Mikey, if you don't subscribe, either or both Military Vehicles magazine or MVPA magazine, Supply line are excellent publications for running down parts on most vehicles. We can PM for names of a couple of vendors that I have dealt with. If you are just missing the windshield gasket that is a...

Since you destructive tested the old unit, you could probably paint your new box semi-gloss black and cut out the old nomenclature tag and afix it to the new case. Nice work and thank you for the write up.

That is a nice looking M38A1. We should all be so lucky to get one that looks like that but needs a little work. Sounds like you need to get it started, take it for a 10 or 20 mile run. Get the old gas out and some new in. You might dump a can of carb cleaner in if it has been sitting...

That would be a great idea, but the state dept. of licensing is involved so logic is not a priority here. The lady at the licensing station knows how to fix it, but unless it comes from the powers that be, it is a no go. On a side note spent last Sunday afternoon working on the M1102 trying to...

If anything the steering gear may have been moved outboard a hair to miss the exhaust manifold. But it looks pretty stock. I was looking at mine in the dark with the fender on and it looks pretty close to that. If you don't know for sure what age your rig is, you should be able to find a GPW...

Beautiful work as always. But it looks like it all needs to come back out. 2 black brackets? :) What a great an imaginative job.

Looks like a WW2 to me. It appears that they mounted a passenger seat frame in the drivers position. Are you going to restore it? That Buick V6 was probably one of the best conversions for a jeep. The heavy flywheel made them idle along really well. If you cleaned it up, brought it back to...

Good point. I was thinking lighting is lighting. He told me I could be pulled over if the exterior light that lights up the truck box area is lit, going down the road. Sometimes you hit the switch and since it isn't shining on your head, you don't know it is on. This is another one of those...

Good point on the light. That is another reason why I put it where it is. It will be no problem to tap into one of the wires to the running lights and get a light on it. There was a thread sometime back that mentioned remote lighting for license plates as well. I talked with a State officer...

Here is another option for mounting you license plate. Looked at the option with the Simpson strong tie. Was looking at the workbench and there were a couple of hinges off a screen door. They were aluminum, in keeping with the aluminum body option. I first drilled two holes in the license...

1942 GPW have 11 1/2 inches from the bottom of wheel to the seat pan. Keep in mind the average size soldier back then was 5'8" and 145 pounds. If you don't have an original tub, if it is a CJ2A, you might think about the old jeepers trick of sectioning out about 6 inches of the wheel well and...

Well it was one of those days when the bids were placed and everyone else was looking the other way. I wanted one. Bid on the one you want, but hedge your bets with a couple of other bids in case you don't get the nicer one, and then you get them all. Will get the others licensed and trade...

The stitching was coming off on the leading edge of my tan soft top too. Pulled the top, took it to a local upholstery shop, he ran a couple of lines in the same holes, 25 bucks, and it works great. I left the top off for a few days. What good is it to have a convertible if you can't take the...

Thank you Maxtor. Will try to use that angle if the people can't get me fixed up in normal channels. It appears that we need someone to work with that actually knows how the system works when they have something out of the ordinary. In WA, if there are multiples of the same vin number, it...

Have run into a licensing glitch here in WA. I got 3 of the M1102 trailers awhile back. Getting the SF97 from GL was no problem. I went to our county license office and two of the trailers went through, with no problem. One of the 1102's and an M101A1 came back as having the same serial...

Merry Christmas.

You might also look at "At the Front".. They make some really good reproduction uniforms. Depends on your size, but there are quite a few original pieces still to be had from the WW2, Korea time period. I am to the point that it is probably better to get a reproduction. You can get a uniform...

Wolfen, it is sometimes fun and your truck would make a great addition to the fleet.

The period uniforms is one of the things that we do. We have been doing historical displays as a group for more than 20 years. This run is one that we do for us and not for the public. We try to be as accurate as safety allows. We usually have some time for shooting the Garands, carbines...

Scott, here are the proposed dates of things that I know of. 21 March? OFM military show and sale, If we can get a turnout the Museum would like to have us. 11 April Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge luncheon. You get to spend a couple hours with some really neat folks, that are...
