We called them the "coal burners" because of the black trail of smoke they made. I was in crash crew, we had this one that had crashed, they asked us to cut the wing so they could move it. We went though so many K12 saw blades, we gave up on it. They had to move the wing whole. It was like...

I bought a genset off a guy here on the forum who was having a rough go at it a couple of years ago. The genset is for 28 volts, every one I have talked to says it is for radio sets or for slaving off 24 volt trucks. Is this true? One of the few, Frank USMC RET PS, I bought the set for $200. I...

Steve, is 100% dead on. Look at the hull. My friend who was in charge of 8th Motors at Camp Lejeune in the 1950s told me that he always had two FULL TIME welders just taking care of the hulls on the DUKWs they had. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Yes, get out the check book. But, you will never find a military vehicle that is that fun to drive!! I never got the chance to drive on on the water, but on the highway, it was a BLAST!! One of the few, Frank USMC RET PS, In the 1950s and 1960s when they were "commom". They would be bought just...

Back in the 1980s and up into the 1990s, you could go into a surplus yard and there would be stacks of cargo beds from M35s and 5 tons. The price of scrap in the last several years sent many of these beds to China. The late Jack Tomlin back in the late 1980s, took all the M35 beds he had, placed...

To those who have never owned a halftrack, you are looking at the "hens tooth" of halftracks. I have only seen one in books. Most or just about every one went to the USSR during WWII. You are the man! Watson. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

One of my co workers is now "sweating" the inquirys. He bought an antique car and the title does not match. He bought the car years ago and now, he wants to title it, they are saying "no". As for your statement on badgering people over BS tiltes, it was because of low lifes breaking the laws...

I had the North Carolina State police ask me about a truck I owned years ago that was titled by a titling company. They said they were cracking down on title companies that issue titles to just any one who sends them money. I was the 3rd owner of the truck, the first owner had titled it, they...

I have been collecting military vehicles for about 30 years and have seen alot of the jeeps converted from 24 volt to 12 volt. Here are the two big reasons. 1. Price, if you can find a Sears jeep catalog from the 1970s (sears carried EVERY thing for the jeep back then) Look at the price of a 24...

It is the one military vehicle I use around here for just moving stuff around. The great thing about the mule is that it can be moved to a location on a small trailer. At a show, you can ride around now to get your parts, at the airshow, just jump on it to go to the Porta John. You will find...

I work at a rebuild facility that mainly rebuilds Marine aircraft. Last year we got in several CH53s from there. They were in sadd shape and had to go though complete rebuilds. The shops did a great job and they were done ahead of time. They looked very sad when they got here. One of the few...
