Im trying to get this sub forum going again with some more posts. I imported a large lot of Israeli M113A2’s after a three-year back and forth with the State Department. It involved lawyers and other individuals who went and hand-delivered responses, letters and other pertinent information. It...

I bought this M60A1 project from the widow of Steve Preston's after he suffered from a catastrophic accident in his M-41 Walker Bulldog and passed away. I didn't go looking for it but it was offered to me and because it had all the proper release paperwork from the USMC and Department of Navy, I...

Here are two pictures of my M-50 after full restoration and DD registration. The service history of this Sherman is so rich from it's origins in Europe, Israel and finally Lebanon and then back to Israel after the Christian militia handed it back over to the IDF. It was initially part of the...

It took almost seven weeks for the EUC to clear this time. I guess it's been awhile since we did one and can only assume that our information was purged? Well, they arrived this afternoon in MUCH better condition than I was expecting. The pictures and descriptions were pretty close but I...

That didn't take long for prices to drop down to a reasonable price on GovPlanet. I was able to pick up three today and the most I paid was $12,500 (got one for $10,000) and that had a 6.5 and 242 T/C. One had a 6.2L and another must have been a comms truck becuse it had the 200 amp alternator...

First, I wish I could spend more hours here on SS chatting and reading but time is something that I have very little of. That being said, I have had some of my staff do some research here on the forums when they can't get a hold of our CWO who is a walking and talking TM. One thing that our...

Hi Folks, I need a CH-34 "Choctaw" helicopter transported from Flagstaff, AZ to Las Vegas, NV. If you have a very low deck (2ft height) trailer, no special permits will be needed. The blades and landing gear will be removed when loaded by the original owner. Overall length is 36ft long, 6ft...

Hi folks, Quick question... can I pull a NP218 transfer case and install a NP-242 as long as I use a drive shaft that was used in a 242 vehicle? If so, anything else to the swap? In a huge jam and trying to figure this out fast. I don't want the guys to install the transfer case and then find...

We finally got delivery of our Chieftain Mk5 that was modified (along with two others) for use in the movie Courage Under Fire. It was delivered on Tuesday afternoon has been a head-turner since arriving at the property. Other than it being stuck in first gear, this tank is a dream to drive! I...

I don't have pics with me (left the iPad at home) but I managed to negotiate the purchase of a Sherman M4 tank. We were here in my office and when the current owner told me the price, I couldn't shake his hand and call it a "deal" fast enough. My poor wife was trying to keep calm and cool while...

We got lucky and found a complete Goat and my partner completed the deal at $4,500 delivered to our property. It's dated 1972 and is 100% complete except for missing a rear light. It still has the original military 6TM batteries in it. We still have quite a few vehicles ahead of it needing...

Our M2A1 half track arrived today and the fact that it starts and stops is just extra. Here's a little video of it. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4463/r2ldltdcgqeoxizkpspuek.mp4

Hi Folks, I just had an ex-US military Huey UH-1B dropped off today. This one is complete except for the engine, seats and most of the dash gauges. All the wiring, transmission and other parts are still there. We will be using it for a zip line at our new indoor shooting range one block of the...

Hey folks, I bought this Ford GPW to use as photo op. I know I'm going to need front and rear seats but is that front tow bar some sort of aftermarket piece? I don't know the first thing about these vehicles. thanks, Ron

I apologize for the cheesy title but figure you folks would understand ;-) I want to modify our M998 into an eye-catcher for our new retail gun store that we are opening. I don't want to spend a to much money so I plan on having one of my employees fabricate most of the racks and carriers for...

Hi Folks, I need a trailer picked up in Jefferson City, MO to Henderson/Las Vegas, NV.... any takers and/or suggestions. thanks, Ron

Hi Folks, There is an auction site (don't know if I can post ongoing auctions) that has a 1993 military HMMWV listed. It states that they have 15 of them total and has a some unit markings on the door. I was under the impression that no .mil vehicles other than ex-USMC were released for...

Hi Folks, Just got this from Yermo/Barstow yesterday. It's a 1988 M35A2C and previous California Air Force National Guard vehicle. The only thing wrong with it is a pair of dead batteries (was able to roll start it). Everything on this truck is clean and straight with absolutely zero rust.

Hi Folks, Picked up my second truck today and was surprised to see that this truck needed keys to start. Luckily the hauler new what a hyster key was and recognized this when he went to pick up the truck. We thought the ignition lever was busted off when we went to preview the truck. The...

Hi Folks, My M998 has been running perfectly for the last couple of weeks now. Today I started the vehicle up and drove it to the shop and during a run to pick up some lunch, I noticed the temp was pegged at 205 degrees. This truck runs at a consistent 180 degrees. When I got home I popped...
