Appearantly $2,133. In addition to collecting US arms and accoutrements, I also collect photos of them in use. I remembered that I had a good M1911A1 photo that included a jeep with a motivational/warning stencil. Note that the shirt is a Korean era woolen shirt. Officer US insignia on...

It seems we are at that awkward stage in history where it is too late to work within the system but to early to just start shoting the bast***s.

I can't believe you took that on the Belt Parkway/BQE. Used to live right there in Brooklyn Heights back in the bad old days when you could pick up a brownstone for 6 or 7 bucks and the crack was free.

While cleaning up my hard drive I came across these images. They are from May 2010 and were shot on the westbound I-90 outside of Albany, NY. Crappy image quality but the best I could do. The decal on the gun turret seems to indicate these are for the glow-in-the-dark secirity folks at...

Not a good day. Picked up a larger battery to replace the small automobile one in the M37 (which I need to come with a name for). Since there was already a NAPA Commercial #7327 battery in there, I got a duplicate so this way they will be evenly matched and hopefully start a little easier when...

I've been tooling around my property on my M37 a few times but hadn't really taken it for a spin in public yet. The other day my fire company got toned out for a pretty good structure fire and when it was all done we had all sorts of muddied up gear that we put on the side to clean. We had...

Just started thinking about that this morning. Need to find out whats involved in taking it off and, more importantly, getting it back on!

I notice that a common thread in many posts about private ownership of former military vehicle is about ongoing disagreements or difficulties with various Departments Of Motor Vehicles (DMV's). It's a shame because everyone is working towards the same goal: putting a motor vehicle safely on...

Since I am not particularly mechanically inclined when it comes to motor vehicles I am trying to do as much reading as I can before playing with my M37. I'm reading about the various Preventative Maintenance Checks & Services (PMCS) that need to be done and was wondering about the various...

I'm a bit of a technology Luddite; in the posting format the amount of images one could put in was limited. Tried it as HTML but to no avail. Address reference fixed.

Well, I finally got some warm weather so I shot some Truck Porn for everyone who was asking......... First, the vehicle has a plate on the dash that say makers serial number is 8003421. Ord. Stock No. 23208358322. When overhauled in 1968 the mileage was around 22,000; currently 59670...

Nope. Just making the point that, like a car wreck, a tour in 'Nam or a really craptacular first marriage, there are some experiences we -really- just want to blot out. This Chinese Fire Drill of a road trip was one of them. Somehow I suspect that no matter how much cheap booze, Russian hookers...

I didnt know one could change the colors. :?:

Well, much like a kid with a new toy, as soon as I got home from work this morning (I work 2300 - 0700) I started crawling around my M37. Man this thing is fascinating. I crawled around under it for a bit and am very impressed. It seems like a fellow with a good socket set and a hoist could...

Well, it's like this: The roads had snow and ice, the U-haul truck had crappy tires, the trailer was grossly overloaded and the fellows property was on an incline. The truck and trailer weren't going anywhere -empty- and sure as **** weren't going anywhere with the M37 on board. The fellow...

Funny you should mention that. While an M37 will, dimensionaly, fit on a U-haul trailer, weight-wise it is NOT NOT NOT NOT recommended. Particularly when the towing U-haul truck has crappy tires and the roads are snowy and icy. Hands down transporting this vehicle was one of the top 3 all...

I missed the part about introductions; lemme fix that....... ahem......hello...hello..is this thing on? OK, here goes..... Hi! I'm Robert and I'm an alco......... Wait..never mind..wrong meeting. I'm just a guy who knows squat about motor vehicles and is looking to learn. I live in NY...

I've acquired my first military vehicle. For quite a while now I have been wanting to try my hand at learning how to work on motor vehicles and at the same time indulge my interest in miltary hardware. I had been collecting US military small arms for about 20 years and built up a museum...

I need some advice re:M35's and the cargo/troop bed. I've been trying to find a decent M37 as a work/knockaround vehicle but other than one at my mutual aid fire company, I can't find any locally. I figure until one comes along, perhaps a nice M35 would hold me. I'd like to acquire a nice...
