Going to Coleman's next week. Need anything?

I will be taking a trip up to Coleman's Surplus in central PA next Friday. Saturn Surplus is nearby. Does anyone need anything up that way while I am up there? I don't have a lot of cash to play with, but I can pick up smaller items and hold them for a spell...

RE: Going to Coleman

Anyone? Got a PM from nickd saying he'd like to meet me up there. Seems every time I post pics from Colemans I get a bunch of guys drooling over the hardware laying around the yard, thought there'd be interested in me salvaging some parts....

RE: Going to Coleman

Let's see if I can't work up a short list...

Hows about a rear bumper off of a humvee..The tube type w/tow hooks..

exhaust stack and j pipe?

Well studs for front spacers on 5ton Bridge truck 4"+ in length could use about 3 . Had one break last FRI. OSO

Okay, here's who I have down for parts so far:

BIGDIG - HMMWV rear bumper - I don't think he has any of them

CanonNinja - M35 exhaust stack and J pipe - will check

OSO - M139 bridge truck well studs - I don't think he has any of them

HeadWizard - M35A2 left fender, radiator, and plastic battery box - will check

Opie - three of the 25MM ammo boxes, M35 pair of soft top cab bows, a throttle cable, or even just the pull handle, a stone guard (whatever the small grill that fit over the radiator is called), a pair of front axle hubs (to be de-splined) - will check

Junkyard Wars Crusher - 5-ton air cleaner assembly - will check


I believe there was someone a while back who wanted the rear fenders for a deuce tractor. Does anyone still need these?

That was Kenny on the tractor fenders.

PM sent, let me know if you need a pic. I'll have to send it to your email.

When I was there a few months ago, the only M35A2 radiators he had were total junk. Perhaps when they were first put in the field, all nice and new they were good, but years or being tossed arround, they are toast now...

Westfolk got me the rear quarter fender!

What the heck Ask them if they have any 8 lug, 12 bolt, HMMWV rims and how much they want for them. If you can get a look or a pic so much the better. 8 bolts are everywhere and 12 bolts are rare, unless you are willing to pay $100 ea

You're gonna have to help me with a pic on those. 8 lug 12 bolt? I am used to 1 bolt for every lug nut, but that's just me.

They are a beadlock rim. The rim comes apart. The 8 lug refers to the hub mounting holes. 12 bolt refers to the 12 nuts & bolts that hold the two rim parts together

BTW, I don't want the runflats either but they are usually sold separately anyway.

Fairly popular with the 4X4 crowd. Plenty of confusion about them. Most often question is where do you get 12 lug hubs or adapters for 'em

Okay, I'll check on those too. I know he has plenty of runflat inserts in the scrapyard as well, but I won't bore you with them...

Did someone need a dropside tailgate as well for a M35A2?

I was looking for a dropside tailgate, I got one last time I was there. It was NOS with 10+ years of weathering and rust. It's a shame that it was brandy new at one time, and he just let it rust away out in the yard.............

Called Memphis on Tuesday got a couple ordered on there way here . Thanks For the offer OSO

if they've got the 12bolt hmmwv beadlocks, anyone know the price/each??

The problem with Colemans is that unless your talking to Tom the guy outside who KNOWS the yard, just about anyone else there doenst have a clue, and you need to go there and walk arround in the yard to find what you need.
