    Rock Island, IL to Raleigh, NC or Aberdeen, MD

    Auction is over... Missed opportunity (and some of the stuff would have looked good in your MKT as well...). :(

    Installing convoy light on M35A2

    I'd have to go outside and look at the kit mounted to my M35A2C to see how high the lights should be. There are actually a couple of standard pin locations for adjusting the altitude of the lights, one position for non-use "storage", another for when in use on a 2.5 ton truck and one for when...

    M35a2c's at Camp Lejune trucks

    Do a search as gear/transmission oil has been covered in great detail before, but: if you use a GL5 make sure that it is also rated MT-1. Or, use a GL1 which is what it was originally specified to use... Pretty tanker Bruce...

    M51 dump gasser for sale in VA - $1000

    I've got a place nearby for Brandon to work upon it (the familly farm), and a guy who can haul it there for him... I also told him that if he didn't get it, I would... I forgot to tell Brandon yesterday that I have a spare top/bow/troopseat set for it... :)

    Any photo's of an M51 with rear cargo cover fitted?

    Bruce, I was parked in the next row over and spent the entire weekend drooling over it... Of course I took a few. :) I just wish that I had taken more... Current plans are to drive my M817 up to Aberdeen this year, with the top and troop seats in place. If you bring your M929, we...

    Any photo's of an M51 with rear cargo cover fitted?

    Not a M51, but I did take a few photos of Bruce's 900 series tipper with the fitted cover back when he had it at Aberdeen (2004). One of these days I'll take photos of the fitted cover mounted on my M817 (most likely when I put it on for the 2008 East Coast Convoy...). Anyway, a teaser photo...

    Berg Tire Ebay

    I've purchased a bunch of tires from Berg. Always got a great price and really nice (new) tires. Of course, it helps that Berg is only a 45 minute drive from the house and that they pull the tires from stock when I get there... I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.

    Hay where can I get the OD paint for my m37 rebuild?

    My source of Gillespie paint is RAPCO in Texas. Mark puts cases of paint on pallets and ships to me by truck freight. Total shipping cost by truck to my office is less than the UPS Hazmat charges would be... I'll be placing an order soon in case anyone wants to go in on a group purchase...

    What are these things?

    Re: RE: Re: RE: What are these things? I actually used to own a car that required blinker fluid... It was a '51 Mercedes 170S that had semaphore turn signals located between the front and rear doors that flipped up and lit up when you wanted to signal a turn and then dropped back down into a...

    Wreckerman's rolling mess hall

    RE: Wreckerman Great score. I really love mine (MKT85). The three jerry can holders are to hold the cans for the fuel to run the burners inside. Old style used gas, upgraded units have MBU's (burn JP8). Incidently, the only thing missing from mine was the MBU100's, so I am in the...

    Military Vehicle Clubs?

    Mike's got a good point... :) My local group is no longer listed on the MVPA website. We allowed our affiliation to drop last year for a bunch of reasons (biggest one was that we couldn't figure out how they were helping our local group and thus couldn't justify the effort to remain an...

    Rock Island, IL to Raleigh, NC or Aberdeen, MD

    Guys, I'm looking at a pallet or two of stuff at Rock Island and was wondering if somebody is nearby that could help expedite getting them shipped down to me in Raleigh, or who could assist in getting them relayed to me at the Aberdeen Rally in May... Thanks,
