OK, I started it: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120055-Sledding-in-the-snow-what-s-your-story&p=1502904#post1502904

Yeah, I think if you paint your Cav insignia on there, it would be like your signature - it will be yours and only yours (and your Dad's, of course). It will look good - and will have a story behind it. I'm like Al and his M998s - I have a dual 12v accessory plug run straight from my 2nd...

Yeah, go for it! I wish I had video, but I don't think I am going to make it out in the stuff today to make one.

Just kidding about the hood - so far I haven't even managed to get off the couch, so I doubt the Jeep will be out playing in it today! Wes has a form for you to fill out - he should have sent it when you applied for an account on willysmjeeps. If not, you can download it in the Downloads section...

Oh come on - you didn't ride on a car hood in the snow back in the day? I thought every kid in the world had done that! You live in VA - I know you did. Or maybe an old coca cola dish type sign (which are worth a fortune now). We would tie an old '40s truck hood to the back of the Jeep and pull...

This will be my last "Wes" quote on the subject, as I think it pretty much sums it up:

A quick search on willysmjeeps site revealed Wes's comment about USMC jeeps backing up what I said in an earlier post: Wes is a very knowledgeable historian/restorer (and the developer of the willysmjeeps website) of M38/M38a1 vehicles.

I looked at the Willysmjeeps database. Here is what I found: MD70989 with a delivery date of 01/54 MD73039 (unknown delivery date) MD74112(unknown delivery) MD79140(unknown delivery) MD81433 with delivery 02/55 I would say yours is probably between 09 and 11/54 delivery date. I'll keep...

They don't REALLY have "set" ranges, except in the '60s, if I remember correctly. I went through and read everything I could when I was looking for hood number information (my Jeep didn't have the original hood #s, and I was trying to figure out what to put on it). There is a lot of info on...

I went back and looked at your pics again. I see it doesn't have dash plates and didn't see a pic of the passenger wheelwell. What does the title say the serial# is? Maybe it will match your wheelwell plate, but could match the engine serial# as well. Is the front bumper stack or a bubba mod -...

I can't remember, did the Jeep have data plates? What about the plate behind the passenger seat - is it still there, under layers of paint? I'm going to go back and look at your pics again. Glad to see you are taking your time and looking for numbers. Have you tried looking for unit numbers on...

Yeah, I'm going to start one in a couple of weeks. Gather everything up and you can post at one time.

Check out www.deltateamdecals.com - he did the ones for my m38a1 and I am pleased with the products he sells. He also has great prices!

Belleville is near Louisville, KY - where the 2014 MVPA National Convention is going to be.

Nope, I was wrong - it is in Belleview, FL this weekend. You can make that one - it's near Ocala. Here's the ad: Florida, February 7 – 9, 2014: The Southern Outpost Military Vehicle Winter Rally and Swap Meet, sponsored by the First Florida Chapter, MVPA and the Market of Marion. Rally site...

Yeah, we still have 1 old time hardware store in town - worth a shot. Maybe I can find one with the correct length and tension if not a perfect match. I'm more really concerned with show quality on my Jeep. If I can't, I guess I will have to pay the big bucks (for shipping) for the dealers.

Oh, I must have been looking at a different one right before I left work. Belleville, Fla rings a bell. I'm not sure - maybe he will come in shortly, if not, I will look when I get back.

Louisville, KY, June 26-28. MVPA event

I did a little research on that number you gave me Al. As it turns out, that isn't a work order - it stands for Willys Overland. It is a Willys Overland part number. That part number correlates to the accelerator pedal return spring. I also found an image online of the pedal assembly from the...

I answered my own question. Ferro has Neils listed deuce listed on Jan 19th in the classifieds. He says it has school bus wheels and tubeless tires. I blew up the pic of the front tire - it is a 10r22.5, 6 hole wheel. Didn't know if you were looking for custom wheels or something that would work.
