Long range forecasts currently predict Friday-Sunday to be sunny in the mid-70s. Looks great so far! I'll bring some beer, a little firewood, and some quality cigars. I'll also bring some food, but I'm not a cook, I frequently make EPIC FAILS boiling water. So someone please bring extra dead...

I need tires, but not that size right now. Thanks for the reply.

If that's all that's left, I don't see that much more useful stuff to save. Was there a pair of taillights on the rig I don't see?

I remember an ad from 20 years back I saw in Four Wheeler magazine (they had for sale ads at the time). It was a full size Blazer, lifted on 44 inch tires, and the ad said it came with a "12,000 lb wench". Man, I'd hate to see that broad. Girl's so big hauling a$$ takes two trips.

I have some aluminum diamond plate laying around, but it's in sections. I may just get steel diamond plate cut to size to fit the deck and be done with it. The underside of the frame and deck will be coated with bedliner or underbody coating to halt the rust that is there. Or at least slow...

Open to mosquitos And ugly as sin. Hauled lots of bombs So the war we would win. Burma Jeep.

BTT - JAKE please update the list, there are many who have dropped out over the last couple weeks. I'm still going with my M35A2, no passengers.

Well, I spent half the day today tearing down the trailer to the frame and suspension, so I can see what I have to work with. After removing the body, which is shot, the wiring, shocks, hand brake assembly, little brackets and other junk that will not survive into the next incarnation, I saw...

Welcome...to the machines. :)

Those aren't M-ATVs, those are FMTV trucks with the armor upgrade. They look weirder to me, but it's what keeps truck drivers "over there" alive.

Here's a couple without a canvas cover, if that's what you want.

I'll bring tires. They burn great too. :grd:

Btt.

Anyone? Bueller?

Sir, you bring the term "hillbilly" to a whole new level. And for that, we salute you. We'll laugh at you as you drive down the street, but we salute you nonetheless.

I miss the show that used to be in Medina, Ohio. That was a nice little show. Have fun, guys.

WOW! Now that's a hard-to-find bugger there. Never seen one like it in person, although I have seen a couple similar WWII era phone maintenance trucks. The basis for this truck is the G506 Chevy, 1-1/2 ton model. Parts are not rare, but getting more uncommon by the year. They are where...

That's a decent price. 4 years isn't that long a time to get an engine started again, as long as parts weren't taken off it. Try to get him as low as possible, then when she's yours, sell off the bed and the plow to recup some costs, and start building her back. I wouldn't say parts for these...

Looks good - I have to play with the M416 on this end this week, I'll use your mods as an example for mine. Thanks!

Absolutely! It started life as a WWII Chevrolet, called the G506. It's a 1-1/2-ton 4x4, over 160,000 of them were made in the war. Here's what it started out looking as:
