    Red Ball Militaria and MV Parts Swap Meet - Jim Thorpe PA March 7, 2015

    Right now, the weather looks remarkably warm for the recent snap around 40 and no real precip. That means things are looking up. There's always interesting stuff depending on what one is interested in and whether it'll fit on a table. I think that the bigger stuff is usually prearranged and...

    M35 gasser cost estimate

    For that truck, I'd sit on the corner with a tin cup to pan handle towing fees. Even in this weather in NH. Congratulations. Steve

    M916A1 Little Stuff

    As a Deuce & M37 owner, I'm having trouble grokking an MV w/ a wood grained dash. Can't wait to see it and the Stuart. Steve

    Addition of 1 Ton Bed Crane

    They are rated and seem low for the appearance.. I've seen it published but I can't remember where or the capacity at the moment. Steve

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Congratulations. I pointed that one out to a friend down here who is on the market. It looked like a good deal with only minor repairs needed. Betcha it could have made a patient trip down if a tow was too expensive. Steve

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Very nice. Start getting it ready for that nice long (non-tpke, if it was me) ride up to the show in Sussex in April. Have your shopping list with you. Steve

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    If you suspect arcing or smell ozone at all (garlic) coming from under the truck or behind the cab, whether driving or sitting, replace that switch without delay. It's a trivial job and expense, and it can avoid a huge smoke display (especially if there's brake fluid residue around it). [Don't]...

    I knew I had seen something like the above comment before but have never been able to find it again. Thanks.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yes, but did you notice how much smoother it rides w/ a bit of weight in the back? Steve

    Red Ball Militaria and MV Parts Swap Meet - Jim Thorpe PA March 7, 2015

    Since the Sussex and several other later show threads have started, seems like a good idea to start one for Redball's Jim Thorpe season opener. http://redballonline.org/JimThorpeShow/2015JimThorpeInfo.htm

    Bought A M275 Need some guidance

    "...Nothing was cut off and I am pretty sure I can return it to a tractor with a minimum of fuss..." The bed is nice. I saw photos of a 5 ton where the 5th wheel was still in place and the bed docked to it like a trailer. Mounted like a slide in camper. I'd want better bracing than that one...

    USMC M116a(2???) Bed Measurements Needed

    Guys, that's exactly the information I was looking for. G, I wasn't able to find that post via search. Now I can try to figure out how to mount bows. I'm not figuring on the A2 style stake pockets, but I'd like to use those bows. Thanks to all and Happy New Year. Steve

    USMC M116a(2???) Bed Measurements Needed

    I'm looking at one of these trailers and I can't quite get a handle on the measurements based on my M116a2. In particular, I'm trying to picture how regular A2 bows can be fitted. If anyone knows these widths in the marked up photo, I'd appreciate hearing back. It'll save me bucking 2 1/2...

    M105A2 Racks/Bows/Tarp on M105A3 Trailer?

    I know that the part numbers and appearances are different, but I'm wondering if these critical items match up: Do stakes fit into stake pockets properly (both size into the pocket and distance on center between)? Are the bows the same width? Tarp? I haven't been able to find a direct...

    Toys for Tots 2014 Events

    Here are a few more snapshots of Saturday's train, 1st and 2nd stops. We were too busy passing toys in the rain to stand around and take pictures, and people weren't hanging out like they usually do because of the weather. Even the guys who do the rail fan videos skipped all the station stops...

    Members in/near Northern NJ: Want to start up a get together/ride

    I don't personally. If you search YouTube for Toys for Tots Train 2014you'll find several other rail fan videos of this train, some with the car names clearly displayed. A Google of those specific car names will likely return some info. Rail fans are big on that stuff. Steve
