    Disabled SS Veterans

    The Owner of White Owl parts company told me that his Dad would also make log skidders out of DUKWs. He said they would cut the bodies off and cut the frames. They had lots of DUKWs back then. Also, years ago, I wrote a story For the MVPA about a farm I went to and in the woods were the remains...

    OK, another heater question

    Mark, I am glad you found the data plate/mounting plate. That kit was the only one I had that was still sealed up, I did not think any thing was missing. On the mounting bracket, if you could send me the bracket, or draw it with the measurements, I could take it to work and have another one...

    OK, another heater question

    Red Devils dude Every heater kit I have seen mounted in a M35A2 has been on the inner inside fender. Now, this was about 10 trucks I looked at and they were all multifuel. Do you have a photo of how one is mounted on the frame? Also, the trucks I looked at were all USMC trucks, so it could be...

    OK, another heater question

    Mark Keep looking for the HI-OFF-LOW plate. If you do not find it, I will get you the one off my truck. The kit did not come with the bracket that mounts the heater to the fender. That is one of the wierd things about this kit. Some one on this forum printed some thing about some one who makes...

    M101 finally gets the attention ....

    Trailer looks great. But....are the bows shorter or is the canvas (plastic) now cut longer? I had NOS canvas on my M101 and it did not hang down that far. It was almost even with the bed. One of the few, Frank

    Dead Deuce

    The trucks that I looked at this summer had the engines and transmissions removed before going out to the ranges. The range I was at is near the ocean so this could have been the reason. I did get to see a very nice 5 ton that was just out of rebuild that was waiting to become a target. Sad part...
