A good place to search for what trailers looked like in the 1930's is old National Geographic Magazines (from that time period). Many of the models were basaically unchanged through the 1950's except on some trim items. The basic structure would not have changed much, with the interior layout...
Just remember Fasttrack is not a true shipping company, they prep the GL lot and turn it over to an LTL carrier for delivery. And, they are a franchise. They do not own LTL rolling stock. They are just another set of hands between you and your auction wins, and every set of hands must be greased.
An M-36 will give you five feet more room (17 vs 12), so cutting and splicing in the box is a bit more complex, as it probably needs to be done in two places. But you get five more feet of length, and thus almost another 40 square feet of space to add to the original 96. Almost a 50 percent...
Since many of the dataplates are a raised inscription type, the simplest paint removers should work, but test in a small area.
Mark, are you looking at this site on a computer or a phone/tablet? You need to be on a 'regular' computer that has the Adobe Acrobat reader installed and linked to...
Most military radios that are not more expensive than the vehicle itself operate in the 30-75 Mhz range, the only amateur band available is the 6 meter (51 Mhz) band. RT-524's and similar radios are available, completely tested for about $400, but you will not have many people to talk to...

NO, You have a hot (usually a black insulated wire), a neutral (the white insulated wire), and a Ground (the green insulated (or bare copper) wire. All three need to be hooked up. I am by no means an electrician, but I know that much.
Military says to hold the START button in for as much as 30 seconds if the unit has trouble lighting. If you get ER1, press the STOP button to clear the code, then press START again. You can do that four times before replacing the unit with a good one. I've got one unit (V3) that starts out...
It's the amount of pressure in foot pounds that will determine if it will stay or be pushed. A foot to 18 inches of water will really only affect the tires and pumpkins and you will still have over 13,000 pounds of weight in the air above it. Favor the Deuce. At four feet, the water is pushing...
I too have a field surgical sink for the cooks to wash up their hands. Heater does not work, but the rest is as advertised.
I used commercial wire stainless steel shelving, including the raised side and back sections so stuff only comes out the front. Installed on the driver's side. Also put...
With a fine paintbrush, a little bit at a time. Sorry, but that is the best way unless the letters are all flat on the top. If that is the case you can use a hard rubber roller coated in paint, just have to be careful not to let it get too low.
