OMS in Strategic Air Command (SAC) would have been Organizational Maintenance Squadron. That's the squadron for the crew chiefs assigned to and maintain the aircraft on the ramp. They do the preflights, postflights, refuelling, defueling, launch, recovery, and cleaning.

Sounds right! They also used those vehicles to take the crew back and forth to the aircraft. Probably Ellsworth, Grand Rapids or Minot Air Force bomber wings.

Since there are indications that thing was in Rapid City ( the rebuild tag on the engine) I’d say it was probably at Ellsworth AFB and the script on the side was probably something like the 28th Bomb Wing or a numbered Bomb Squadron of some sort. Cool rig either way.

"The starter will be easy to fix" It's not like we haven't heard THAT line before. LOL

Personally, I'm not a fan of using brake cleaner as a starting fluid because it washes the oil from the cylinders. Yes, the propellant in the can may be flammable (propane / butane) but the actual fluid is not. Burning it will just about choke you to death compared to choke / carb cleaner. (ask me how I know)

That’s one of the most hilarious episodes I think I’ve seen of yours in a long time it was so comical to see you driving that metro. Thanks for the laughs👍🍺🍺🤣

That was great fun to watch. I think it’d make a good mobile workshop for someone with a fairly modern engine swap restomod style it would make a useful parts hauler too. Thanks Mortkse and Lord Duffenstein.

That throttle linkage through the block is pretty weird. I had one of the Chevy versions of this type of van and it had the 17.5 split rims on it. Nobody would mount tires on the wheels for me but I found an old timer who did it. Drove it for a short time as a work van (mobile marine) but it proved impractical and I sold it to someone that turned it into an ice cream van.

Finally!!! I’ve been waiting for this one! I love it!! Got into huge argument with “She who must be obeyed” over this one. I want the Metro. She wants new Pro Via doors for the house. Guess who ain’t takin a ‘57 Metro to Hot Rod Power Tour ‘23!!

Awesome Awesome, the look on your face when you backed it out of the shop was priceless. So so happy lol

It took me 2 hours to change the battery on my old clunker today. But I persevered and got the job done. The thing that kept me going through the whole debacle was your ethic of not giving up.

That metro is a project. Glad to see you get her running! Congratulations Mortske! Knew you could get that straight 6 cylinder going. There normally pretty reliable engines. Even though everyone knows it’s going to take some love. To make it a show truck. But have seen a few metro’s at some car shows! Hope someone will take it and work it over. No way can it be made original, because the modifications made after leaving the Air Force. But, the right person could also do that. That would be very cool!

Back in the early '80s my dad bought a 65 international Metro that looked almost identical to the one here. But it was mechanically operable. If I remember right it had a 300 cubic inch 6 cylinder and a four-speed tranny with a very granny low. We affectionately referred to it as the ugly truck as we had several trucks at the time. This brings back some memories.
