RE: The two oldest boys bought their first duece!
Sweet....and a Michignader too!!And there is snow on it how nice!! Now you are part of the brotherhood.
I may have located a Dodge WC-10 1/2 ton Carryall. I would like to know some of the obvious things to look for to ensure it is a Military carryall other than a Civilian. Right now it is covered with snow and pretty inaccessible, so I have not inquired about it. I know sometimes the data...

Good thing ya got going amy...I may be one of the few people on the planet who knows where Fennville is and has been there. Don't be discouraged, this bad weather is hard on stuff and as others said it sounds like gelled fuel. Yes a block heater will go along way to starting in temps below 10...

Yes there are quite a few tanks in Michigan, Shelby, Mancelona, Custer, Manistee, Grand Rapids, just to name a few. M-60's and Shermans. And yes, I know about 15 years ago a group who got a M-60 that was delivered and DROVE off the trailer. They also got a Huey. They were instructed to weld...
Looks to be a 2A. This one was in the ground up to the hubs. There was a hood on it and suprisingly took the engine out and put it on the garage floor, hookd up a battery and some fuel, it started up and purred like a kitten..I found 2 more destined for the shredder and took them all apart and...
Hope I can contribute. I have had the in tank pump go out and floored at the over $400 for a replacement. I went to Auto Value and they found a Carter 24 volt fuel pump that matched the per gallons per hour needs that were similar to the in tank pump. I regret I do not have the model number...
