I have not read all of the replies to this article, but I hope you bought it! I don't know why so many 'non-Jeep' guys chimed in on this article, but I am a Jeep guy. I live in CO and here in the west we are fortunate that our metal doesn't rust (it does rust, but not anything like it does...

A friend of mine told me about a guy who has a variety of truck parts for sale. As it turns out, he lives just 2 miles from me. He has a '47 studebaker frame and cab for sale in good shape). He also has a '44 Dodge Cab (cab only) for sale (top of cab is dented). He had M37 front and rear...

Often we have towed soft-skinned vehicles with rag tops (Jeeps, WCs, etc) and have been annoyed by the fact that towing the vehicle at 60-70 mph can wreak havoc with your top. The frame/cover seems to allow plenty of access, yet keep the weight down. Having a trialer like yours seems to solve...

Crash Cool rig! It looks like you succeeded in getting your rig moved. What happened? We have guys in our club that want to move rigs such as yours. What did you do to get the rig to CO? We have often wanted to move MVs to attend certain shows. What did you learn? Our club has several...

What ever happened to this Pinz titles in WI? What happened at your meeting? Were you able to talk sense to the senator?

Ernie I sent you two replies, and the 2nd overwrote a large part of the 1st reply. Sorry if this causes confusion. NB

ET I have no doubt that what you say is true; however, we have guys in our club that also have MVPA #s that begin with 1xx and so on. I am a little fuzzy on the early history of our club, but I certainly know some of the original members. I began re-enacting in the mid-80s, and knew quite a...

I haven't been to your site yet, but have you held this event previously? Are you part of some MV group or are you planning on working with other vehicle, historical, or living history groups? I am in CO and have never heard of your event. We have attened several large events in our area...

I suggest you try to Google the Red Ball MV club (based in NJ, but they have members all over the place). Its a big group, well organized, and many of their guys really know their stuff. They post a copy of their newsletter online and it has tons of content. This will serve as an excellent...

Jeepman Our club is the MVCC (see www.mvcconline.org). We are right here in CO. Our group started as the MVCC and then in 1976, we established the National organization that first called itself IMVCC and then later the MVPA. (Few people know this) We ran the MVPA right here in Colorado...

This could be a trailer used by airborne troops to prepare for roadwork/airstrip ops. It definitely is Mil-spec, but it appears to be lightly built (perhaps to save weight). One of our guys have several pcs of airborne gear similar to this, but I have not seen this type of trailer...

I love it! Got to love the Gunny! Got any 'unusable' rims you want to sell? If I followed the advice of that article, we would never find rims that were usable!!

I have no doubt that this emblem was modeled after the original ID tags attached to the inside frame rail on early MBs just behind the front bumper. It would seem that they kept the same idea, modified the ID badge a bit (to reflect the Jeep logo), and relocated the ID badge to a less obvious...

Fleetmaster

Tractor - check it out. No sense wasting time if it ain't true! If it is true, try to get to know the guy and take some pics. Fleetman - One other thing about our Jeep collector - he has certain allergies that limit what he can eat. He has to be careful with most foods and even preservatives...

Jeepman The guy with the 70 Jeeps is self-employed, has a large, successful business and makes great money, and is a widower (he doesn't have to explain what he does with this $$ to anyone). He also purchased a car dealership that went out of business in a small town outside of the metro area...

In 1994, I attended the WWII Weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum. 1994 was their 3rd or 4rd year. It was a nice show, a few a/c, some re-enactors and their tents (small camp) and various displays in the hangar. Ten years later, the show had grown considerably. Check out some of their...

I have been a member of MVPA for 10+ yrs... I am also the webmaster for our club (MVCC) so I know a few things about the web. The MVPA will post any affiliate club on their site. As an affiliate, we have to have a certain percentage of our membership that are also MVPA members. Our club was...
