    WW2 Photos Old Iron

    Photography is changing. The ease of digital is a blessing and a curse. From the days of the Civil War where an entire wagon was needed to haul plates and developing equipment to the combat photgraphers of WW1 with large box cameras and some early movies. Although this is site about MV's, the...

    Hood skin separating from braces...

    I used the remainder of a tube of sealant that I used to hold in automotive glass. It flexes, does not freeze, very sticky, and allows the steel on the hood to move with the temperature changes, and comes in black. Used on a 1009 and 880 with excellent results.

    Crew Cab M880?

    Looks like a Bi-Centenial Michigan plate on the front from 1976. There were at least 3 AFB/ANG bases in Michigan in those days that do not exist now. Kinchloe, K.I. Sawyer, Wurtsmouth. All SAC bases I belive. "Of the nukes, we will neither confirm or deny."

    M880 Picture Thread

    Gillespie 383. After about a year the gloss fades. Very forgiving to apply. I used Rustolium Very Rusty Primer as a base coat. An attempt to d/a sand the old CARC brush marks out was slightly effective from 33 years of baking in the sun. But she is named Old Ugly anyway.

    24v inline fuel pump

    As for transfering fuel from one tank to another, I suppose any 24 volt would work. The stock in tank pump is a bit like a mini sump pump and seems to move alot of fuel. Here is a thread on this type of discussion on the electric pump for replacement of the regular in tank pump from a few years...

    Pics request of CUCV's painted with Rapco paint.

    A M880 painted with Gillespie 383 right after the mask was pulled. About a year later it dulled out nicely and the gloss went away even stored inside.

    What have you done to your M-37 lately?

    Some nice weather allowed the box, tailgate, fenders, window frame to get some paint. This truck was REALLY bad. But, I elected to repair and rebuild nearly all the body parts with patches and in some instances, a sledge hammer. I can be satisfied at least it was saved from the scrapper. It...
