There will be again a military vehicle show at the Fall Oak Ridge Festival in Attica, Ohio. The dates are October 15th and 16th with set up on Friday the 14th. No charge for exhibiting your vehicle, there is plenty of food vendors there and some vehicle owners will be camping out as ell...

There's a junkyard near here, alot of old rotten wood boats and other non-descript junk, but he has one of the first hydraulic cranes built for the Seabees in WWII, some know it as an "anteater" due to the long "I"-beam boom tapered at one end and bowed down slightly. Had some pictures of it...

Don't know about 5 ton envy, I've got one of those and the wrecker to haul it home when it it bad, but I've always wanted one, JUST ONE of those and you have how many???? seven?? My but that hurts. Makes my collection very pale in comparison.

There's one sitting sinking into the ground at Sam Winer Motors in Akron, Ohio also (matter of fact there is a Sherman doing the same thing as well as an M-5, but thats another story) Maybe those folks have some various parts left too The one sitting there is fairly complete, but nobody can...

Good luck to you, those things are near impossible to get parts for, too much aluminum for them to have lasted long after the military got rid of them. They're right in suggesting cranetruck, Bjorn know more than anybody about them and IF there are parts out there, he'll know where they are...

I think the folks from Glen's Surplus were talking of bringing some trucks from Shelby to the show. They've got some nice ones over there and the prices are not outrageous, but are about what everyone is getting for the same thing. Bobby Arms is the guy in charge of them, they do have some...

Don't know about full sets of hardware, but I needed some replacement stakes for the racks, I had a set that had been in a trailer roll over and needed the uprights. "Jeep Panels Plus" up in Maine has the tooling to make those things, and in any length. I bought two sets from him and they...

Guess I'd better make Findlay this year....... I've got to be in Toledo on Saturday afternoon, the 180th Fighter and Freedom Flight of NW Ohio are hosting a "Stage Door Canteen" for the WWII vets and we've got some things going on. They were looking for some WWII trucks, but guess the Ohio...

That my friend is the best way to do it. I know of another contractor who does similar work the same way. Quite successful too. Good luck to you and your significant other. I still think she'll keep you out of that truck for awhile just to be a show off. But that is women...... Mine gets...

See, all good things come to those who wait.... The problem there is you're going to WAIT an awful long time before she lets you drive that one just for spite. And in that she is a good shot with a .45, I'd not "force" the issue. That's why I don't let my half unit have anything more than a...

I sure am glad the moderator mentioned that he corrected that little glitch in WM's post, I thought maybe Elmo was playing on the keyboard and got a claw caught and hurt himself. Then somebody would have to notify the ASPCP... (association to prevent cruelty to POSSUMS) The shouldn't be...

sure looks like its from the cargo variant as our group owns the tractor, and those mounts don't look familiar to me. But its definately that class, too bad the tires are in such bad shape they are getting scarse. Bjorn could ID this better, he's been on top of our project almost from the...

The bed I'm restoring for my CCW 5 tonner is an early all steel and has the early style tie-downs, there was another Compsite bed that came with it that was suitable for reclaimation of useable parts, it was a very late war unit, most likely never mounted as it came from a source that worked at...

"Elmo's Dad", is that LEGAL....... When I read it I was thinking Grumpy old men and a POSSUM, but I could be wrong. Keep up the good work WM, the young ones are the future of the hobby. I know up here, we use the vehicles in support of the Sea Cadet programs as well as other shows and...

I think I know where some of the parts you're looking for used to "reside" over in Fremont, Ohio..... I'll ask around. Let you know IF I come up with anything.

What you do is get her the ring, and some flowers, put them both IN the truck and then tell her you have a surprise for her. She'll most likely not even remember the truck they were in..... BUT like they say, LATER it will get rough. Mine takes it all with a grain of something.... She loves...

Welcome aboard for Sandusky, You'll find you deal down state faster too.

Proper disposal of an Humvee, that means its disposal as RESIDUE due to its demilling right..... I hear that GM who still owner the Hummer trade name at the time was really T'ed off at the Marine Corps for releasing all those that they did, and the commandant got a slap on the hand for it...

Have not seen any NOS grills, but I may have a good condition used one somewhere, I've a parts truck stashed in my sisters barn I could check on. PM me if you'd be interested.

Where in Sandusky are you, I've got a small collection of trucks in that town, (Pearl Street) and "bgekky3" has a couple nice "deuce's" just east of us and elsewhere....... But you're welcome to get ahold of me and we'll go from there. There is a collectors group in the area, a local one...
