Bow your heads.... May they rust in peace... One of the few, Frank

Bottleworks I see you are in NC. funny story for you on the vin numbers and NC. I went to tag a 1968 M715 with a very short vin number (like 7 or 6). The lady at the tag office would not give me tags because the state does not issue that short of vin number. I told her the truck was a United...

I called GSA about 2 weeks ago about the title on my M35A2 had the wrong date on it (they had it as a Reo DOD 1983). The lady who answered the phone was very nice and gave me all the information on how to return the title. I mailed them the old SF97 with a rubbing of the date that was on the...

dg I see were the aluminum ones sell for $20.00, so how about $20.00 (plus a little for shipping) for a brass one? These are NOS with nothing stamped into them. So, you would have to have your trucks infromation put on it, or just leave plank as a early 1950 M34 data plate to show your truck...

Hope this helps some one out. A couple of years ago I got a call from a guy who ended up with one of the hummers from the big Marine trade in. He was telling me about his hummer and some of the things he had to repair. One of the things he said was his hummer was used very rough by the Marines...

Wallew PM me your address, and I will dig up all the old articles I have on the trade of the hummers. The Bride and I are going on holiday on Tuesday so it may be a week or two before I can get it to you. Also, I keep useing the term "trade" because I think that was the loop hole the Marines...

Wallew I just called Clarks Truck and talked to there truck salesman....... all the hummers they had were from the big Marine sell (trade) I was talking about. They agreed with me there will not be any more. Look at the years the hummers are in the photos. Those are all the old first series...

I agree with M1075. The Hummers that I see here are rebuilt or cut up. The only big sell of hummers was back in the 1990s when the Marines found a loop hole and sold (traded) several hundred that were coming off the pre position ships. That was a one time deal and DOD closed that loop hole. The...

Forgot to add thhis is the Weight and Dimension data plate. One of the few, Frank

I just found a small supply (10) of data plates that I had for the M34. They are very early ones because there is no were to stamp a date on them and they are marked 1950.....did they make the m34 in 1950? they are 10 inches long and just over 2 inches wide. They are also made of brass not the...

Eddie, if desert rat and you have a something already worked out that is ok, as you are a long way from NC. But, if it falls though, could you let me know and I will try to see if I could find a fellow crash crewman to get the truck and save it as a M530. Thanks. One of the few. Frank

Eddie The truck you have is called a M530B in the military. If it had a small turret on it, she would be a M530C. That is what I drove alot while I was a young Marine. I loved that truck. When we were told to turn them in I was lucky. I was able to get several manauls and some gear. They had us...

Yes, the wheels were taken off and stacked in piles of 4. The tires are no good from the very few that I looked at. Are the rims different? if I go back this week what should I look for to tell if it is a M34 or a M135 rim? One of the few, Frank

That pile of "M35" in two of the photos is just cabs and beds. I will try to get back up there and get a picture of the bigger pile of frames and heavy metal off the M35s. One of the few, Frank

They also helped with your distance between trucks at night. If the lights looked like two different lights you were two close, they should look like one light from a safe distance. One of the few, Frank

Thanks guys. Some of you might have noticed for a new guy on the forum I was posting alot.......because I was home alot..bored. I have another Doctors appointment this morning. The Grandmothers insurance is NOT going to pay, because Grandmother has statements from famiy members (even if a family...

Last month Garbee posted for me that I knew of several M35s, M211s, and M135s that were to be cut up. I would have been able to get the take off parts very cheap. I am sorry to say the trucks have been cut up. I did not make it in time. On January 31st at 6pm a 17 year old girl with no drivers...

Yes, it is a great idea! Here at MCAS Cherry Point about a year ago GL had a rusted out 5 ton that was used on the beach (read salt water) to put boats in the water. It was in peices because the unit was at the time trying to replace all the rusted away parts with parts off other 5 tons. Even...

If some one wanted my M35A2 and they saw it had a lock on the master switch, and they went as far as to try to pull it........wow.. they really want my truck! On that master switch lock system. That is neat!!! could you send me a couple of photos of it with rough measurements to...

Fast stupid quiston. My M35A2 had the pintle hook taken off it. I am going tomorrow to get one off a friends parts truck. I am taking a pipe wrench for the large nut that holds the pintle hook on. So...what size is the two bolts and nuts that hold the mounting bracket on? Thanks. One of the...
