Our local rent-all place will work a pretty sweet deal for a weekend. Maybe yours will as well. This would give more time so as not to be rushed. Please be aware sandblasting is NOT operator friendly. A sealed, pressurized helmet/mask is really the only way to make sure the dust from the...

Matt, sorry for the delay-had a small construction project on the place that could not wait-. Here are some pics. Still thinking about what price to ask but be assured it won't be any where near $20,000 LOL! Jim

Matt, I have a Guiberson Diesel Radial here at the place. I obtained this from a scrap iron dealer that told me it came from an estate he was hired to clean up after the old fella had passed away. This estate was of a retired WWII pilot that after the war bought a bunch of surplus for his...

Thanks for verifying what I thought I'd remembered. PM sent, Jim

Congrats Matt!! I was watching the progress of the sale over on the G. Very cool that you ended up with one. Would you happen to know if the LVT was powered by the Guiberson Diesel radial engine? Jim

Looks like the Starpoint crew did a fantastic job! Nice to know we have a company like this helping the hobby with this hard (impossible) to find service! AND by a company from the same neighborhood as B.F. Goodrich, one of the MAJOR suppliers of rubber products for the war effort! AND just...

WOW, that is about the nicest DUKW I can recall seeing. Looks to be complete. Good score thanks for saving her! Jim

Yes, very sad event. Condolences to all effected by this tragedy! Granted, by the pictures one can see the duck has a pretty bad blind spot up front, but so does the log truck I drive for a living and the dump truck sitting in my yard. Does that mean we need to have a big study to set...

Good morning all. I may be trading for a bed from a 1078. Looks by the photos to be very nice, no rust etc. 3 color camo. Just wondering how much something like this would be worth as I don't have a need for it (I think ;)). Thanks, Jim

Pete, Lookin' good sir! Glad you were able to show it off. I noticed my Ward has lots of slop in the steering--after looking it over I find the steer box is loose from the frame. Still a lot of grease hiding the details-hopefully the mounting bolts are just loose. It does seem to take a lot...

Ok! We are getting the system figured out. Yeah-all that hydraulic stuff is just icky and in the way, probably gonna get oily dirty with the passage of time too, so if you just send it to my address I'll be sure to dispose of it properly for ya (no charge of course) :-D! All kidding...

Love this site!!! Thanks folks--info is exactly what I needed! Maybe we could get an emoticon showing a long dead person (skeleton) sitting woefully in front of computer with the caption "YES, I have searched". Jim

OK folks, Go ahead---flame on if you must, but I just need a simple answer to a simple question: What is the exact (not just a WAG) weight of a 11:00/20 NDCC tire mounted on a 10 hole (5ton) wheel. 95% to 100% tread. Yes--have searched--google, ask , here on Steel Soldiers, etc. All sorts...

Hello again, Just replied to your other post, YES, I have one of these --just not near as nice as yours! LOL! I also have two British Jerry cans dated 1943 , with VM (Vauxhall Motors) as the manufacturer, to put on it when it eventually gets on the road and in the shows! Also have a 1944...

Hello Pete! Welcome from Salmon River Country in central Idaho. WOW, nice Ward! Nice to see one so complete and very good condition. I hope you won't mind, but I'll be having lots of questions for you on the wrecker, as I have one of these beasts here in my yard!! Mine is fairly...

UH-OH! Brilliant minds think alike! That seems how I start my projects--start with some small, single part and commence to collecting the rest a piece at a time. LOL!. Seems like Eastern Block Armor is cheap on the other side of the drink, but I've read a lot of horror stories about people...

My favorite tank. Yep, one would never guess you'd find a set of heads for that beast in a scrap yard in the US. I would vote you put them away. As rare as these are seems a shame to use them for a table. Someone, somewhere will need them. Just a matter of if you have a place to store them...

Hello!!! Welcome from-----------Lake Fork!! Good to see a local on here. We ought to get together--stop by sometime. I'm sure you've seen the place-- Mp138-- the place with all the "treasures". Jim

On the way back up from Boise one night a week ago, we came across a wreck that had just happened moments before. South bound Toy Tacoma had a violent and deadly (for the elk-people OK)encounter with a big cow elk. Saw the flashing lights in plenty enough time to slow up and REALLY get all eyes...

I too have wondered what color the engine is supposed to be on my Continental 331. It is blue in my truck and my comfortable little theory of WHY it is blue just got blown out of the water-----------. I assumed (yep--I know, I know) that my engine maybe ended up blue from being rebuilt during...
