This isn't the first T34 (or tank for that matter) that the Russians have recovered from a swamp/ lake etc. I'm beging to think that inland water ways were a popular spot to park their AFVs. Actually, they were a popular way of disposing of AFVs. There is a UK site, "the Virtual WW II...

Ok fellows this is what I think he's trying to sell (remember it's just my 2cents here). It's either a pair of comander's turret hatch assembies from a late war sherman (this was a single peice hatch with vision blocks around it's base). These were also used for the commander's position on M75...

Scam letters :shock: :?: Next you'll tell me that's not a picture of you in your avatar! :lol: Matt

Frank's surplus is another good one (I forgot about him). You may also want to try Front Line Military Vehicles they're out of PA and their website is: www.FLMV.net I've also used Army Jeep Parts (also from PA) but they were kind of expensive...

Bruce When I restored my '67 M151A1 I used a number of companies (which I've listed below) that provided excl. service. I think it may have been TNJ Murray that had the NOS trannys. I know they had NOS engines for them. If this is your first M151 than you're in for a...

MD308 I too would be interested if they were closer. But, they're on the other side of the country. Matt

Hello I can't answer your question about who owns those MVs but I can tell you that the guy with the armor museum out on long Island relocated to Danville,VA and opened up a huge museum down there. Worth a look and w/o all the hassle of APG...

Guys Thanks for all the replies to my inquiry. There's some good advice given in regard to wearing hearing protection while operating one of these beasts. Armyman30yearsplus, You changed your avatar? I didn't recongnise you, at first :wink: ...

Welcome to the wonderful world of antique military vehicles :? :wink: Regards, Matt

DJs (hey, it's easier than "Deuce Jockys") Thanks for all your replies and insites on this topic. I've only riden in two M35s (both MadDawg308's trucks) and both trucks had soft tops on 'em. On one occation, we took all the canvas off of the one rig and...

Hey! who stole my thread??!! :shock: I knew I should have locked it! :) Actually, Your above post was something I was going to post over in the 5 ton section. I guess deep down inside, I'm still comparing the two trucks. BTW, thanks for your imput...

Deuce jockys, I was wondering about this, and thought "there's no better group to ask" so here it is: Does the hard top on an M35 really reduce the noise inside the cab all that much compared to a soft top? how about the insulated soft tops...

Wilco That paint job looks great! It also looks like you "singled' out your rear wheels? I like the M35 in that configuration 8) Thanks for posting those pictures...

Commando-72 Your restoration is really comming along. You are an insparation to the rest of us keep up the great work! As for the transfer case, from what I've read (here and other sites) it was a design unique to the V100 armored...

Yes I'd have to agree with you fellows about this. Nattieleather the fellow I was refuring to lives in Texas. He's a good guy all in all, he just has some strange ideas. Matt

Hey everybody! A fellow I converse with, on another MV site claims to have been a motorpool mechanic on mutts in the USMC. I have no reason to doubt him although some stuff he's told me doesn't exactly jive with what I know about the military (my own time in...

VincenT Thanks for posting those images. I was kind of curious myself about the size differance between the Pinz and the FC Landrovers...

Ida34 That's exactly what I did. I think that between the two of them, you've got your replacement body panel needs covered. Matt

Ida34 I have used both Mac's militria and jeeppanels plus. when I restored my M151A1. My personal opinion here, I like Mac's. His product was better made (he also offers larger selection of body panels then JPP) and his service was exl. as well. Mac's...

Guys I don't want to hijack Ida34's thread. Maybe this could be the topic of a new thread? a "how does the car show crowd view your MV?" thread. Ida34 I'm glad that you had such a positive response to your MV at the car show. It's always...
