    Cadmium plating question

    I tried the Eastwood kit. Of course, results vary by user. The colors came out nice due to the color tints (green and red) but the glossy shean of plated metal wasn't there. Even with the gloss clearcote that was included, the shine isn't as deep which makes the colors look dull like paint...

    Truck Markings?

    A friend of mine has a Blazer with ILNG markings still on it and was denied entry to one of the bases (don't recall which one) here in Indiana. Despite having the registration and insurance, they wouldn't let the truck on with the markings on it. Well, that is the story he told me.

    M151 Floor Drain Plates

    Hey guys, Anyone know where to find any of the drain plates for the original M151 floors? A friend of mine came across a '63 Willys that is missing them and he can't find them. He doesn't do much online stuff so I doubt he checked the usual M151 vendors. I presume that is what they are...

    Cadmium plating question

    Like tcody, I have a few cup full of parts such as OE bolts & Douglas connector parts that I would like to have re-plated as well. I looked at the Caswell site and that is a neat system but I didn't plan on investing so much into a one-time, small quantity job. Anyone got anything else?

    HMMWV First aid kit

    Photo? I drove and ridden in many a HMMWV and don't remember a bracket for them. There was a bracket for the fire extinguisher that attached to the base of the driver's seat but I don't remember anything for the 1st aid kit. We just shoved them under the seat or where ever they weren't in the...

    need batteries

    I have an old table that lists the civilian group size as 22NF for the batteries. A lot of people replace the battery cables using welding cable. I think I used a 7 foot length from the battery to the starter on mine.

    New to the m37

    That one is one of the M151 kits. I think you can find them (the M151 kits) cheaper than this ebay auction.

    Manual for Genset with Light tower

    Dataplates Info Any dataplates on the trailer? Usually the military sets will have several dataplates, one that tells you what manual supports the set as well as a nomenclature (like M125 or whatever) and description. With this info, you can maybe find it on the Army ETM site...

    1951 M37

    Hey, looks good. Duallies too. Any history on it like when the dually was added (military or civilian)? Are you going to do a military restoration or just a civilian upgrade? Have you been over to G741.org and put it in the registry? Got more photos? Good luck with it.

    Looking for a copy of TM-9-2350-275-BD

    DIS Codes Yep, unless the DIS code is A, you have to have special access or clearance to download the pubs. If the code is A, anyone can download or open. If someone hasn't already posted them in the resources section, you aren't likely to see them in anything but paper.

    pics of the ( new to me) m37

    Congratulations. Looks better than your description in the other post. Is it all there-troops seats and all? Good price; less than what I paid for mine. Have you had a chance to put it in the M37 registry? If not, check it out over at the G741.org site and say hi. Many of us over there...
