I will check my M105 trailer (chicken coop) to see if it has the pins on it. I will look at it tomorrow. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

PM me with what you are looking for. He will cut me a deal on parts as I have helped him out several times and he has not forgotten about it. I have not forgotten that you helped me ID some parts, so if he has the parts, what ever he asks, that is what I will pass to you. Thanks again for your...

I bought 10 in the 90s, kept one (made it into a chicken coop for the "girls"), the rest I sold to a dealer who scrapped them. My friend who buys some of them down here bids as if he is buying the tires to resell. Sad thing about the M105, it is very heavy and there is just not a lot demand for...

Ken Welcome aboard!!! I called my friend tonight who was with 2/12 in the early 80s. Had him go into his photo albums. He had a few pictures of some trucks, but from what he told me of the markings I already knew. During that time the Marines had a wierd unit marking system, I was always into...

Stupid quiston. The form you fill out for the SF97. Is there a time limit? One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I would go with yellow or white. Yellow is the color we paint our trucks on the flight line for safty, you see them a mile away. White, you could have magnetic signs made up with black UN on them. This way if the anti loggers come in to the woods you could tell them you are with the UN doing a...

Michael The guy has his own towing company. The rate is great because Camp Lejeune is about a 40 minute ride from me. I have given his contact to other members here who needed some thing removed from Camp Lejeune. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

RE: Stage I am also in, and have already been doing it for some members. Now, I have been collecting millitary trucks for over 25 years, there is one down side. "TIME". I hate to bring this up, but how long do you hold something? I know of one guy who sold a truck, the guy paid for it, never...

The wreaker that is going for high bids, is it the one here in North Carolina? That is a nice wreaker!! If you do not have the $$ for a nice wreaker there was one here on GL a couple of weeks ago that went for around $6500. It was half the truck that one is. Garbee has told me about that...

Correct me if I am wrong, but around 1990 or 1991, a guy in Cal. shot and killed a guy spraying graffiti on a road barrier. The guy came at him after he told them to stop. He shot and killed one of them because he thought the guy was going to attack him. The story was in Stars and Stripes...

Nice 4 door command vehicle. You did good. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

I spent 16 of my 20 years in the Marines as a firefighter. If I knew how to post photos, I have two WWII Marine crash trucks in my collection here. Note, look at the second photo posted, notice any thing ..funny... There is no glass on the drivers side on all the fire trucks. Must be a way of...

Skipper You need orders to MCAS Cherry Point! If you ever fly in, drop me a line. I have about 15 military vehicles here to play with, 1941 Dodge WC-1 up to a 1972 M530C (M35 crash truck). The guy you are buying the M1009 off of is a friend of mine, I have never seen him, but I have been...

Otis536 PM me your e-mail address, I told the last tire kicker who said I will take it, that I would go $3500 on it, so that is the new price. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

When we were turning our CUCVs in back in the 90s, they ran a story about them in our base newspaper. All our CUCVs were going to the State of Georgia for law inforcement. They had a photo of a couple on a trailer. I was always shocked about "why Georgia would want CUCVs from a Marine base in...

Ken I am sorry also for dropping off here for awhile. The bride and I moved this year, the good news is, our old house sold in 30 days....the bad news is our old house sold in 30 days. Ever try to move a vehicle collection that has had a home for 20 years to a new place? The bad part is, I did...

Has any one or can I use "Turbine Oil" (made by Royco) in the M35A2? It is also called "Lubricating oil helicopter transmission". Also, what should I mix it to with the diesel? One of the few, Frank USMC RET.
