    Universal Carrier MK1

    They have a V8 flathead ford, 85HP , I think. We restored one several years ago for a customer, and installed a late model 302 Ford V8, at his request. That made a significant improvement Mac

    FYI. GovPlanet no longer allows partial payments on items $5k+

    Having bought over $250,000 from GL, I have bought 5 vehicles from GP, two of them took 7 months and intervention from JWade to clear the paperwork Two of the others took 5 months. In addition it took two months to get the tax issues resolved. I can not afford to have $20,000+ tied up for...

    M35A2 Keyed door locks?

    I have dealt with this company a number of times. They have quality products and are good to work with. I have the door locks on several of my trucks. Check out their overhead cab light unit as well.

    1951 M37 with engine knock

    I have an M 43 that had motor troubles, apparently those motors have a number of issues. We fixed it with a small block Chevy motor. Made an enormous difference. Not a hard swap if you don't mind it not being original.

    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    I am in B-5, which is the first spot under the wifi pole, same as last year the Morgans were next to me in I think B-6, so B-7 should be next to them, about half way between the check in tent and the highway. That being said, I could be completely wrong.

    My first MV, an M43.

    We are in the process of restoring one now, when I got it the old 6 cylinder had a broken rod, pulled it out and installed a small block 350. I know, the purists will get their panties in a wad, but if you are going to drive it, it makes an enormous difference. If there are no serious problems...

    back-up camera

    I installed one on my M109A3 last year due to the huge blind spot in the rear. Got it from Cosco for less than $200, works great. It has inputs for four cameras. I don't belong to Cosco but paid a small fee to buy from them. I don't know how waterproof it is but rain doesn't harm it. I don't...

    Dyeing a dash pad?

    I just bought a dash cover from JC Whitney for about $100 for a M1009, good quality, and good fit. Just trim the cracks in the old one and glue the new one to the original. I have also used dye obtained from the local auto paint store with good results for another M1009 we restored several years...

    Wiper parks in line of sight

    I use a small bungee on the one of mine that does that. Hook it to the lever on the air motor in what ever position you want.

    GA Registration cost

    Don't forget since 2013 Ga. is charging a 7% ad valorium tax on the purchase price. Ga. no longer charges a sales tax on motor vehicles. This is an issue when a retailer such as GP charges you a 7% sales tax at purchase time ,then you pay another 7% when you purchase the tag. You can recover...

    X Door Repair

    As you would any fiberglass body part, sand, prime and paint. If the scratches are deep, skim with short strand fiberglas, let it dry sand, prime and paint.
