DaveP- You got some nice looking trucks there; I especially like the M819. Here's a photo of one I drove in the service many moons ago...

Sure, can you put me down for one? Thanks JK

And I have an M37 I need transported down my way on the return trip... Gary, I think you need to buy this, lemme know how I can help! Jon Kelley

Emmado, you're right on about the slide hammer, I broke down many a tire back in my days in the motor pool. We had tire hammers that stayed in the tool crib, all the guys preferred the slide hammer and was a lot safer too.

You can add me to the list-Paypal is OK by me...Thanks JK

RE: Loewll, Mass. Hey BC, I'll see you there! JK

RE: Re: RE: New pics.. home and "modded" Yea, some of the colors might be a bit 'off', but I was wondering about the olive drab bus in the last photo....Is that military or just a result of the color shift?

John, when I saw the title of this topic I was instantly reminded of a childhood friend who lived on a dairy farm and the tales he told regarding cows, Bic lighters and how his brother lost some body hair in a rather spectacular fashion.....Thankfully your photos have mil. vehicles, not farm...

Gary, did you buy it? How much snow you got up there? JK

Great lookin truck, I'm sure the boys will have a terrific time with it. Seems like we got an awful lot of SS members there in Michigan!

I keep seeing mention of avatars in other posts but all I get is the poster's name, rank, joined date etc. on the left side of the message. Not seeing the avatar for some reason, probably my computer not set up for it somehow? Any help for the technologically challenged? Sorry if this has been...

RE: maine rally Towerguy- I checked on the Coles website last night and didn't see a schedule of events listed so I took the liberty of sending a quick email, to inquire if they've planned anything special that would be a good fit with the mil trucks. I can let you know when I get a reply, and...

Jeez, Kenny, that 108 kinda looks like a florida orange that thats not quite ripe, you gotta get some OD on that thing! And I agree with you on the M819, they are cool lookin' trucks. I drove one in the service, what a blast for a 19 yr old kid! JK

Somehow the map program is recognizing your handle 'PWM' as the airport code for Portland, Maine....

Hmm, that might work out....and the M37 definitely qualifies as an antique. Coles would be good too,and they'd welcome military trucks. I wonder if they have any special events planned for example, Memorial Day or June 6... have to check my calendar!

Buy it, you'll eventually need it for parts anyways. Once you get the OD fever there's no known cure, you just have to keep feeding the addiction....And you'll be saving another deuce from the scrapper....

Paint color on my M37 is much closer to 24087, not sure if its Gillespie as it was that color when I bought it. I've seen this color on deuces, M37s, M151s, and M38a1s. 24087 is correct for Vietnam era. 24052 is a Marine Corps color from what I understand, if you are representing a USMC...

Jeez, I'd think it would be tough to use the gun ring like that. I always thought thats why the passenger seat has the diamond plate on the back, so the gunner could stand on it. (with the cab top off, or a hatch if it's a hardtop.)

Hey Mark, looks like you found a good one. I may have an extra heater here, not sure about the hoses and ducts, tho. And I'll add my name to the list if ya need a co-driver for the trip. I'm in southern Maine...JK

Oh yeah, jetboatracer, I remember this thread...I hope this guy is long gone from the forum and hopefully without his thousand bucks too! Now maybe someone can salvage the green iron and help out those folks who can use the parts...
