailer hardly ever gets moved because of the 6700' altitude here and the lack of any serious power from the good old...
Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado rolled 20 vehicles for the Commerce City Parade (bigger than Denver's). The parade's lead vehicle was a member's Pinz tranporting the 4 Grand Marshalls, a family of 4 guys who have served from WWII through both current conflicts. Didn't get pictures of...
The truck belongs to a fellow SS member so I don't know if he has had to buy parts for the carbs. I'll will find out. And you are correct. Zenith on the bad motor, Holley on the replacement motor. Owner is swapping carbs also. Zenith going on the replacement motor.
Gamagoat1's M816 was put to work in assisting the change out of the big old gas motor in this 1958 M54. It appeared to have ate up a forward crank bearing on I-25 last year on its way to a big airshow in Denver. Many SS/MVCC members involved in this operation. The M816 made the swap fairly...
The MVCC (Colorado) will have their usual 20-25 vehicles in the Commerce City Memorial Day Parade just north of Denver. This parade is bigger an better than Denver's. One of our vehicles will be hauling the Grand Marshalls which is an entire family of service members who have served in all...
I also have the Walmart $77 batteries in my deuce and BV206. They have been in he BV for 5 years and have always started it up with no problems after sitting for months. Same for the deuce. For the deuce I bolted 2 marine/rv battery trays to the bottom of the battery box. They each have...
My two large 8D batteries did in fact stay above 25 volts for some time. Again this unit is not going charge 24 volt batteries as used in MVs. As used by me the unit did a good job of maintaining the charge even during the cold periods of Colorado winters. Just a note, after driving the truck...
The Denver area had some real nasty westerly winds last night. Anywhere from 70 to 95 MPH gusts. Unfortunately the 95 MPH winds fanned a small wildfire up by Fort Collins into a 2000 + acre house burning mess. Down here south of Denver we ONLY had 75 MPH gusts. The wind took down a good...
Here is a link to the Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado recent event called Operation Bizzard held at historic Camp Hale in the Colorado Mountains where the 10th Mountain Division Trained during WWII and later conflicts. We had a M29 and a BV206 up there. Club members camp out up there...
A few more. For those who are curious about the white M220, that vehicle was obtained from the Yuma Proving Grounds just as you see it. Pretty cool! (literally)
The Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado (MVCC) displayed a few vehicles in support of Heroes vs Heroes Basketball Games which was an event sponsored by the Freedom Hunters who provide outdoor adventures/activities to our wounded Warriors. The other Heroes were the special need high school...
The Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado will be rolling 20-25 vehicles in Denver's St Patrick's Day Parade as usual on Saturday, March 12th. Parade starts at 10 AM. We end up in the staging area for about an hour and a half before the parade so if anyone is in the Denver area stop by and see...
I don't know, ease of application, good looks, touches up way better than enamels, Home Depots everywhere, easy clean up, maybe a little cheaper, is working well for me and I like the stuff. I guess we'll see how well this stuff holds up but so far so good.
I like Gunfreak 25 used the new Behr paint/primer in one matching some rattle can painted parts to do my M971 trailer. Washed it real good with dish soap and a pressure washer first. I am happy whow well this big project came out. The paint has been on the trailer now for 8 months and is...
