Well there's not a forum for them on here so with its tracked brethren it goes! Picked up a fairly complete M501 Hawk Missile Carrier yesterday... for $100 bucks haha. Engine is free and the drivetrain is complete. The control linkages are all seized up but shouldn't take too long to pull...

Its been a **** of a year with all the changes. Finally have a good job after 2 years of unemployment, quit tobacco, and many other things. Havent been around much but have been making progress on the M37! The Paint and body work is finally done! Its been on going since I dropped it all off...

Found on a popular auction site. Never thought id see 20s and a chrome grill on a M37 :confused:

Went to go pick up my M37 from the sand blaster today and ended up driving away with an empty trailer. Made a great deal with the resto shop that did the blasting to do the paint work so it will come back ready for reassembly! Cant wait to see it wearing its new paint. Heres a few pictures of...

Found these frame stampings on the M37 when I pressure washed it off for sand blasting. Ive never noticed them and dont think Ive seen pictures of like markings on other trucks. They are approx. below where the under bed tool box would be. They are also mirrored on the other side of the...

Ft. Wayne has this vehicle sitting on the grounds with no plaque near it and they were not sure what it is. any ideas? Neat piece of armor for sure!

Got the engine back into the Mep-017a and need to hook up the wiring to the starter. I have all of the TMs and have gone through them but unfortunately it directs to just tag all of the connections before removal. Wires were disconnected when i got a hold of the engine. Ive got one wire that...

Looks like the valves in the fire truck are stuck enough to warrant pulling the head to free them up. Its got a T118 engine in it, any idea if its the same head gasket as a 218 or 230? Got to be dang close since its still an L head. Got a pile of 230 and 218 stuff and it would be nice to use...

Picking up a MEP-025 tomorrow that I traded an old trailer for. I know its 28 volts but what do people do with these machines? What was its original function, Lighting? This one has very low hours on it and was rebuilt in 82 and for the 100 bucks I have in the trailer its not a bad deal...

Happened across this WF-32 military fire truck and was wondering if anyone had any info on it. 1943 Dodge and is definitly data plated as a MV. Corp of Engineers. Cant seem to find any info or photos of another one, Chevy and Ford examples I can find info on...

Figured id post up some photos of our project that has been on going for a month or so now. Had some issues with the engines running very rich and some suspected fuel leaks. We decided to pull the armor and radiators to investigate and really found out what ethanol does to the old gasket...

Just got a new 2011 car trailer and it doesn't have any tie downs that i would feel safe tying a vehicle to. It has 6 welded on "5000lb" capacity d rings. Hardly what i would call secure or even remotely trust-able. I'm looking at the bolt on style D rings rated at 12k lbs breaking and 4k...

I scored an oil pump rebuild kit a while back for next to nothing and i was curious if anyone had used one? Ive rebuilt pumps before for John Deere stuff. The old pump made plenty of pressure and is in good shape but is a civilian pump so the key way is not offset. Any experience with...

I just figured out that there is some sort of adapter in my truck to convert civilian plug wires to screw onto the military distributor. Has anyone else seen something like this? They are machined steel and really seem to do the trick, they even seal up! Just curious if these were made by...

Well i was able to sell another project so the rebuild of the M37 begins! Got it in the garage today and got the old bed ripped off of it. So far so good, I havent found anything other than surface rust here and there. Tomorrow the front clip and engine come off and out of it. Gonna get...

This was brought in the libyan c130 thread but i found video of this thing actually flying. Pretty neat! It is to bad that the aircraft crashed, it would have made a heck of a story to rescue the iran hostages with it especially after desert one!

couple of MUTT questions-now with pictures! Well I found a 1968 MUTT for sale and may have enacted a trade on it. My question is i know there are those on here who have had to title them. Did you have any luck or are they pretty much done with without a title? I am in CO. Its claimed to be...
