Perfect. Thank you.

I'll know more when I can actually get to the unit. I have to wait for the crew to be back on shift again. It's being sold by a local fire department. They purchased it at auction. The unit ran fine but they could get it to make power so they parked it and haven't touched it since. Hopefully...

If I can swing a deal on the old girl I'll start the parts scavenging hunt. Hoping to find a donor trailer since we have a base on the other side of the state. If get my hands on it I'll start a thread. I'm oddly picky about things being original so hopefully I can run a cross a set of the step...

Maybe a Mod could move this thread to the generator section? I started it here because it was strictly a trailer related question.

Thank you Guy. I spent last night reading all of the old generator threads that you were involved in. Made for a long/late night. If I purchase the unit I have a feeling it will require a thread under the generator section and hopefully you will have the time to chime in. Richard

I'm looking at an MEP-004A generator and unfortunately the rear leveling legs on the M200A1 trailer are missing. What are the odds of finding these legs? My searches so far are turning up empty. Richard

It's bad but it may not be as bad as I first thought. It appears to only be in the straight section of the frame. It slowly gets better as you move forward and appears to stop just before the frame begins to rise at the firewall. On another note I'm being told that finding a period correct...

In my mind the only way to properly fix this would be to completely disassemble the frame to pull the doubled section, fix and straighten the inner doubler and rebuild the frame from the ground up. While the truck is quite rare I don't know that it is worth this level of repair. Thoughts?

Got the WC59 home. Everything looks good as far as the engine goes. Clean oil, good coolant, clean carburetor. This one actually looks like it was a runner when it was parked. Body looks good although there will be holes to fill when the arctic cab is removed. Now the bad. As I was walking...

Today might be some day. Possible candidate found. It's slightly newer so unfortunately is has paddle latches instead of the period correct straight handles but it looks like the correct body. Does anyone know when paddle latches first appeared in general? The first is a sample body...

For now I'm going to try to find a windshield for it to get the cab closed up and store it. Too rare to use for parts. Might be able to find a telephone body for it some day.

While searching for parts I ran across what I thought was a WC51 parts truck (minus the windshield of course). The sheet metal looked good so I struck a deal based on just a couple of photos. Turned out to be a WC59 telephone maintenance truck minus the service body. Since so few of these were...

This is the donor chassis that he has. It's what the firewall/cowl section that I already brought home was pulled from. This one is pretty rough. Lots of hacking on the frame and heavy delamination of the frame doubler.

I'll be making another run back to the same seller here in a couple of weeks. The black PW cab in the back is sitting on a 6x6 WC chassis. I have two concerns on this one. 1) The cab s/n plate is missing but the chassis s/n is clearly visible. No idea if I would ever be able to get a bonded...

I've been running through their parts catalog a lot lately. =)

Pretty good day pickin' parts. Came away with 12 more serviceable combat wheels, WC-62 cowl with steering column to strip for parts (data plate with s/n intact), and a complete WC front end with radiator and hood. He was so happy to have the parts gone that he threw in a NOS clutch/pressure...

I'm actually surprised by the number or trucks I've run across since I found the first one just 30 days ago. Today I was surfing and ran across a fellow with a '68 Power Wagon who has 6 of the combat wheels (extra). Unfortunately he won't part with the wheels. He'll only sell them with the truck...

The older I get the more that seems to happen to me. =)

Looking at some pictures of the windshield frames they don't look that complicated. I'll look at the parts truck when it gets here and see what's involved with fabricating them.

Possibly picking this hodge-podge up too if the owner can get the title for it. '52 M37 sitting on a WC62 chassis.
