    WTK: Front Left Hub Leak, M52A2

    Thats cool. I guess now out to the shop to start the 'CSI truck hub'. I wish one of you guys was closer to me, Id drive over, bring some suds, and work on this thing. Or better yet, I could invite you, then use my shop(s). Im just always hesitant to start these jobs. SO far this truck has...

    WTK: Front Left Hub Leak, M52A2

    Ive noticed since Ive owned my truck its had a wet spot on the inner sidewall of the driver side tire. For the longest time the spot has been "old" and "dry". Then this weekend I drove the ol girl about 35-40 miles. I parked it in my building and hopped out only to walk off and notice the wet...

    Bees - Ouch....

    I have the exact same problem, and its weird because the M52 is the only thing they bother... Weird, since it doesnt sit any longer than any of the other 3 vehicles in the same building. I think there is something to be said about all the rough surfaces that are overhanging in the dry around...

    Another WTB Ring Mount, Pintle, etc for .50 or .30 cal MG

    Maybe I need some explaination. What is the cab reinf. plate? Something I will need I assume?? :) 98HD, are you saying I need to pick up a MaDuece? The 1919 is much more affordable. :(

    Another WTB Ring Mount, Pintle, etc for .50 or .30 cal MG

    WTB / Need : A nice Canvas cover for the cab of my 52/54.

    Anyone have a lead on a top canvas for a 52/54? Mine is so dry rotted that you cant get it wedged around the windshield without ripping it. Ive babied it and now its just kinda :P. I hate to have to give $450 to $500 plus the cargo canvas I still need... :(

    M52A2 Tractor - to - Cargo Done, Ready for Paint!

    I dont know a whole lot about this truck as far as original markings, etc. I can tell you that it came from Letterkenny, and has markings that can be seen through the paint on the bumper that said "Property of XXXXX" and I cant make out the last letters. I wish I knew more. As for who built...

    M52A2 Tractor - to - Cargo Done, Ready for Paint!

    Sourced the bed from OIFVET here on the boards. He and I swapped tractor stuff for cargo stuff. Speaking of OIF, we need to talk. I have your taillight, and tell your people at the restoration shop to keep the brackets, no need in paying freight on something I dont need now. TIA ETA: Could...

    M52A2 Tractor - to - Cargo Done, Ready for Paint!

    Where can I find some pics of his conversion? As for paint, Im going with the old Vietnam era green, and the offwhite lettering/ID. Im going to do the matte black frame and drivetrain, and wheels. I think that looks so so 'classy' if thats possible for a MV. ;)

    M52A2 Tractor - to - Cargo Done, Ready for Paint!

    Well its been a bit of work, but all worth it. Made all my own bracketry, used gr. 8 hardware throughout (new), and couldnt be happier. Now its on to a little bodywork and a fresh coat of paint. Only thing it needs mechanically now is a new wiper motor on the pass. side. Have a look:
