I try my best NOT TO mention to the truck part suppliers what I am working on when I get parts for any MV's. I just get this deer in the headlights / glazed over look....."a what"......I told you, it's not in your books.

I know - getting the definitive answer is almost impossible. Thats why we have courts!

SO TRUE - how was it from Back to the Future - "where we're going, we don't need roads!"

Very interesting, good to know. Actually I have read quite a bit of the law as it stood within the last 8 months or so, althought I can't say absolutely that I have read every bit of it as I can not remember for sure. But, based on my memory, I do not think that Michigan has an exclusion for...

Hey Travis, No, not at all trying to claim that - but I guess the alternative is to find a 25 year old (for "historic purposes") equipment trailer to put the "camper" on. I think most of them are not over 3' deck height. The 10' tall "camper" would then be below 13' total. It does seem that...

Wow - Thanks for all that you (and our others in uniform) did over there. You made/make us proud. I have already checked with the powers that be on this subject (that is not to say that things can not change or be interpreted differently by the time I try to put it to use). IN MICHIGAN -...

Hey Travis, Yes, you are probably right that actually "lifting and towing" the deuce would be better than using a towbar. The only reason I was leaning that way was how I register/plate/insure/use my MV's. Because they are used for parades and shows, I register and insure them as historic...

YOU ARE THE MAN! Thanks seems to be not enough. Dave.

We were there on Sunday - have taken our '68 Eldorado there a few years ago. The black and gold plymouth wagon belongs to a friend of mine. He'll get a kick out of this. For anyone who hasn't gone to it - it is a great show. The show is both Saturday and Sunday (always Father's Day weekend) and...

My wife is being very nice and not reminding me (very often!) that I'm going to be a half dollar this summer. Sniffle, Sniffle.

Man that's cool! Water can or Fuel can - your kids had to be so proud to be able to get you that. I can imagine grins ear to ear. Very cool. Now - just a thought though - if MV Green Feever is an adiction.....and your family is getting you parts,etc. for your "adiction".....is this...

Thanks Preacherboy! Glad to see that you are keeping the show going. Hopefully, I will be able to make it this year. Have to see with work and all - hate to turn anything down these days. The "touch a truck" approach is a cool thing for the kids even if it does stay just MV's. Course...

Sorry Stuart, Guess I am getting my memories of past ads and such mixed up (But I am NOT going to let this be a sign of getting old - I have much better signs of that). Dave.

Hey Stuart ! Cool - you did end up finally finding one of those anchors - excellent. I remember some pictures on here of one - hard to get an idea of size, but if it was for the HEMTT it had to be huge! Thanks for the info on the oil. I still have some tinkering to do before I can get to...

Thanks Ranger. It's going to be a while, but we are looking foreward to having some fun with it for sure! With it's towing capacity, we are hoping that it won't be too much of a PITA to towbar my deuce M45A2C (cab & chassis) w/w and 17' camper body (was water purification unit (erdilator?))...

Thanks Joel, Never hurts to have a few extra hands or an extra noggin getting scratched! I see the radiators are going to good use (very cool) but I havn't had time to do any tests on the tow lights. To be honest, they are in great condition so I'm not worried at all. Take Care, Dave.

Thanks hatteras, You're right - I have heard of a lot of boats with twin Detroits and such. I think they were even put in the buses on an angle or sideways or something in the rear. Maybe it was the trans that was on an angle - I don't know - deffinitely something I have never played with...

Hi Ord22 - Yes, I got a little lucky (my wife might say brain dead - amazing the different points of view folks can have!) and was able to get this one that somehow made it to auction. Trust me - there is probably not one thing on this old girl that is in "excellent" condition. But then...

Hey 12vctd! yup - found out the long way where the tach drive pulse generator is shown in the TM's! Not to get greedy, but is there an "installation kit" of sorts for the mechanical tach drive to the back of the blower? I still have the old "C" clamp frame that was still on top of the...

yup, I thought they might be pricey - not your typical rubber band! I don't need any yet, but just thought a few spares would be cheap insurance from taking a truck off the ready list. Thanks, Dave
