Please excuse me; I'm just home from work and exhausted and thus not as clear headed as I might otherwise be. I'm wondering how much M38A1 stuff will interchange. im not really looking to do a full restoration; just get into presentable shape and tool around in it during the warmer weather. i...

There's a fairly decent m170 for sale so close to me that it must be a sign from the gods. How much of the m38A1 stuff I see on the market will interchange with the m170? i don't think I'd be looking to restore it to full military dress. I think I would just want to bring it close to what it...

I'm in Hudson too. Love to see the mule when you get it!

I got my M416 trailer the other day. I was somewhat surprised to find that with some care, forethought and a judicious disregard for some elemental safety rules, one can fit an M416 in the bed of a full size pick up truck. The trailer is in pretty decent shape. The bed itself is a sheet of...

Well, I've given more thought on what to do with this frame and it's attached goodies. My initial plan, and I think it was a good one, was to take the wheels and tires and scrap or sell the balance. Since this whole thing wound up costing me $240 or so, I'd say that my original plan was solid...

$500 be a fair price assuming it is as stated?

Being less than knowledgale about trailer market conditions I figured I would ask here: what is a reasonable price for an M416 trailer in good shape, good tires, no rust thru, needs a paint job? Aslo, where could I find all the relevant spcs for an M416 trailer such as dimensions, weight, etc?

The rolling chassis I acquired for the purpose of salvaging the wheels/tires and scrapping the rest is becoming more and more intriguing. When I got it there was an engine laying loosely in the engine compartment area. I didn't take a good look at it, nor did I care; I was here for wheels and...

I always wonderd why "car guys" always had yards strewn with parts; I'm slowly beginning to understand!

One of the things I had been meaning to get for my M37 was a spare wheel and tire. It came with 4 very nice condition wheels and some rocking tires, but there were only four of them and I really wanted to have a spare. Spare wheels for an M37 are not exactly something you can run down to the...

Why not the A2 or A3?

What trailers would be suitable for use with an M37?

While I am usually in favor of skirting silly laws, this suggestion is like tearing of the laws skirt and ploughing it like a beast in the fields. Knowing my luck I would get nailed for filing a false instrument. I like the way you think though!:grin:

Napalm. It's **** on the landscaping at first, but next year the lawn comes back even greener! Hot Soup For Everyone!! :)

Driving my M37 which is Olive Drab but lacks military markings is usually pretty fun. Lots of folks look and a few of the older guys look really hard. Once in a while some older fellow will see it and you can watch the set of his eyes change, his jaw will tighten and you can tell that for a...
