How'd you find one in Michigan that wasn't rotted out with salt rust. I've recovered three from up there and they were only parts trucks. Matter of fact, I'm looking for a good condition bed for one now. Any up there???

The more I look at that picture, ( the white cab complete truck) the more I'm willing to bet its a CCW not a CCKW. Wish the weeds in front allowed us to see the front axle, I'd be willing to bet its an I-beam axle not a "banjo" for a CCKW. There are just too many similarities to my truck...

The winch looks like something off a utility truck, not off something maritime as the winch is wrong, its obviously not a ' jury riged' winch and capstan outfit, too nice looking, but didn't belong where it is now. Designed as one piece and made to run off a chain drive PTO rig. Really nice...

That is the early GMC cab on the red truck in the barn (why is it every one of those early things has a red cab and black fenders????? Must have been a good color combo for the farmers, mine was that way too, but mine is a 6x4 CCW) It's missing the window protector on the back of the cab, but...

glcaines is right, I purchased one that said it was for either, but it didn't fit the larger truck, but having several Dodges, it didn't go to waste.

You get into issues in western Ohio, let me know, there are those in the FMVG that will help where and when we can and we're spread from Toledo through Vermilion, Ohio and south through Old Fort near Tiffin, my number is 419-626-6349, and our Vice prez and the treasurer's business number is...

Really sad to hear about JeepPanels Plus, they were really great to work with, made me about two sets of M-101 stakes for the cost of the die, and their floor panels were the best, put new ones in a jeep and one of my 725's worked great, no starain putting them in like some aftermarket stuff...

At least we know it wsn't someone from the Nothern areas that was responsible. Its absolutely reprehensable, no wait thats marsupial, oh well, we didn't do it.......:roll:

Nice stuff, and we think helping the Allen County Historical Society with their Sherman was fun........ My oh my, You folks are just having more fun than any one person should legally be allowed to.:-P

Most of those we've seen are now diesel powered, we're just completing a cosmetic restoration on one for the VFW post in Bellevue, Ohio. We really think that if we rebuilt the starter, it might light off!!!! Its a nice rig, came from an outfit out west when last rebuild was done at depot...

I've had several various radiators re-cored, from a CCW 5 ton to the 38-A1, the ones for newer stuff I just bought new it was less expensive. And the price you quote is actually a good one, a little less than I paid.

check up under the dash on the tunnel at the fire wall, mine was thought to be a "deuce" too right up till I found the tag there and showed the farmer I got it from that it was a 1942 5 ton 6X4 cargo built by Yellow Truck and Bus Div. GMC. Frank VonRosenstiel in Canada has new nomenclature...

That doesn't look like a drive axle under the front is it? You could have an early GMC 5 ton there if the front axle is I-beam not a banjo and thats whats on the rear, they didn't use mixed axles that I know if, (timken splits and banjo's) I've got one of the 5 tonner's working it up now...

There has been alot of good material here and its obvious that the hobby is under serious scrutiny, there are states even now attempting to withdraw the ability to use our vehicles on the roads. And lets face it, even repainted civilian colors they are still "military trucks" and the public is...

I guess if that is what Detroit wants as its claim to fame, the reality of a movie, but who'd want to go there to see the statue? Most folks I know hate the idea of even driving through it on the freeway, the traffic on Rt 23 is getting alot worse because of it. As for the LEO's in and around...

Thats the nice thing about this forum, while 'long ago in a galaxcy far far away' I was once trained as a diesel mechanic, today most of us only play at being one. And threads like this allow us to glean the best and worst of what we do in our hobby. The members here are not afraid to post...

Sea Foam is really good stuff, I use it in my equipment and the towing company (read marine towing company here) has used it for years in their gas and diesel equipment and also uses it to lay up (pickle) any engines that have sunk and have to be laid up to await the bill being paid for the...

Boyce has always been a good source for me, I needed a section of manifold for my M-62 International and they made me a deal I just couldn't refuse and got the whole manifold instead, plus a book for it. Really nice people to deal with all the way around. And all my stuff has to be shipped...

Thanks Driver523 for the further info on the M-37 gun truck "Godzilla", we didn't know it carried a mini, that sort of complicates things some. I understand recreating those is a royal pain. Say one on "The Untouchables" at an event in Marion, Ohio a few years back when "the Wall" was there...

These guys are spot on, if you're looking for armor to play with, the Scorpion type vehicle is best. American armor is nice but heavy, expensive to maintain and driving it anywhere is not really fun. The permits will fry your brain, as the DOT folks don't really appreciate us. And the...
