Found a few pics I took at Haspin in camp - I didn't take the camera out on the trail, everyone has a better camera than I, and the pictures they take always end up here and are good pics, so I don't bother with my camera much. Had a great time again, can't wait for next year....

Met with Jason yesterday, he was a great guy, picked up the M37 off of my friend Ralph, who had a stroke last year and won't be able to drive it anymore. The M37 was Ralph's baby, he had great plans for it, but in his improving (but still handicapped) state, it would be a long while before he...

Don't worry about it - keep driving it, the longer you own it, eventually it will be a new truck!

That's an awesome looking truck. Hope it goes to someone who will not only use it, but take care of it.

Sold a non-runner with a lot of new parts on it for $2,500 in 2011, but it was an eBay sale, and I really needed the money. Have a gentleman in TN interested in a friends' M37 that was running a few years back, complete, no big issues, with a ton of spare parts and two spare engines, etc. for $5K.

Good news about the interior, is that the military CUCV series was pretty spartan. The seats, center console, overhead console, that crappy-looking headliner, you can rip all that out and replace with a couple bench seats from M1008 parts trucks that lots of the guys here have. I'd breathe a...

Good save on the truck! If you need parts to restore the electrical, Lord knows there are a lot of CUCV parts truck owners here that can help out with the resto. Be a great truck to see at the Rausch Creek PA rally in October!

The only 1919s that FedGov still owns are in their museums. And the ones we gave other countries for Lend Lease in WWII. And the thousands we left behind in Vietnam are still technically ours. So you're going WAY back in time. The M939 series trucks started coming out in the early to mid...

Perhaps it's a Grove aircraft tug? There aren't many manufacturers for the big tugs, Google Search is your friend....

Helicopters from the 1940s-1950s all looked very odd to me. Part of the reason was most of them were piston-driven craft, which was limited in their lift capabilities. The airframe was designed around the engine, and shortcuts had to be made to limit the airframe's size and weight, to minimize...

Looks like a neat project! Taking the spare parts and making something totally new and useful out of it....

It's almost July, we have to start planning the Fall 2013 Rausch Creek PA rally for those who want to come out and wheel their MVs over rocks and dirt again! The poll questions give three options for weekends. Mid-to-late October has always worked out well for us. Any later and it's too cold...

Any updates?

Great design, I'll have to save some pics of yours for future reference, so I can build my own set...

Last time I looked at them, the sewing machines were still in them. They were Singer industrial models, all metal and looked pretty robust.

Why is there not much info on them? They were purpose built for a tactical military support purpose, which doesn't really carry over into the civilian world. Noone needs a mobile trailer to repair clothing in the civilian sector, so when the units got surplussed out, most of them got scrapped...

There are a bunch of them at Coleman's Surplus in PA. I might make a run up there next week, I'll take some pics if you want them.... If the meantime, here's a thread on the subject...

Thanks for the input... In place of the sink, I think a good addition would be a dehumidifier, to keep the inside of the shelter nice and dry at all times, when it's in its travels or at home as well. With all the radio and electronic gear I plan to install, keeping the rigs dampness-free...

If you get a M101A1 or the original M101, the wheels on them are 5-lug Power Wagon wheels, while the M1008 pickup uses 8-lug standard rims. I'm not saying you shouldn't get a M101A1, they are great trailers, just if you end up getting one, you will have to carry a spare tire/wheel for the...

That explains why - I never shop there so I don't know what the parking lot resembles. I'm always at Lowe's for hardware. The specialty stuff and fittings I go to Winchester and shop at Solenbergers.
