I was just looking, I can't believe I got this 12 years ago! I really need to get off my butt and finish this one. I do have a new 5th wheel plate, the correct spacers, full winch setup w/correct NOS data plates. Hopefully the pole barn gets done before fall and I can start again on the 48.
They used to have hundreds of MV's in the back lot. All the way back to WW2. APC's, Sexton's. They were scrapping big time when we left GA around 2011. Last time I was there they were dragging deuce and a half's out by the dozens. Even half track parts rigs were going to the scrappers.
Looks...
If there's a prop it isn't a T37. The 37 has a distinctive sound (piercing almost). I also just looked, we got the T37's (I think out of Laughlin AFB). The T37 was replaced in 2009 with the T-6. Looks very similar but with a prop.
Thats a pretty bad picture but are you sure it isn't a Cessna T-37? Look at the shape of the wing. Plus when I was stationed in at NAS JRB Fort Worth we got them in ALL the time.
If you are going to all the trouble of blasting, use a good epoxy primer. Also, look at the paint instructions from the manufacturer. There will be a time limit from when you spray the primer (in hours) until you can still spray the top-coat without having to scuff the entire truck.
Was not that bad to remove. Waiting on the replacement from Midwest to get here. Unfortunately this project may be stalled for awhile as my auto body stuff is locked up at the local Technical College with no way to get it till this Covid stuff passes.
