Bored young guys in a war zone. Yeah, stuff like this happens. But, that does not mean that it should be considered acceptable nor should it be tolerated. On the last jump, the Humvee almost flipped over. Killing yourself, or someone else, to relieve boredom is just plain idiotic. Did I do...

I have been looking for a set of USMC M37 rear lifting/tie down brackets for my truck, so far, without success. Anyway, I borrowed a friends (thanks Blake) and took them to a steel fabricator to get a price on fabricating a duplicate set. While I knew they would not be cheap (not much material...

Hi Paul. Welcome aboard. I'm new to the site myself, but it seems to be full of a great group of people that are always willing to help fellow MV enthusiasts.

Oooppss!!! Actually, Joe's last name is Scheaffer, not Schaeffer. Sorry, Joe. Chuck

I actually found a supplier for the dummy M60 right here on the site. Joe Schaeffer (1959 M274) has them for $1095. He also has upgrades available. The one I am ordering will include a steel carrying handle, feed tray and magazine bracket and will cost $1270 delivered to VA. It is a...

Yes, I sort of figured it would not be cheap. But, since I sold my 1971 USMC M151A2, I can spend more on my M37 (1962 M37B1 which is also be restored/configured to USMC). I still need the rear lifting/tie down brackets and the front bumper 'paperclips' for it. Then a nice paint job and...

Mike, Thanks for the input. I have an email in to both, but will phone them at my first opportunity. I appreciate your help. Chuck

Would anyone out there know of a M24A3 machine gun mount for sale? Also looking for a gas M2 .50 cal and either a parts or gas M60. I realize that these are both hard to find and 'pricey'. Any help would be appreciated. Chuck

Mark, I sent you a personal email with an attached color photo of a 2nd Marine Division M37 showing the tactical marking on the door. Let me know if you do not receive it. From your description, I believe it is the markings that you have on your truck. I think that the confusion lies in...

Mark, Here is a link that will show you, although not in close detail, some Tac Markings used by the 1st & 3rd Marine Divisions in Vietnam. http://www.usmcfew.com/3516/menu.html Go to the link, scroll down and click on the photos. Chuck

Mark, The markings you are describing are for the 2nd Marine Division. The 1st Marine Division used a gold shield (somewhat elongated and flattened at the very top), while the 3rd Marine Division used a scarlett shield (rounded at top) with a gold caltrop within it. Quite often, scarlett...
