www.midwestmil.com is the bets for parts. I have used www.vintagepowerwagons.com before but they are very pricy with limited tech support. I am willing to bet that midwest will be your one stop place.
I agree. The auction ended with a buy it now and the buyer did have an history that went back for a while. All I am saying is that seemed like a lot of money for the truck.
I was just getting a feel for what others were thinking about it. This is cause I was the one who did the resto on it. Needless to say the person who sold it on ebay claims he got the $10,000 for it. Since I was the one who set up the deal on it and did the work I know what was invetsed. Lets...
Thanks for all the info. I am not regreting the purchase yet. But this wait for my euc to be approved is going on longer than I had imagined. So I will post pics as I fab up the ramps and such. Lets just not tell my wife that I am going through the trouble just so I dont have to pull my civilian...
I was wondering how many of us out there have used their m35 trucks to pull these trailers? I bought one on govliquidation a while back (waiting on sf-97) and plan on using my m35 to pull it. My only plan is to convert it to haul my m37 on it. But when I look at pics that are posted these...
Swaping the body always has it own obstacles like swapping drivetrails. For example wheel base, steering colunms and other things. In my expierence I've been able to keep some of the original "character" with just swapping drivetrains.
You will find it. I always seem to find these type of things at the worst possible times. It seems like they show up at the same time as we need to put money in our house and other bad times. But that doesnot always stop me. (My wife hates it when I do it)
The best advice that I can give is to do it asap. Allthough I enjoy my "stock" m37 they have next to no power and thats why mine only gets a few miles a year. As for the swap I have seen it done a few times and it seems to be pretty straight foreward.
It sounds like a great idea. The duces at ft.meade usually go in the 1000-1500 range for decent shape and no add ons like winches. I have noticed thet if there are ten or more listed there the prices stay low. If there are only a few than its more. Further more remember that after winning an...
I agree with everyone that the robo tool guns are not the greatest. But waiting for the air to rebuild in my truck is no fun either. For me the robo tool is fine and when it cant do the trick my breaker bars can. Not to rain on anyones parade but any 1/2 in drive gun out there is not that much...
Mine is 3/4 in drive. As for the nato plug I use an adapter that I got from ebay for $29. It will do the wheels of your truck but on some lugs it has a hard time. Some people say that they dont last a long time but mine has had no problems yet. As for price I paid in excess of $400 when I got...
I went to aberdeen today and had a great time. I'm sad to say that I didnt bring any of my trucks this time but there was no time to get them ready this year. But on the flip side I saw a lot of nice trucks. Also like mose of us I hit the swap meet and found a lot of good deals. I was able to...
