thanks for the photos. I am already making an exact copy from an original seat that I found. Have made and sold a bunch of them and everyone is happy with them. What I really need now is some drawings or a set of top bows to reproduce. I am also reproducing the battery boxes, battery box lid...

I am currently reproducing the passenger seat. Exact replica of the original. you can contact me at metalshaper@comcast.net and I can send you some photos. I can make the top bows but as of yet have not come across a set to copy or anyone that may have drawings or dimensions.

thanks for the lead, I will check for parts there. Do you have an original engine in your GTB? Running the original distributor? If so, what did you use for a cap and rotor. I know something interchanges with the original distributor but lost my notes on that so any help would be...

Just got back to following the GTB thread. While deep into the restoration of my GTB Bomb Service truck, I decided to move to a new location and am just getting back into the restoration. I will try to get some photos of my completed engine if I can figure out how to load them on this site...

Finallly got the trailer lined up for the move but still need some heavy lifting done. Any connecticut members interested??????

Already talked to a bunch of riggers and towing companies but you couldn't believe the prices I have been getting. Having moved all the stuff inside with my M62 wrecker I was hoping to find some connecticut members with the same type of equipment. Should have never sold my wrecker but someone...

Need help with a move, looking for Connecticut members with heavy equipment Hello everyone, Been a while since I have been on the site and things are crazy around the shop. Since I have outgrown my present restoration shop I decided to get a larger piece of land and spread out a bit. I won't...

always interested in GTB photos. I plan on sewing a top for my GTB when done so I am looking for photos of the top and the bows to try and get it right. Thanks, Brian

Some photos of my GTB bomb carrier coming together. Painted all the chassis components earlier in the week and finally assembled everything yesterday. Nice to be able to roll it around after all this time. Just getting ready to roll out of the paint booth. More to follow. And as always...

Glad to hear there is another survivor GTB out there. Guess the top bows are already gone but I am looking for a good set of them. Also there is a small hand winch on the boom which will bring the trolley winch in and out. Mine is missing that small hand winch so if it is still around I...

Glad to have saved a bomb carrier and lucky that mine came from the west coast and is in very good shape and complete. Still searching for a passenger seat for my vehicle, or even one to copy. I can fabricate one from a good photo or drawing if anyone has one. Anybody out there ever see any...

Baz, for hard parts I like to use either macs, or joblot. You can search Macs at. www.macsauto.com. I don't have the address but type in Joblot Automotive and you should find them. They are in New York, USA. I have gone thru my transfer case, transmission, front and rear ends, winch and...

Gtb Hello BAZ, Good looking GTB. I will try to get some photos up on the site of mine and the progress I have made. Carb parts are not hard to find, will send along some info as soon as I dig it out. My GTB started life as a cargo truck but was converted early in its military life to a...

Boyd, thanks so much for the GTB photos. My bomb carrier came from California so it is in very good shape. Engine is at the machine shop and I am going thru the rest of the mechanical parts now. Attached are some photos of parts in progress. I am missing small things like the horn, speedo...
