I have no idea what a transfer is worth. However, I sold my loose takeout sliding around in the back of the truck unknown working condition deuce Spicer 3053 transmission for $100 a couple of year ago. I think the buyer liked the price and I didn't want to lug it around anymore, so it was...

Very cool looking rail around the top of the cab. Nice work, how did you attach the rail?

So that crane-truck seems to be making her rounds amongst GA steelsoldiers. Can I have a turn? :) Great looking truck, and the type looks to be incredibly useful. I'd have to lift things just for fun.

Nope. We gave them cage/standoff armor too. They probably just didn't understand it would save their lives so they took it off. Or they took it off to sell it. Iraqis tore up a lot of their nice stuff.

Doesn't look new to me.

Welcome! I'm from just south of Ann Arbor.

That aircraft landing and taxiing at the beginning looks like a Junkers Ju-290. It's probably Ju-290 A-4 No. 165.

There are multiple types of speakers that connect in different ways. But one LS-671 powered loud speaker per RT is the most common for a vehicle configuration. Mounting base port J3 for RT A, J4 for RT B.

One LS-671 speaker per RT. But you have options.

The machinery and tooling likely does not exist. Tooling and machinery for many weapons systems were put into long term storage during and after the war, but as time progressed and the old weapons became even more obsolete the government purged the items in storage. As the tooling was cleaned...

That HMMWV was cannibalized and/or suffered some other unpleasant non-Airborne demise. If it burned in on a airdrop the fiberglass hood would certainly be splintered; overall it would look far worse. Just look at the photo of what was an M37. It looks like the hood was just removed then set back...

Great write up. This is what tutorials on SS should look like. I wish I had seen this years ago before I figured it all out. Of course I'm still learning, I might try taking a little material out of the center so the female connector fits. Good tip! I purchased a "used" AF-8 in a nice case...

That picture is a concept M38 ambulance. The Army toyed with the idea but they never went in to production. I'm not sure if any survive, but if so they would be EXTREMELY rare. I've never seen a photo of a LWB CJ2a.

The Army doesn't usually provide service records with vehicles. If you happen to find some paperwork in your vehicle count yourself lucky. Don't expect to get service records with a surplus vehicle.

Nice looking truck. Watch that Michigan road salt.

Squared off wheel fenders tells me it's a M416. It's probably salvageable unless the frame is rusted out.

Cut off lunette, rusted bed, hard to tell but the lights are probably cut and non-original... I'd offer scrap value. I just don't get why people chop these trailers up. It's cheaper and easier just to adapt your hitch, change the bulbs and wire up a light plug adaptor.

I'd say it depends on your skills. I've been looking for an affordable M416 for awhile, but I have zero welding skills so repairing isn't an option. If you can weld with minimal effort I'd say go for it. Is it just the tub that's rusted out and the rest is original?
