I'm about 1 hour north of the City right on the Hudson (close to West Point) so ..luckily I don't think that will be a problem . I stopped by to check on it today and ..the Family who's yard it's in would really like to get it finished and out as well. They said they want it finished and out of...

As soon as he welds/fixes the floorpan ..I'll start painting. This week I'll clean the frame the best I can and coat it with the Por15 ..at least I can start that. I'll take some more pictures and post 'em this week.

Thanks for that ...that will also save me a lot of time (and primer) I'll use the Por15 first and wait until it's "tacky" THEN , hit it with the Primer ..otherwise I hear it's almost impossible to have Paint stick to it once it's dried.

Well ...my hands are a little tied because my friend (the Mechanic in this show) has been really busy. I did have the Transmission rebuilt and I decided to use that new crated up Transfer case I was saving. I had the Radiator redone ..ordered 3 Gallons of Por15 as well as the Metal Prep. I still...

Re: RE: Locking hubs. Thanks for posting that Link Doghead ..I have another Jeep that came with one of those and , I always wondered where it came from or if it was Home made .. You just solved that mystery :D The "Cab" was in rough shape so we ended up cutting it off and scrapping it

I've had good luck with Mohegan Glass across from the Cortlandt Center , might be worth a call ...ask for Gus and tell him I told you to call.

Thanks guys ..It looks like Por15 will be my choice. Now I just have to figure out how to get the leftover paint off before it's applied. I'm still looking for a sanblasting service that will come out and do it in place. If I can't find anyone ...it's either buy a Sears blaster or start grinding...

I agree , I know that would be the right way to do it ..but I don't know of a Company who could hot tank it around here and , I can't find a profesional Sand Blasting service . Then even if I found a company to do it ...I'd probably have to bring it to them...I guess I could balance the Cab on...

Thanks guys ...dropped off the Tranny today , I decided to have them go through it before we start putting everything back together. I thought I might as well have the shop change the pump etc and make sure I won't have any surprises. Here's a picture of the inside of the "new" Cab ...it does...

Also ..Was the 880 318 originally painted Blue ? ..and do any of you know what color the Frame was when they were delivered ?

I've ordered quite a bit from Jim at Shade Tree as well as Saturn and several others. They've been a great help. I'm having the 727 rebuilt this week and then we are installing one of the Army rebuilt Transfer Cases ..I bought it years ago for around $300 , no sense saving it for a rainy day...

The new 318

Here's the bottom of the "new" Cab we're putting on. The floor is in great shape ..he said the Truck only had 18 or 20K miles on it when he bought it . The main thing here will be cutting out the floor panel correctly so we can put the cover for the hi-lo range shifter. That's the only...

Here's my old Cab ..The Floor is pretty well rusted out

I have a good friend (also a great Mechanic) who offered to help me fix up my 880. My Cab is in bad shape (Rust) but luckily , I met someone who had a complete Cab as well as 2 fenders and Doors sitting in storage for almost 10 years . He had an 880 2wd version that he bought back in 1990 with a...

You're right , there were very few of us ..back then I joined MVCC , still have the first volume & a stack of their Army Motors magazine (someplace)

I still own it ..still love it. Maybe someday I'll cherry it out and do the final body work. I'm convinced that the only reason my Jeep lasted all these years is because Colorado didn't Salt the Roads .

I decided to sand blast everything BUT ..the day I picked to rent the equipment we were hit with a major Snow Storm ..I worked anyway ..really had no choice. The storm paused long enough for me to re-blast and then prime everything (and get it in the Garage)

I just found these pictures and thought I'd share them with you. I lived (and worked) in Vail Co for 2 years and met "GRIZZLY ADDAMS" himself (looked like one of the ZZ-Top guys with Overalls)! Grizzly was selling a 1944 GPW. I was young , didn't really know what was involved and thought I...

Also drove them this year in the 4th of July Parade at West Point. We have a great friend (and neighbor) who offered to drive the M38A1 ..Pat Selleck , he was at LZ X-Ray (We Were Soldiers) . It's an honor to know him and call him a friend. We had a lot of fun but...
