Mike I just reread your post, yes, it was a M56 chassie, but once the crash truck body was put on it, it became a MB2. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

That truck is a Navy/Marine MB2 crash truck. They are very rare. I have only seen one in my life and it was at White Owl parts company back in the early 1980s. It was just a stripped out body, they ended up crushing it. On the one in the photos, it is missing it's doors, and it is missing the...

If you are going back with the Dodge 230 flat head, let me know. I bought one, rebuilt from White Owl parts company back in the earlt 90s. I got the last one they had from when they brought in a truck load of rebuilds from France. Long story kinda short, I never did any thing with it. It is...

The shots you took of the yard area. Now, picture that with WWII vehicles, thats how it was about 20 years ago. Can not brag enough about the guys at White Owl, just great guys. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Looks rode very hard. Mismatched parts under the hood can get $$$ very fast. I would wait for a better one. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Don On my WC the vehicle number is stamped on the frame on the drivers side. In the photos you posted, I would say it is under all that metal for the plow. That will make you a great farm truck. One of the few. Frank USMC RET

I would also call that a parts truck. I have owned alot of M37s, in that shape it is a money pit. Save your money and find one more complete. The last one I bought I got off this forum, it is the nicest M37 I have ever owned. Look for one that is more complete, and running. They are out there, I...

Just up the road from you in Newport, NC (Morehead city), ever up this way stop by, the collection goes from a WWII halftrack to a WWII motorcycle. You can also talk me out of one of my M35A2s. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I have one for parts here, also in NC, that would be good for parts at $250. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Never seen them mounted on the out side of the trailer, but have seen them on the inside. I had a M101 that had them mounted on top of the fender wells inside the trailer. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Good luck, last year I started downsizing my collection, I think I had around 15, did good for awhile. This year, I have bought 3 military trucks, 1 military motorcycle, and 1 jeep, fell off the wagon....... One of the few, Frank USMC RET

You are very lucky Joe, around 1995 that happened with a 5 ton at Camp Lejeune, but the young Marine was killed. His co-driver was injured. Reading the story it sounded like the 5 ton did not have a windshield assembly on it and, this part I remember, it was being driven to DRMO for turn in. One...

Mike Sounds like we might have passed each other in our childhood. On the location, after I went into the Marines, I never went back except for a few times, and then I was shocked at how much had changed. Like the area at the end of Leesburg highway, it was just a two lane road. One of the few...

I can save you the trip. While I was in high school, the area the junk yard was at in was made into a big strip mall. The only good news is, that as a kid, every time I would pass the junk yard I would try to get my Dad to buy one of the halftracks, well that never happened. But today in my...

Are you planning on driving it under water? It will be very $$$$ to convert it back, I will bet you a beer, just as much as you will pay for the jeep itself. If you plan on useing it in parades and just driving it, leave it 12 volts. If you want it back 100%, change it to 24 volts. If it was...

Fort Jackson had a M15 back in the 1970s. It was at that time in very good shape. It came from vehicles we had given to Japan after the war to help her build up there military. If we had not given them to Japan, then they would had ended up as targets on a range somewhere. Nice photos. One of...

Wow, if only you had asked this about.....say, 40 years ago. I lived in Richland county down the road from Sumter, on Leesburg highway. At the end of Leesberg highway, where it hit I-26 was a big junk yard. Out front were two halftracks (complete) and some DUKWs. I never went into the junk yard...

On the jerry can for our 43 jeep, I have it stenciled "CHEAP WINE". It gets a few laughs at the air shows. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I am about 45 minutes from Camp Lejeune. I can try to get some photos this week end, but if you are in North Carolina, this week end is going to be a wet one, so I will try. One of the few, FRank USMC RET

Welcome from an old 03 grunt. Down the road from you in Newport, NC. I will be putting my M35A2 up for sell ($3200) but it is not bobbed, but does have a winch, heater, and hardtop. Stop by when you make a run to the beach. One of the few, Frank USMC RET
