As Barrman mentioned the Lone Star MVPA meets in the museum on Camp Mabry at 7pm on the third Wednesday each month. Come in the main gate off 35th Street, show your ID to the security folks and tell them where you are going. Cheers

M-X mobile ICBM system, designed to have the launchers wander about so they could not be targeted by a Soviet first strike. The project had problems (among them deployment of missiles that were not operational so they would "look" deployed to the Soviets), the whole project was scrapped when...

The white over OD green is the old Army admin vehicle scheme, used for non-tactical vehicles, MPs, etc. Unless the Army wanted a 1009 in an obsolete scheme for some special use, I'd personally theorize that a previous civilian owner painted it that way. CU0197 would be the registration, but...

Ha! Two of us posted at the same time!

FS 34052 is the colour code for flat Marine green. If you want semi-gloss, it is 24052. Rapco Parts has it in gallons or spray cans, I've used their paint for 20+ years and been very happy with it. Lets see this jeep as you progress! Cheers

Not necessarily. The military didn't buy any dual rear wheel CUCVs from the factory, all were later conversions from a GM kit provided in a big crate and were usually converted at depot level, but many were done at unit level. M1028 and M1028A1 were both single rear wheel trucks. M1028A2 and...

They can be towed without air by caging the trailer brakes. Most of the ones I've seen being sold by GP already have them caged so they can move them around. Cheers

When you upload pictures to the site now, it gives you an option to show full picture or a thumbnail in the post. If you hit the thumbnail button when you upload, folks see reasonable sized pictures instead of the monster sized ones. You can click on the small pic in the post and it will open...

He's not the only one who got that same basic idea on seriously modifying a 1028- here is one I found on the internet and saved pictures of back around 2011. Very similar approach to the modifications, but not the same bed. And at least this one has mudflaps. Definitely not original but both...

Thanks. I'd love to see the picture if you can find it! :jumpin: I've found nothing so far myself. But then, it took me four years to find an inservice picture of the Air Force CMT-F trailers Pawnshop and I bought many years ago. ;) And I pulled that light - while the lens is glued on, it...

Regardless of obsolescence or availability of manuals outside the service, if the Marine Corps said distribution is restricted and has not rescinded that, then they are technically still restricted and an active Marine will find himself in very hot water for releasing the Marine Corps manuals...

Okay, digging the square. :) Thanks! Cheers

A very minor thing, but are we stuck with peeping at the avatars through a keyhole? Cheers

This question seems to keep being missed above- What is an M719? Cheers

It certainly looks right on there. How are you mounting it to the frame? Cheers

Here are some in colour, including the pattern for a hard top. The pattern always stays the same, the colours change to suit the environment. At least that was the plan - in the Marines most of our stuff was painted Winter Verdant year round, unless we were in the desert or a snowy...

Not all versions of the manual had all the patterns (which seems a bit silly!). So here is the M151 pattern on its own. ;) Cheers

Something went wrong somewhere! There shouldn't be a 1990 version of TB 43-0147, as it was obsolete by then. Three-colour camo is in TB 43-0219. Try these links to the two manuals - MERDEC View attachment TB 43-0147 camouflage.pdf 383 three-colour View attachment TB 43-0209...

Your link has good stuff in it, thank you. (y) For the MST7G I actually have these, which I sourced off fleabay. Same look as the originals and allow interoperability with my 12v and 24v trucks without swapping anything. I'll use standard military LED tail-lights for the same reason, but I...

TB 43-0147 is the manual that covers MERDC camouflage, it is in the manuals section in PDF format. The colours are as listed in the attachements below. The M151 in your pictures is painted Winter Verdant - Forest Green 34079, Field Drab (the brown) 30118, Sand 30277, and Black 37038 A note on...
