They were 'disposed of' as excess material and the decision to "REEF" them was made. Its easier for the local Guard and Reserve units to pull or purge oil sumps and fuel bladders/tanks and then dump them in the ocean in groups with the site predetermined to make optimum use of the structure...

Take Cold Warrior's suggestion, our organization does alot with doing restorations of thye local "cannon in the park' kind of stuff for local communities as a public outreach program. (many don't realize when they sign for the item they signed to maintain it in a manner to which it will not...

The I-400's were all sunk of Hawaii to keep the Soviets from looking them over, (slowed them up, didn't stop them thanks to the Germans they caught) the resting places of them is just of late coming to be known but all are quite deep. The US military is looking seriously into re-introducing...

Thanks its true, just had a doctors appt this after, he said he doesn't know what I'm doing to keep things as good as they are (and I don't think I really want to tell him, he can't take a joke) but that I should keep it up. (the real reason I'm still here, being a Navy Diver, when I die, I'm...

At 71 I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into senior living. I'm certain the 'sturgeon' that did my Wipple for the pancreatic cancer played a trick on me and installed a switch in my "posterior' because after three to four hours work if I sit down, my eyes automatically close. But gotta...

alot of these were later used as saluting guns. Do your self a favor, don't mess too much with that breech, the BATF&E consider even at its age and with the lack of suitable casings, a "device of mass destruction" as its breech loading. (no regs really for muzzle loading guns, our outfit has...

Hi Graytown, Welcome to the 'madness'. You know the Ottawa County Veterans Service Office hosts an outreach program either at the fairgrounds or convention center at Camp Perry, and they like historic vehicles being there. Our outfit, Firelands Military Vehicle Group across the bridge in...

Well, it had to happen. The "Soft Opening" of the Lake Erie Islands to summer started Memorial Day Weekend, and NOBODY took the 'social distancing' seriously. (like anybody is going to when they';re in the Roundhouse Bar or in Frosty's for pizza and beer on Put-in-Bay) But the powers that be...

Think I may have a unit here, I've got a bunch of axle shafts for all sorts of WWII trucks even some DUKW stuff, drive shafts and a transmission and transfer case., Just have to get to the bottom of the pile to find them. I'll look and let you know.

Hey, you're right, there are "issues" and an addictive aspect to the "hobby", but look at it another way. It keeps some of us off the street and out of the way of those we'd probably have serious 'issues' with otherwise. It should actually be considered THERAPY......

I've got about ten of those rotating beacon, (unfortunately they all have blue lenses.) They are NOS, and some are 24 volt, others 12 volt. They're manufactured by MARS. And I've just learned not long ago that the various color lenses are still available from other manufacturers and they fit...

I'm jealous..... You 'stole' that truck, damage and all. I sold mine about a year ago and for the last three months have been kicking myself for it. The parts you need are not difficult to find, there are several dealers in the various HYMV magazines that have them, as well as occasionally...
