DOD Mil Standard 642 spells out markings for Marine Corps vehicles, placement, colors used, paint/adhesive lettering etc. if its not in the TM's available on this site, you can find it in the manual section on my website, G838.org, and probably many other places.

I'm thinking Ingersol-Rand skid mounted stationary 25KV standby generator somebody converted to portable. Ingersol-Rand supplied generators to the govt, and was a major user of Hercules DT-2300 diesel engines in their gensets....

to answer your vehicle question, you cant drive off a vehicle, you'll need to trailer or tow it. They wont care that your personal vehicle used to be military, but they will care that it is properly registered, insured, inspected etc. Do not speed or anything on base either, the MP's are pretty...
When you bid, you provide your credit card or paypal info. if you win, they go ahead and charge your card/paypal for the amount owed. You dont have to do anything at that point. It generally takes a day or two for them to get around to it, so just be patient. Once they have collected your money...

MD Juan has just started producing m151 body parts! They have just shipped a batch of battery box floor panels to Darryl Bensinger which should be available mid-august (slow boat ride) It appears they may start making toolbox doors next, but that's a guess on my part. Anyway, for those needing...
my state (NY) will not issue a title for vehicles over 25 years old. You get a transferable registration which allows proof of ownership and vehicle plates combined. The plates then go with the vehicle when you sell it. Thats all you get here whether its a regular tag, historic, whatever. Thanks...
I've had occasion lately to make a couple pick ups at the Mechanicsburg PA site and just wanted to note that the staff there is doing a great job! They were very quick and efficient making the property recovery a breeze! All were very helpful and friendly too.

The dataplate is from a 1972 AMG M151A2. The DOD and INSP fields were left blank on AMG mutts. The jeep itself appears to be an earlier M151A1 with an A2 windshield and A2 fender repair patches grafted on. While anything is possible, its more likely a previous owner liked the look of the A2...
that is true, the budd# is just a assembly line sequence number and would not be considered part of the hood number, and would not be painted on the hood or elsewhere as the registration #. However, when the dataplate was stamped, it was included after the registration # and a dash, probably as...
that is the vin# and would have been stamped on the vehicle data plate. That reg# corresponds to a 1971 Ford. (02= 1/4 ton truck, LZ05 is the unique reg, and 71 is the year of manufacture) The dataplate registration number would have combined the hood number and budd tag number (tag on...
