That is cool! Holler at Swiss Army Vehicles in Arkansas, they used to sell those and might have some of what you need. Cheers

Hi Mik, That is right in the middle of all the Veterans Day events for us in Austin, doubt any of us can make it. We do a school event on the 8th, a parade in Cedar Park on the 9th, I have the Marine Birthday on the 10th, and the Austin Parade on the 11th, so my slate is FULL!! :) Maybe...

Glad you finally got it home. Looks kinda little behind that tractor! You will enjoy it, they are sweet pulling trailers, easy to maneuver. The stairs/boarding ladder are a common size, you should be able to find them. There are a couple of styles. Cheers

Can't help on the first question, but the M939 series are 24volt. Cheers

Unless I am grievously mistaken, he had that trailer at the MVPA convention in Portland. Very cool indeed! Cheers

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in here anywhere, but one of the Park Police officers was asked by a reporter why he was standing there, and was he going to do anything about it. His reply was "I'm NOT going to enforce the no loitering rules on a bunch of WWII vets. I'm a vet myself"...

Okay, that picture came out rather small! Here is one with just that section, maybe it will come out a little better so you can see the detail. I'll take better pictures of the guns when I get a chance (they are locked up out at the farm). Cheers

That is a very nice 813. [thumbzup] Cheers

First thing I did was yank that M16 flash suppressor off and put on a real one. Easy. I don't have any pictures of the front mount addition, I'll take some though. It is easy to figure out, and whatever you do is virtually invisible inside the handguard. On the real gun, it is basically two...

You only have to get shot at once to suddenly enjoy the concept of armour. Cheers

They are a good looking replica gun, and I say that as one who was an M60 gunner in the Marines (many moons ago). I am picky about such things, and own two of them. If I had seen them before I bought a dummy from one of the well-known replica makers, I never would have been saddled with that...

I don't know the answer to that, I was not Motor-T, so most of my truck experience was as a passenger/observer. I remember seeing my first 939 trucks (M923/5's) and loving that big nose and the huge tires. These were at PTA on Hawaii. I couldn't tell you if these were a local mod, or if they...

Here's a couple more. Again, M442's, but they show the basics. The second one is a restoration, but looks right. Post some pictures when you're done. :-D Cheers

It's a VBL, lots of info on them on the net. Cheers

For the era you are doing, 2" yellow lettering on Marine Green is appropriate. Most M151's will have the USMC 335014 in one line along the hood. It is very rare for the Marines to 'stack' the lettering/numbers on the hood, but it was occasionally done. If there is one consistent thing with...

Looks nice, and good choice on tires. Those are what I have switched one of my 1009's to, from 33x12.5's, and I like them better on there. The second 1009 will also get them when it's 12.5's wear out. Not being a sand runner, I don't need the extra width, and the 33x10.5's look more like the...

As said above, a private individual can haul the 146 with a civilian tractor. A commercial operator may run into 'imperial entanglements' flat towing the trailer, I seem to recall someone on here having an issue like that a while back. They will probably want to put it on their own trailer...

I had a 9/16" wrench in my tank when I got it! Didn't effect how it ran though... :grin: Cheers

Most of us Austin types have a parade that day. Catch you on the next one! Cheers

Pretty! (In a manly way). Hope mine comes out half that nice. Original Marine truck with very faded MERDC camo, too grotty to save, but I'm repainting it in that scheme. I like your battery box clasp, good idea. I'm missing one of my originals. Cheers
