Go with a bonded title. I have posted this before, here in North Carolina, they are cracking down on title companies. Maybe that is why they are charging you so much, they can see the writing on the wall and are trying to make as much money as they can before they are shut down. That would be...

On my base, MCAS Cherry Point, NC, there are a couple of jeep M416 trailers still in use, and, drum roll, we still use every day about 20 WWII navy Mark II bombtrailers. I got 2 beautifull WWII trailers off GL a couple of years ago from the air force base in Goldsboro NC. Stuff is still out...

I have photos here sent to me by a friend in the Army back in 1990 that shows a lot (it could be this same one) in Germany. The lot is full of rebuilt M16 halftracks that have been returned to us by the French, there were also M5 highspeed tractors. They were all being sent down range to be...

Insurance is not bad at all on the trucks. I am putting a reese hitch on mine that I got off an Air force truck that had one rigged up on it. You are more than welcome to make a run for the coast and copy it. No, on the douple clutch, that would have been on the WWII 6x6 (the CCKW). One of the...

I have several hummer parts laying around here, to include the manuals. I think I can help you on some stuff. I am in North Carolina. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

The Bride and I made our Christams photo today in front of the 1944 WC-54 ambulance. Every year for the past 14 years we have made our Christmas card photos in front of one of the trucks in the collection. Deuceman, you are on the right track for a great family tridition. One of the few, Frank...

I would also go with the Bonded route. Here in North Carolina, they are cracking down on the title companies. I would hate to buy a truck, then buy the title, and year down the road your state show up and tell you the title is no good, or you sell to some one and they come back at you for giving...

Crackerjax If you make a run to the coast (Morehead City area) I have some light parts that were in a trailer I got. It is some light shields and some other stuff. You can have them. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

You are correct, that was a typo by me on saying MB, instead of MA. The MA did have the fender mounted lights. I should not do any typing till at least 10 days after the Marine birthday to give the drinks time to wear off. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Yes, the grill is a ford design, and was copied twice. The first time was on the first MBs, when they moved the headlights from the finders to the grill area (Like the Ford GP), the second time was when Willys copied the Ford stamped grill. Do I get an "A"? One of the few, Frank USMC RET

That you are 100% correct on.......ok, I am tired, I will let you pass with a "C". Good night. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

You score an F on your history test......sorry. The Jeep was invented at the Bamtam car company in Butler, Pennsylvania (your state), not by the Willys car company. One of the few, Frank USMC RET PS, sorry for the short answer, but it has been a long day and I am heading for bed. I could talk...

Blind??? Lets test your eyes. Click on USMC B'DAY PICTURES go to photo #8, do you see a M2 machine gun? One of the few, Frank USMC RET

As far asI know there was no engine change, or mods to the suspendsion. I did have some photos of them, they they were lost during one of the hurricanes that hit us here. One more note that I remember about them, Tires. I saw them with at least 3 different tires. I have seen them with the jeep...

Southdave The jeeps you are talking about, we called them "super jeeps". The ones the Marines had were all just hand built by the Marines, no billion dallar contract to make them, just Marines. The ones I saw, all had lead pipe for the roll bars, again, no billion dallar contract. The ones again...

Try Hotshot Transportation out of Jacksonville, NC.....or the home of Camp Leujune. They have some posts on the Transportaion Needs in the forums. They moved my M2 halftrack, and I was "cutting flips" happy with them. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

On the Life Presurvers, you put it on your kid upside down, tie the straps wrong, or around the kids neck, he gets hurt, you and your lawer team sue the goverment. Easier for them just to destroy them......sad. I will bet you a cold one that is why the ATVs were destroyed. One of the few, Frank...
