Burlington Iowa Steamboat Days Parade.

[Tim Powell]

Yesterday, 20 June, was the Burlington Steamboat Days Parade.
This was the first time we ran our truck in the parade and were grouped with the VFW & National Guard!
It was a good day, the weather was nice, the crowd was full of energy and the M-37 ran great!

Thanks for the pictures Tim, looks like a fun day and your M is something you should be proud of., nice work sir.

[Tim Powell]

Thank You Carter & Everyone!
We are proud of our "M" and really enjoy sharing it with others.
I figure it belongs to the Veteran's and I'm just the temporary care-taker.
It's a bit rough when you get close but everyday it becomes closer to original.
Cater, I think I have a few of your parts on our truck!

We sure have enjoyed sharing the M-37 & the Troops with the National Guard really checked her out!!
You gonna' look for "Sammy" in Topeka? He's a good Guy. A lot nicer than me!

[Cal_Gary]

He'll have to find me since I don't know who he is! I'll have my G741 hat on-send him my way-I'd be pleased to meet him!

Great pictures, Tim. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the parade and that folks at the parade enjoyed your truck.

The truck is looking better all the time. That is the nice thing about these trucks; all the little improvements add up over time. People who only see the truck once or twice a year really notice the overall change.

Nice job!

[Tim Powell]

Thank You All for all the nice words!! Makes it well worth the effort!
Now if I could hit the lottery so I could get the Jeep finished! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It's not a Military rig, but again it's our way of saying "Thank You".
