Ok, tried the Search thingy, got no were fast. Could some one point me to the link that talks about serail numbers on the data plate of the M35A2. The one truck I am working on now is a Jeep Corportion one. On the data plate it is stamped serail number, there is some stampings, and some numbers...

Alot of stuff I see go to the scrap hoppers, for some reason the GL guys can not get. I was there last week and the guy was telling me about the new parts being scrapped. He also pointed out boxes of foam matts, he told me that over a 100 of them went to the trash hoppers, and he could not get...

I see every day, I really think some of you would be very shocked if you saw what was going to scrap. It is the easy way. Also, on that note, DRMO here at MCAS Cherry Point, and Camp Lejuene, has even started giving away funiture. Just about all the nice wall lockers, desks that were being...

Sorry, but the MPs do not arrest you for losing something. What I am worried about, is the DRMO getting rid of GL and going to just scrapping every thing. I have been buying surplus for over 35 plus years, so I am not new to this. I also work next to DRMO. I am seeing stuff that was sold years...

I have over 20 military vehicles, and over 120 guns, I would get rid of all of them to keep my wife. Life is great when you are married to your best friend. One of the few, Frank USMC Ret

Also, on that note, if you look at Fuel trucks, water trucks, or our beloved wreakers, you will notice the beds have stake pockets on them. This is so you can put the uprights, bows and canvas on these trucks. Why? because this way all the trucks in the convoy look the same, and the bad guys...

I just sold my 3 complete WWII Internationals to a good home. That truck was a parts truck at best. The Internationals are hard to find parts for, you will grow old looking for brake parts. Also, when the Internationals were surplused out, they were working trucks, twice the truck as the GMC...

Bob How about a Marine Corps desk talking? The desk I have in my office, that I am at right now, was bought by me years ago at DRMO for $35.00. You remember the desk, the BIG, oak one that you sat behind when you had the "duty" that night. When you got bored, you wrote your name, and the date...

I have also heard the M37 is a hard animal to tow. I used to tow my WC52 (the older brother of the M37) with a chevy one ton, one day I was turning at a traffic light and the WC52 went on it's merry way....dragging the one ton side ways. I have also towed a WC54 and it fought me also. So, your...

Boog I am down the road from you in Newport. I can help you on the M35. Trailboss, you are close, but the military vehicles are being sold at Camp Leujune, just down the road from MCAS Cherry Point, just under a hour drive. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Wow!!...this could have been me! I was still bidding on the truck that is being talked about, but when our contractor showed up to dig our pond I went outside with him. At that time I was still high bidder. When I got back in the house, the bidding had ended, I was out bid. I have some where...

Could he make a top that went from the wind shield to the top bow? Like the ones you see on jeeps, just to keep the sun off you. No sides or back. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I do not like cats, but the new farm came with.....yup, a cat. I like military trucks and have had a couple hundred in my 25 plus years of collecting military trucks. I have a lot of canvas stored in the barn. Mice love canvas, I do not like mice. A couple of days after we moved in, the cat...

I just took the complete mount off a M818, and it was mounted behind the cab on a pole. I do not know if the pole was the same one as the light kit one. I got the whole mount, but sadly could not get the radio mount. That will be gotten on the next trip. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

We still had the Mules in the Marines in 1982, I was in 2/4 and we had some. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I just sold a M35A1 that had those same hubs on it. I was told it was for lifting the truck. My truck was purchased here in North Carolina from GL. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

The shop at work next to ours is called the "strip barn", and that is all they do is strip aircraft paint off with stripper. They also use the plasic on the floor trick, great for clean up. This week we had 8 drums (55 gal) of unopened aircraft stripper turned into us for disposel. DRMO...

I would call John Winslow first about getting a alternator. There is no way the fire is Winslows fault, but since he sold you the truck he might give you a good deal on the alternator. I have never bought any thing from John, but I have never heard any one say a bad thing about him or his sells...

Joe I was wanting to bid sooooooo bad on your Marine 5 ton, but I do not do e-bay any more, so I thought it was sold. Now, that I just picked up a M816 wreaker last week, your truck is back on the market. Excuss me while I go into the shop and commit suicide with a tire iron.... One of the few...

I just talked to the site manager for Camp Leujune. The M35A3s were pulled to go to foreign sells. One of the few, Frank USMC RET
