Clinto; I've got an original GMC CCW 6x4 closed cab (with an original GMC all steel bed) that I might be interested in parting with. Like him, mine's been waiting a long time for restoration, and there are a bunch of pieces and parts that would go with it. My medical situation says I'll never...

Believe me, it worked for my old M-54 as well.

No, It just existed in another galaxy a long, long time ago.

We're not a business or supplier, but our "Group" has a running M-220 they decided to get rid of as no one has stepped forward to work on it, and we were given an M-211 that couldn't be titled so it became a supply of parts. All are available relatively inexpensively if anyone's interested...

That's just what my wife's mother told her years back when she started to think it was a bad thing. Now SHE owns her own vehicles too.

PLEASE BE ADVISED, the retired military amphibious vehicle/watercraft event in August, the 27th through the 30th, 2015 in conjunction with the In Water Boat Show at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. Issues that effect to operations of...

Welcome to the site, you'll enjoy it, lots of good helpful people on here and good information and ALOT of experience to draw from. You ever get into the Sandusky area and need help, let me of any FMVG (Firelands Military Vehicle Group) member know and mention Steel Soldiers, and they'll do all...

You'd be surprised what comes out of old factory storage, there were three brand new sets of sherman track pads created and fitted to existing tracks. Turns out the tooling had been sitting in a store room somewhere in the complex. The Sherman at the Allen County Historical Society Museum in...

At least you're working with the "newer" stuff. The Hobby gets REALLY dangerous when you start thiunking that all the 'vintage' OD Iron you see needs to be rescued, saved, rebuilt and preserved. Then you start looking like most of us on here, feeling "rode hard and put away wet" and start...

Welcome from N.W. Ohio, if you're ever in the area let us know. The "Group" here is the Firelands Military Vehicle Group. Hey, we'll be at the Heath, Ohio Armed Forces Day Parade, (their 2nd in forever, and this year's the city's 50th birthday) If you're around come over for the parade...

Believe me, we've moved a load with the same issues though not the same item, and it will help you sleep better if you just have it hauled. All it takes is one screw-up to tangle with you enroute, your fault or not and you'll wish you were in the NASA manned Mars probe program. (we came close...

A "bit" worse than one a guy tried to sell me a few years back. Had a kink in the boom farther out, he tried to pick a school bus out of the marsh. My question to him was when did they start making all terrain busses.....

I spent the day working on 'beaching equipment' (LCM-8's) and the ice really made me feel like something was missing. I know it wasn't a big furry biped though.......

Like everybody else on here says, "welcome to the world of wreckers, " and you will find the post about the best and best days being the day you bought it and the day you sold it is right too. I miss my M-62, but.... I don't miss the "issues". Yours at least has most of the right material...

We've got one 8 inch M-115 that we just made ready for the road (the restoration on it continues this winter) we took it out on the road to the Fall Oak Ridge Festival last month in Attica, Ohio. We just made up a set for it. We've got a little 37mm anti-tank gun we tow as well and a set for...

cbear is right, your boat was never intended to be an LCM. It was built as a shipyard/naval station work boat. They quit building LCM-3's after WWII. Your boat had no ramp, the open end of the well deck was boxed in and the deck covered over. And Andrew H is also right, Marinette Marine is...

There's one of those two part bridge boats laying sunk on Lake Erie off Camp Perry currently. It want down several years ago when some 'brass a--' thought he knew better and tried to use two of them to patrol the impact area there instead of use local patrol boats belonging to another unit...

You've got your hands full that's for sure. There are not going to be alot of places where you can get 'ready made parts' for the LCM-6. You need also to find out about when yours was built, maybe the yard that built it like Webbers Cove Boat Works, Silverships, etc. There was some difference...

As far as interest in military boats, our organization here in Ohio on Lake Erie are planning to hold a "Retired Military Watercraft Muster" for lack of a better name possibly in 2015 in the Sandusky, Ohio/Cedar Point Amusement Park area. Possibly in conjunction with a big recreational boat...

How may litters do you need (want), I've a few here I can afford to get rid of let me know.
