I found an XM 152 dodge dated 1954 on data plate,according to googled XM152 sites appears to have been made only about 155 in detroit.A little over 1,000 were made in Canada designated as M152 and used as command and radio trucks.My question is; how many of the detroit models still exist?I will...

I'm glad to hear there is finally a dialog opening for the option of 12 volt conversion,.Up till now all senior member posts have tried to imprint to newer cucv owners that the (leave it alone)theory is the best way.Since 1966 i've been working on all military types of vehicles 6 volt through 28...

There is a junk yard near egypt pa.that used to specialize in old military dodges as well as civilian.I'm too old to start more projects but if someone is interested on following up there may be some trucks there yet,used to be called SAUERWINES.good luck!!!!!:drool::driver:

Bad boys always get rewarded,i hear that his neihbor had 2/ 50's jeep left hand drive mail (DJ's)seems the owner died,so the township calls him and says he can take them for scrap,seems i just can't win,i've been watching them sit under tarps 5' off the road with a sign (NOT FOR SALE)for 10...

recently drove past a scrap yard that had ww2 jeep setting in yard,of course i made a U turn and went to check with owner.Turns out it was a slat grill (complete).I asked the owner of yard if it could be purchased.The answer i got was"what jeep?i don't have any jeeps"so i questioned why i was...

Got pictures of WW2 chev. dump truck in junk yard.been setting there for long time,I tried to get in contact with owner but get no response on phone or stopping at garage.(over 2 year period).seems complete.:cry:

.i cut the slave unit in it's entirety out of my spare M38-A1,but decided not to cut the huge chunk out of mu fiberglass body.The top i found laying in the mud at hawkmans favorite junk yard,the owner practically threw it at me so i decided to decorate the jeep with it.this cj had the original...

started with a new M38-A1 windshield frame then everything went crazy.Never thought that spare parts would end up as a complete jeep.I know that most SS members like originality but i just couldn't help myself.found a fiberglass cj5 tub laying around and steel fenders from about a 1969 and...

I'm thinking i'll have it outfitted in time for the next RED BALL gilbert show along with the 3/4 ton trailer camper that i'm working on.Iexpect to fit my M880 cargo cover to the 101 trailer and pull it behind the XM152,dare i say a bug-out combo or mother in-law apt.:beer:

This XM152 has a 230 with a 23" head (flathead) seats in rear are same as M43,rear compartment lights are small work lights instead of large red surgical light.Gearing of rears is very slow compared with canadian version which also had a 251--25" head.the M43 amb. didn't come with a lunnette...
