That was kind'a my thought. I work in an industry where we have to make a lot of little, odd metal parts. This didn't look too difficult at all. I bet you could get the forgings for the shackles made pretty cheap too. The shackles also look pretty simple. Might be worth pursuing if the demand...

Speaking of the forgings and shackle, if anyone here knows of any, please let me know. Thanks, Storm 51

Well, popz76 had a set of the brackets and 1 shackle. Now I'm just looking for the shackle forgings and 1 more shackle. I can't understand why someone doesn't start making these if they are so rare. They don't seem to be a particularly difficult part to make. Oh well, off to find the shackle...

Yes, it is.

Does anyone have or knows who has the Marine Corp rear lifting shackle brackets for sale or trade? I've been looking for a set for my M-37. Are the brackets on the Deuces or 5 tons the same? Is anybody making new ones? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Here's my "wall of green radios" in the storage unit. I've got most of the stuff inventoried but I don't know if any of it works. I think I have to rebuild most of the mounts. The RT-70 / AM-65 looks brand new and unused and the AN / GRR-5 is complete and probably works fine. I'm trying to...

Does anyone have any drawings or pictures of what these trailers look like when they are restored (or were in use in the military)? What went in them? Is there even a list of equipment they carried?

Thanks, BillF! That will be fine. just let me know when you get to them. If there is anything you are looking for please let me know (M37 and Old Family radio stuff). I may not have it but I've been collecting the stuff for over 30 years. :D

Hi popacom, I'm trying to put together 3 separate Old Family radio systems, the GRC-3, GRC-5, & the GRC-7. I have a list of things I'm still looking for including the MT-297 mounts (I need 3) and almost all the cables. The connector I need is the one that plugs into the C-375/VRC contol box...

I'm trying to complete and install the Old Family radio systems GRC-3, GRC-5 and GRC-7 (along with an AN/GRR-5) in my M 42. I either have or have located most of the parts and pieces for these sets, except for some cables, mast pieces and mounts. The biggest problem seems to be locating the...

Do you still have any of this cable? I'd be interested in getting some if you do. I'd be even more interested if it has the plug on one end. :D Thanks, popacom!

That is a nice truck! Most of the stuff is still there and appearently is working. You can trade stuff that is incorrect or "customized" for original stuff if you want to refurbish or restore it. That looks like a fun project to "bring back" to a more stock truck. Congratulations! :beer:

Congratulations on your new acquistion and my condolences on being infected with "The Green Disease". M 37's are absolutely magical. It is simply amazing all the things they can do, like puliing your rental truck and trailer (which were meant to tow the M37) out of the muck. You've already...

Thanks, Wolfen! It's a little far for me right now on my schedule. However, in the future I'd like to take you up on that. As far as parking and food goes, food is not a problem! That's the good news. The parking however is non-existent. That's the bad news (in fact I'm looking for a place...

Hello All, I'm new to Steel Soldiers, but not MV's. I am however, just now starting the process of learning about green radios. I have my HAM license (KF7FTC General) so that I can play with these radios. About 25 to 30 years ago I picked up most of the RT-66 / RT-67 / RT-68 sets with their...

Do you guys ever do anything farther north, like the Woodinville or Bothell area?
