    Relative value of M715 bed?

    I'm sure you're right. I got a bit overzealous and paid $1500- and that was with the seller driving 5hrs to deliver it. I'll be interested to see what it looks like on the B-3-PW frame soon.

    Relative value of M715 bed?

    "A fool and his money..." Well, I purchased the bed- right, wrong, or indifferent:LOL:. Now what to do with it?

    Relative value of M715 bed?

    Thank you for the detailed response, Barrman. I knew it was a well cared-for bed, but I do feel like it would have to be modified for my PW. This civy PW has an 8ft bed with similar fenders, but not sure how much the front and back half of the bed would fit on my 52.

    Relative value of M715 bed?

    Thanks. I'm needing a bed for a 52 B-3 Power Wagon, and a complete bed for one of those is in the $2k+ region. This one is considerably cheaper, but I refuse to hack it up for a retro-fit, so I may see what it looks like on a civy Dodge.

    Relative value of M715 bed?

    Gents- I'm looking at an M715 bed in excellent condition. May I ask what 'fair market' value is for one?

    Searching for M715 bed?

    Gents- if anyone has a lead on a decent M715 bed located in the Southeast, I'd appreciate it! oberstarg503atyahoo

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    May not be the paint's fault, but I'm not happy with the outcome of the cab on the WC52. I'm sure it's my fault and goofed somewhere, even though I have overthought this project from the start. The one detail that I'm seeing is that the painted parts that are still not hardening are those that...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    OK- thanks. I may be overthinking the application. It is pretty tough, and the first coat was light. I sprayed it, and let it sit in a controlled environment shop for 4 months before I saw it again. One issue is that I initially got the paint in Satin. I have now returned to HD, got a batch...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    1. How many coats did you spray to achieve this? 2. Is it safe to assume that you cannot lift the paint off the primer with your fingernail?

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Gents- I'm working on a 43 WC52 cab. I bought the Behr Marquis in satin, ensured the cab was as grease free as possible, and shot just one light coat over Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer. The Behr was shot un-thinned with a Graco sprayer, and left for 4 months to dry. This is my first time...

    Behr observations / primer question

    Gents- I thought I would give some 'common sense' feedback to the forum. I have been studying different colors and shades of olive drab for years in a decision to paint our WC52. I saw an example here on SS of a beautiful job on a Hummer. Well, we sprayed it on yesterday through our Graco...

    Brush strokes..

    Thanks, AZ! Today is the day- will sand down the firewall and dash, clean the remnants with tack rag, and let 'er rip!

    Brush strokes..

    Gents, my Son and I brushed on Rustoleum's Rusty Metal Primer on our WC52 cab. We have brush strokes because we're newbs, and we feel it's no big deal. Once dry, we are going to spray Behr Marquis with our Graco sprayer- will the latex fill in those brush strokes, or should we sand before...

    Airless Sprayer- Graco vs...

    Tin, I took your opinion and those of a lot of SS members, and got the 360 VSP as well. I can't wait to use it in conjunction with that Behr paint! If it turns out half as good as your shelter, I'll be content..

    Airless Sprayer- Graco vs...

    Fantastic information, PW! Thanks much. The reviews online appear to be somewhat favorable, and one commenter said that when his Graco wasn't pumping very well, that the (2) o-rings were easily replaceable from Ace Hardware, and he was back into business. Their customer service and warranty...

    Airless Sprayer- Graco vs...

    Gents, after looking at the Behr paint job thread, I'd like to get your opinion on which airless to go with? Currently, I'm looking at the Graco battery operated line with attached cup. but I'm open for suggestions. My uses will be Behr latex paint for a 3/4T Dodge WC, a converto trailer, and...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Mark, would you consider that semi gloss, or flat? Seems like there's a bit of shine on the surface? I think the color is great, and just might be the future color of my WC52. There's too many green vehicles, and just a shade slightly off of that would be great! I may go a bit flatter, but...

    WTB- MJ-1 Bomb loader

    Now that's not the AF I knew. Thanks for the personal experience. My Dad was a weapons puke on A-7/A-10's, so I thought he might get a kick out of one in the shop. I'm working on a deal for one right now- apparently, the Hatz motor even runs. Something else to maintain :D

    WTB- MJ-1 Bomb loader

    Along with all of the other wartime crap I collect, I somehow feel the need to get an MJ-1 'jammer' bomb loader :???:. If anyone knows of one within their 'inner circles', please let me know!

    Project time again at Zouts

    Zout, did you ever feel that with all of the work you do on MV's, that you would want a 2 or 4 post lift? I feel I want a 4 post lift, but for cryin' out loud, I only mess with these old vehicles a tenth of the times that you do...
