RE: Those elusive US Marine Corps Tech Manuals...... Ken Did not make it to the barn last saturday......the bride had other plans for me. Will try again tomorrow. Oh, the Bride is 50% British and she is a red head..... One of the few, Frank

I would say that the trailer is one that is an off the shelf purchase by the Navy for the Seabees. We just had one like it sell here at the DRMO at MCAS Cherry Point. I did not look at it, but it had those types of wheels on it. I was looking at an older one that was like it, but had wheels like...

"better known as a half a tent" .....we called them shelter halfs. One of my DIs called them "low income housing" One of the few, Frank

I spent hours on a WWII dodge windshield trying to get the gasket to back on. I gave up! I had spent over 2 hours fighting that gasket......and lost. I decided, before I messed the gasket up, to just bite the bullit and take it to a glass shop. The glass shop useing the CORRET tools had the...

Bob, I wish you were closer to North Carolina, I would be handing you cash.....say, the Marines are building back up again, and they are still looking for a few good men...you could drive it down to me. You still fit in your blues don't you? One of the few, Frank

Wow! I have some new old stock carburetors for that truck. Put one on and drive it home! One of the few, Frank

RE: Re: RE: Elusive US Marine Corps Tech Manuals......painti Ken I will check this week end. Not teasing you, but....I might have two of the manuals. I will have to check in my barn. I lost allot of manuals and stuff in one of the hurricanes that hit us. For some reason, I am thinking the Motor...

True story about combat rims and our"Greatest Generation". About 15 years ago, I picked up a nice 1943 Ford GPW Jeep. It came with the wrong tires and rims. I had some WWII jeep combat rims to put on it, but they were not in the best of shape. They were rusted out around the valve stem area...

RE: Elusive US Marine Corps Tech Manuals......painting & I might have one of the manuals you need. If I do, Wow, there is no way I can copy it. It is HUGE! It is about 24 inches by about 60 inches. It was at our Motor T shop back in the mid 90s, they were throwing it out and the Motor T officer...

Just great!! The only problem I had was, I also used the tubes that were in the crates, they did not last long(as in did not even hold air!). When Carbee comes down in a couple of weeks, I will get him to snap a few photos showing the dates. Tonight I will post a funny story about the combat...

All the tires on my WWII Ford jeep are dated 1965, they are 600:16s. The tires were made for the Marine Mighty Mite. I found them at a Vol. Fire Dept. They were an update kit for the Mighty Mite jeep. The kit was a spare tire holder. It also had a spare tire. I purchased all 5 kits, just for the...

RE: Me too! The jeep cpould have gone through a rebuild and got an early body. There was a guy here that had stacks of M38A1 bodies and a warehouse of parts. If you wanted a M38A1, you would leave a deposit and return when he contacted you. You would have a new M38A1 jeep built from NOS and...

In the first two photos, I wonder how long the canvas tops lasted after the rocket was fired? One of the few, Frank

This could be in the wrong place, sorry. While cleaning out my barn, I found 3 fuel pump repair kits for the G260, what is a G260? The kits are dated 1958, and they are packaged in round cardboard tubes. Thanks. One of the few, Frank

If you make a run to the beach area of NC (Morehead City), there is a guy here that just pulled a gas motor out of his duece. I am sure I could get it for you some where around "Free, to a good home". One of the few, Frank

David Thanks! I just went and dug out my parts book for my International M-2-4. The carb for it is the Zenith 63AW11, I "hope" the carbs I have are for the M3-4.(have two of them) One of the few, Frank

Well, I went to my friends house who had the 5 ton carburetors. They are not 5 ton carburetors. Some of the boxes had 1950s dates on them, and one had a slip of paper in it dated 1948. Ok, so I was let down, but I still went ahead and got the carburetors, as they are brand new. I have opened all...

I should have written that it is for the fuel tank, not the motor. One of the few, Frank
