The military show is wide open, but the airshow, their first priority is aircraft. We are relegated to a narrow strip of grass along side the main hangar. It is mostly populated with the displays of the Friends of Willie and Joe, WW2 history group. But we may try to crash it with some Desert...

The annual Olympic Flight Museum Airshow is coming up, Father's Day weekend, 18-19 June. It is primarily a military aircraft based show and will have some historic Military Vehicles on display as well. Unfortunately ground space is at a premium, due to a couple of endangered species, so we...

Hello Team, Any of you interested in showing off your green or tan iron are welcome at the Centralia WA Summerfest event on 4 JULY. We will meet at Borst Park, just off exit 82 on I-5 at about 0800. They have a really nice community breakfast and then we will get set up for our display...

T minus one week and counting. Thanks for those that checked in. Hope to see you all there next Saturday. Event runs from 0900 to 1600 for visitors. It is a great day for the kids to climb on just about all the Army and Air Force have in the way of vehicles.

MtnSnow, thank you for sharing the painting manual. I have used chemical strippers, wet dry sandpaper and my current favorite is 4 - 0 steel wool and water. But sometimes 4-0 and lacquer thinner works very well too.

I know it isn't recent, but it is the only one I have and it could get someone on the path. I would like a newer version and will keep looking. The article in Mil. Veh. is a really good one.

Back on your saturated Brake shoes, old mechanic trick. Get some really hot soapy water, scrub the daylights out of them, and let dry. This should take the offending fluid out of them. Although thinking about it, not sure how it will work with DOT 5 as it is more water resistant, but the soap...

There has to be something newer out there, but TB 43-0209, OCT 1976, which superseded TB 746-93-1, OCT 1964. These are color, marking, and camouflage Technical Bulletins. Also OCT 2003 of Military Vehicles Magazine has a great article on the Vehicle Markings. Good luck.

Looks like someone went a bit wild with the tan background. You have a Field artillery truck.

That is a very interesting trailer. What is it set up for? Am also curious about the landing legs positioned on the back.

great stuff Steve. Looks like fun.

Hello Team, Sorry for the late note on this. If you are interested in participating this year, please send me a note. I need to get the security list submitted. Need your Name, first, middle, last. Date of Birth and state your Drivers license is from. I have about 6 guys and 5 or 6 vehicles...

CUCV this project has been languishing for a long time. It is more fun sometimes to drive them than work on them. Dropped the stuff off and went back at the prescribed time and the guy said he hadn't got to it. Guy doesn't return calls and I haven't caught him at his shop the last few times I...

I wish mine looked that good. Body vertical in carport. Chassis at the 1SG's place and I think the radiator shop lost my tank and radiator. One of these days.

Looks like a pretty reasonable facsimile to me. Nice work.

Scrapped paint, adjusted hood so that it can be opened without so much effort. it was a little too close to the cowl. Pondered on replacement of rt. front inner axle seal. Can hardly wait. And have been studying on the CTIS to figure out why rt. rear tire, keeps running out of air. Yes I...

There are several threads on the pros and cons of the 2 vs 4 battery issue. I went from 4 bad batteries to two good ones and it starts just fine. I did this 3 years ago in the 923 with no apparent issues. I am not running accessories or radios. It that is the plan, maybe 4 is best.

Put in two new batteries in the M923A2 yesterday and did some general cleanup. Have been scraping the floor boards. The rubberized paint that they used seems to be a water magnet and holds it in, add the floor mat, and it has caused some severe rust problems. Some good clean up and POR 15...

Sorry Scott, am out for breakfast on most Sundays. Oldsteel, are you wanting to put a box on that truck someday? Check your PM's and give me a call.

Picked up a M923A2 today. It has been sitting for quite awhile, so will need some care. Thought I might drive it home. Put a couple of batteries in it, fired right up, let it run for a bit, shut it down to do the paperwork, went out and it wouldn't start. No fuel was getting through...
