OK-- Thanks, I will look for the message and make calls! Been trying past few days to reach someone there.. All I get is a long phone tree, then VM. today I cant even get to the phone tree. Frustrating!

I have an Oshkosh M911 sitting in US Customs IMPOUND in Texas. Seems they decided it is a Military Vehicle and require a release from the government to allow it to be exported. I thought that when these are declared surplus and sold to the general public, they are clear to go--- It is a TRUCK--...

Well, a plea for some movment seems to have gotten the attention of the shipping company.. I THINK I have this resolved thanks to all that pitched in. NOW All I need in ONE Decent used tire for the truck.. Anyone got a 1400X24 NDT tire? Want to match the other ties on the truck.. Next rigs to...

Yes, I know-- Too bad these guys have no idea how to get things done. I spent a lot of time at the Oakland Army terminal during the Vietnam era watching forklift drivers load ships. No sitting around in those days, they made it happen.. Whatever had to get on board, they did it.. These guys out...

Trailer is at Norfolk International Terminal 757 440 7048 David or John are the managers there. I do not kow if they will allow a private truck with 90mm pin to come in and move the trailer onboard. I am trying to get answers now. If no help, I need to have the trailer removed very soon. Thanks...

yah, what really gets me is I told them what the trailer is.. BIG pin, rolls fine but no brake connections. they all said no--problem-o. they want me to send it out to have it converted to a standard pin.. geez, then they cant use it on the other side.

I have an M747 sitting in a shipyard in Virginia that was supposed to be loaded for export. These guys in the yard are telling me they can move it because of the BIG fith wheel pin these use.. AND also no gladhands to hook up brakes. The trailer goes to a collection in Europe that I have found a...

Thanks Guys.. I have Vintage Power Wagons building seats. All my window frames were in great shape and the glass was good enough for patterns. SO my local glass guy is cutting all the glass. Still need some parts.. Looks like V.P.W. has most of it.. What kind of paint materials are you using...

Just picked up a WC53. NO seats at all.. I am looking for photos or help to get the correct seats. Will also need complete glass set and rubber. Anyone have patterns for the glass? I am in northern Cal. Would also like to find a WC1 project if not a HUGE project... Also looking for a 1400X24...
