Well, I went and did it again. Bid on and won 4 really sweet looking and running M35A2s at Chambersburg today! The bidding went a little higher than I expected, and more than a lot of the deuces there, but I inspected these and these were the cream of the crop this time around. All run like...

There is a offroad park near me that has a small, but deep, mud bog pit where no 4x4 has EVER gotten through it without a tow. First truck to do it gets $100 cash. The pit has medium-thick mud and two submerged humps of hardened dirt at the bottom. The combination of the mud and the bumps...

I have a very slow current drain in the deuce, when the entire truck is shut down and everything is turned off, the batteries will slowly be drained by an unknown source (come back in two days and the batteries are dead). The batteries are new, and the alternator seems to work fine when the...

I need a few parts to complete a deuce on this end, get it all functional. I have the air horn, the solenoid body, but I need the plunger inside the solenoid, the spring that goes to that, and the fittings needed to attach the solenoid to the air line and the air horn itself. Anyone have a...

I'm a dummy. I don't weld. Is there anybody within a couple hours of me that might be willing to take a few hours out of their time to show me how to do sheet metal spot welding, and some basic structural welding (i.e. angle iron, bar stock, etc)? Would be willing to travel a couple hours...

I am working with another collector, interested in the possibility of importing armor into the United States from Europe. This would be non-USA armor, stuff like Ferrets, FV432s, Chieftains, etc. We really have no expertise here, just interest if we can get some interesting pieces for...

I have a guy near me that wants a longbed deuce, but needs the fold-down sides for his construction business. That would make it a M36A2C. Do they exist? Haven't seen any on GL, EVER.

Anyone ever use a Wagner Power Sprayer HVLP gun for spraying paint on a car/truck? Just curious, they're having a sale near me on them, wonder if anyone has ever used a house paint spray gun on a vehicle with good results.

Saw a couple pics of US military trailers with what looked like a big rubber band around the wheels on the dual rear axles. Looked like generator trailers, which normally would be 1 axle, 4 tires, but this was two axles, 8 tires, with the track going around them. Is this something new for soft...

I will be going back to Coleman's Surplus on Friday December 7th (tentatively) in order to scrounge more stuff. Anyone need anything in particular? So far, I have to pick up/look for the following items: citizensoldier wants boarding ladders TacticalTruck needs a boarding ladder too nickd...

I know this isn't really MV related, but perhaps someone can save these before the torchman gets them. One is a CJ-5, can give parts toward a M38A1. The other two are flat fender Jeep pickups. $350 for all. Not mine, just want to save them...

There is a M-38 (not A1) for sale near me I am toying with the idea of picking up. What are the specs of the jeep, mechanically? Type of tranny, type of axles, gearing, HP, etc. Thanks. i am trying to determine whether this thing is original or a bitsa (bitsa this, bitsa that).

Makes me sad, this was a nice one. Hope my keeper I get early next year is this nice. Ran like a top, made it pretty too. But it was off to a new home, someone who will use it and was thrilled to have one this nice. A couple pics of the truck...

Okay, here's the deal. Buddy of mine south of here is looking to buy a Unimog. Here's the specifics of what he is looking for: MUST BE: diesel capable of near-highway speeds $8,000 or less good title decent mechanical condition Want to be: good body, but he realizes that for under $8K...

Anyone know if there is a company that rebuilds the M274 mule engines? I have seen new 2A032 engines go for $650 rebuilt in crate from Saturn, but not sure if the genset engine is the same as the mule engine, despite the 2A032 nomenclature similarity. Reason I am asking is I found a source of...

I shoulda bought one of these when I had the chance - even though I don't have an M37, I might in the future. And used copies are selling for $135???? Are they nuts? I know it's probably a great text, but that's WAY more cash than I am willing to pay for a used book. Any idea if this will be...

Finally got a trailer hitch for my daily ride, a Durango. Once installed tomorrow, plan to pick up my orphan M103 chassis trailer from its current ditch 40 miles from here, and tow back for an unknown camper/genset trailer project here. Price was right, $75 no title. Needed a lot of sanding...

Saw this on eGay - anyone out there into mil radio that could use a self-erecting 117-foot antenna tower? http://cgi.ebay.com/Radio-Antenna-Tower-Ham-Cell-FM-AB1309-Military-Trailer_W0QQitemZ260176302079QQihZ016QQcategoryZ4672QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Was over at ShieldWolf's place on Sunday, he finally got his M37 running, and running well (a little tick in a valve, but hey, it's 56 years old!). Found out that his M37 was one of the first off the line, production began in Jan 1951, and his is dated the end of Jan 1951. Sweet! He found...

Am thinking about a project deuce for the winter - might involve a pipeline deuce headache rack. Couple questions about that major part: 1. What is the physical size of the rack, in length x width x height ? 2. Can this be mounted in the bed, rather than directly on the frame? 3. Is there a...
