I just went and looked at my 99 dated trailer, and on the right front frame rail there is a data plate with lots of info. One of the lines says Manufacturers Serial number. That would be a good one to go with. The other is a government number

Are you scaling your conversion off pictures? It seems like these trucks are all fairly custom. You guys are causing my resolve to waver on keeping the M54A2 stock, even though it did time in the sandbox, and is still in original configuration.

Wrecker Ray, I hope to go on Sunday, but may not make it till 1200 or so. It is the top on this trailer. You wouldn't happen to have a spare M1101 top would you, preferably in tan? I need a couple top bows too.

Thank you for the tip Dwayne. I would guess there are a lot more guys out there with green or camo 101 trailers than with tan ones, so I don't want to mess a nice green one up with paint. It looks okay on the trailer and matches what the military would have had, as they mix and match a lot.

Does anyone have a tan cover for a 101 that they would like to trade for a green one? I have a really nice green one and want a tan. the green one is vinyl. P

I will let Teri from the Museum know. I want to take my new M923 and I think the first Sgt. will want to take his too, unless he wants to take the CCKW to put it up for sale. He is still conflicted on that.

Here are the rules as the museum has sent them out.

I think they are 25 or 30 dollars. I will get a poster for the event posted with the updated contact info.

Where did this recovery take place? Neat stuff.

Replaced a couple of the small corner rubber ropes on the cargo cover. A 3 foot piece works very well for those. The original was 5/16 and what is being sold in the truck stores is 3/8's, so I did find with a little candle wax on the hole, the new larger diameter rope goes through okay. Have...

Here is a tip that may be worthwhile. In WA state oversize, height loads are required to be escorted on their journeys. The front pilot car will use a height pole that is set at 6 inches above the height of the measured load. This allows them to get a strike and warn the following load. Just...

OFM will be hosting their Spring Military show and display on March 8. Military vehicles are welcome, please chime in to this thread or send me a note so I can make arrangements with them for us. They will let us use their main parking lot for MV's and you will have free access to the show...

Thank you for the note. Keep an eye on these pages for next years update. I may be fighting the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium during the next parade, but will get it set up so you guys can all participate. Locally there were several nice comments on what we fielded that night. The more the...

That is the best way, to get up close to them. If he hasn't sold them all, he has a good variety of the styles of trucks.

Check the Portland CL. There have been a few on there lately.

It is a bit too cold and wet, but worked on some rust on the 923 today. It seems both mirrors were developing some bad spots, plus the mounting arms too. So took them apart, beat on the rust, got some primer on them, painted, and reinstalled on the truck. will probably have to do some touch up...

Thanks Hammer. That is the information that I was looking for. These were built in the day where 50 was about it. Do we need to get pictures of this one while it is still all put together so we can see to do it some time in the future? It towed very comfortably and made an interesting setup...

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately this turned out to be a bigger project than projected and by the time I got it delivered, it was getting dark and I didn't realize that I didn't get a good enough photo of the data plate. It is twenty miles away now, but will get a pic next time I am down...

Thank you for the tip on this. It looks roughly similar to the S 749 system. we will keep doing research on it. The question is it safe to tow one at 50 or 55 MPH? It seemed to tow okay at 45, but would like to see the recommendations in the manual if someone has them.

Communication Box Went and picked up a trailer for Larry M. today. Fortunately it wasn't far to my house, because by the time I got there, one brake drum was very warm. I gave it a bath, greased, and checked the tires. The neighbor came over and we played with it pulling it back and forth and...
