We'll ask Macus if he has any spare water pump kits and if you're game, I'll send a couple of take-outs down and you could make some spares to sell. I bought 2 new pumps from Brian Asbury and there's still one on the shelf. Any special tools. pullers, presses or goup needed to re-build one...
It's a good life when a guy doesn't know what's in the inventory bin. Just like reaching into an old pair of pants and finding a hundred dollar bill, very cool find!
Found a Civil Defense link with an M220 titled 'fall-out shelter'. Were they designed to act as a fall-out shelter? My Shop van appears to have provisions for an additional sliding door, inside the main barn doors...
The Civil Defense Story is still being discovered and there are several 'buried' links to our trucks. We're just beginning to discover 'some' of the bunkers, comms shelters, repeaters, receiver and transmitter locations. I've only glanced at the American story but at least you guys have done a...
Can you elaborate a little on Civil Defense in your area and what work the deuce may have done at the time. 50's history is cool.

G749 windshield glass
We're in this together, here's Goose still waiting for glass, months later.
My kids at All West Glass were actually having trouble getting something to replace the rubber on the outer edge of the frame. SuperDave tossed me 4 seals from the M35 and I shouldn't be...
Thanks Henderson 'D', usually a camera flash shows imperfections in any paint and that still looks amazing.
Red seems to be the hardest, heaviest paint to lay down, you done good. Oh I must say it, It's just a sexy piece of metal.
We have a hard top to straighten for Gunfreak, hopefully...
M211 Pictures
That is so impressive I must beg for more pics of the hood. From the one shot it looks perfect, still has that sweet curve. All of the hoods i've seen had damage.
Beautiful work, please share more photos.
