For those wanting to get vehicles ready for the big show in May, this is your official notice, you have less than six months to get them ready. For those doing restorations, this time will FLY by. :)

Must take the time to thanks LongueCarbine, zout, and AMGeneral in their efforts in moving two LMTV rims and tires from Louisiana to Georgia to North Carolina to Virginia over the past several months. The Steel Soldiers Freight Service works, as long as you're patient, and I want to thank these...

Anyone here ever think about putting a 5-ton wrecker setup in the rear end of a M915 or M916 tractor? Just got a brainfart about that idea, it might not be as rugged as a M816 wrecker, as the frame is not doubled up, but might make a road tractor a little more useful for those who have a -915...

Does anyone here have experience using a Holmes-style wrecker? Not sure the mechanics of an older tow truck, having grown up almost entirely in the rollback tow truck era. Can anyone explain to me the purpose of the black-strap looking thing that hung down in the rear of the older tow trucks...

Does someone have a pin-out of the standard military trailer receptacle, showing the pin numbers and locations, and what each pin is used for? I have to re-wire the trailer receptacle on the M37, and I have nothing to go by.

Anyone here have a M915/916/920/etc tractor that can tell me how these rigs handle going up and down hills? Lotsa up and downshifting? I understand how most big rigs work with the manual transmissions, just curious how these larger MVs do with a load with its semi-automatic tranny.

Take a look at the radio collection this gent has amassed. It is the largest operational Navy radio hamshack I have ever seen. He has done all his own resto, and his webpage is LOADED with info on his rigs. I have attached some pics from his site, and also the link: K4NYW Navy Radio Shack

Saw this on Yahoo. Thought you'd like to see. http://news.yahoo.com/video/world-15749633/tourists-flock-to-german-tank-school-22606513

Has anyone here ever put a lift gate on the back end of a deuce? I've seen them on M820 vans, but not on a deuce. The under-frame stuff on a standard -35 might prevent it, but perhaps on a M36A2?

Does anyone know the thickness or gauge of the steel used in the floor of the cargo bed of the deuce?

It's a "Buy it Now" auction, so I doubt this is banned here. Austin Weber has a rare set of M715 towbar feet there. Looks good condition, thought I'd point it out because they are hard as hen's teeth to find and I had a couple ask me about them in the past year. Large tow Bar Feet 1"R 3/4"...

Has anyone ever boxed the frame of their MV for more strength offroad? I doubt someone would do it with a deuce, but M1008s, M880s, jeeps, perhaps.... Sorta on topic question: I was told welding on a frame is a bad thing. Please explain why boxing the frame then would be stronger, and not weaker.

I've had these pictures saved on my computer for years. Does anyone here own this thing? What is it? Never seen a 6x6 version of the V-100 before....

Anyone here restore a pioneer tool trailer, AND get all the stuff for the inside to complete the resto? I have seen manuals telling of the contents, drawings of where everything should go. Just wondering if anyone went all the way, and can provide detailed pics of everything in its place.

Got into a heated discussion with a friend of mine on the phone last night about repowering a M880 Dodge he owns. He's of the mindset that he wants to replace the 318ci engine with another Dodge power plant, a big block in the 383 or 440 family. He even mentioned a hemi (lotsobux). I'm of the...

Didn't see one, thought I would start it out. Anyone take any good pictures of the vehicles at the show?

Looking for anyone who has anything Vietnam-era, weapons, vehicles, or otherwise, that would like to display at the hooch on the east end of the fairgrounds, to let me know what you have and bring it there anytime Thursday-Saturday. I am especially looking for anyone with an M2 or M122 tripod...

Okay, I have never done any MV painting that didn't involve a spray can. Since this will be my first time painting with a compressor and a paint gun, was hoping someone here could school me in the art of doing so. I have the following items so far: 4 gallons of 24087 OD semi gloss air...

Anyone know what kinda mount this is? Looks like a M23 cradle sitting on some strange curved base. Seen the curved base elsewhere, would like to know what it was originally on.

Was there any gensets with the same engine as the deuce? Might be in the market for a multifuel genset in the next year, wanted to see what I would have to keep an eye out for.
