    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I finally finished painting my deuce today! I shut the compressor down and cleaned up just after sundown. Can't wait to see what it looks like tomorrow in the daylight! :D

    Behr Paint as a "Frame Paint"

    I just finished painting my M35A2 today at sundown! The nice dry weather and warm temperatures allowed me to get it all completed outside in a three day timespan. It's all covered, topside and under, in Behr (Fed Standard 383 CARC Green ) excluding the cab interior. The prep work is the most...

    What do you build?

    Hey... don't sell yourself short. I'd say what you've done with your MV build projects is pretty nice! [thumbzup]

    My newest turd: Jeepsinker's M49A2

    I located this pic of a Marine paperclip. I'm wondering if this looks more like the one you had... and Jeepsinker now has on his truck? I forget where this pic came from (I downloaded several while searching and snoozzzzzzing :oops: and lost the link), but I think it was in an old SS thread...

    Hi clinto... I'm more interested than before to find out about the paperclips on Marine trucks. If I find any printed, offical info... I'll let you know. I love the truck in your photo. Thanks for posting it! [thumbzup]

    My newest turd: Jeepsinker's M49A2

    I've not seen one either. And... I'm no expert for sure. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about these MV's. Your truck is actually the first photo of a Marine truck where I've seen them pointed down (winch, or no winch). From what I recall my friend said: The paperclips pointed up if it...

    My newest turd: Jeepsinker's M49A2

    Hi NDT... I phoned a friend of mine who was a Marine based in California in the late 1960's. I sent him two photos and asked if he could explain why the 'paperclips' would have been on the bottom of the bumper on Jeepsinker's truck instead of on the top. The 2nd post I made was what he...

    My newest turd: Jeepsinker's M49A2

    Paperclip bumper... Following my previous post, I've discovered a few things. Seems like on Marine trucks in-transport via ship, the bumpers were mounted with the loops all on top of the bumper. Once at their destination, winched trucks had the bumpers removed, flipped and reinstalled to...

    My newest turd: Jeepsinker's M49A2

    Love the pics! It looks pretty awesome to me! Being rust free is a huge plus. Have fun with the clean-up and fix-up. About the Marine 'paperclip' bumper': I've seen a few of them around, but yours is the first one I've noticed that has the paperclips facing downward (with the 'loops' under...

    Stolen M35 - Colorado - on or before 11/22/2015

    I'm really hoping that, one of these days, someone adds a 'happy ending' post to this thread. I sooooooooooo want the owners to get their stolen MV back in one piece.
