Picked up a 1944 Studebaker M29 Weasel with the original running gear and motor. Paint job isn't that great but some of the original stenciles are visible and I'm going to try to remove the camo paint to read all the numbers on it. Currently runs like a top but looks like I'll be replaceing...

Hello all, I'm a proud new owner of a 1978 AM General M35A2. The fellow I bought it from says it has about 8000 miles since a new motor/tranny was put in. It has the arctic canvas on back, winch, hardtop, heater (needs work). Big thing is the wife likes it so it is now our portable moose...
