    Building an xm381 style bobber

    Well... I haven't seen one of these done yet that looks like the original with the m34 style bed, so I guess I'll give it a shot. The "victim": Yes I'm aware an m36 is a rare truck compared to an m35 (I'm sure I'll hear about it anyway). According to the paperwork it has had 180 miles put on...

    I've joined the G749 club...

    After making a deal with an SS member I'm the owner of a couple m135s. The orange truck is very nice as far as sheet metal goes, we'll see on the mechanicals once I get it back to the shop. The other truck isn't as nice but not too bad either. I've already got enough projects to get done but...

    The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

    This morning a 1970 m756a2 showed up at the yard. My friend George at Vermont Commercial Salvage bought this truck from DRMO back in the 1990s, he sold it a few years later but last year he bought it back. Rounder's Logistics handled getting it trucked it up from NC and now it's back at the...

    Mystery HMMWV Trailer

    I just won the auction for an odd HMMWV trailer. To me it looks like an early version of the m1101/m1102. Here's what the listing said about it: 1975 Silver Eagle LWHMTC 1.5-Ton Cargo Trailer. Repairs may be required. The year doesn't sound right and a search for LWHMTC didn't find any...

    Picked up an R2 crash truck today...

    My brother found an R2 listed for sale this morning for a good price, so after a few hours of driving we bought it! It looks to be in decent shape, it needs work but it's definitely worth saving. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow and post some more pictures.

    Evil Dr. Porkchop's M-Gator Restoration

    Yesterday my brother and I road tripped over to Fort Drum to pick up the M-Gator I won a couple weeks ago. The recovery went well except for a wheel bearing failure about 60 miles from Drum, so we 3-wheeled the rest of trip. I paid a little more than I was hoping to, but I wanted one and 200...

    An unexpected road trip for a GSA generator

    Back in January I won the bid for a 25kva generator listed at my local airport on GSA. It was listed with the typical vague description and also didn't have any pictures. Being that it was less than 10 miles away I bid on it anyway and won it for less than scrap price. It turns out that...

    Canadian security cages

    Does anyone have any information about the aluminum security cages for the Canadian CUCV's or the earlier Canadian pickups? I've seen them on m135s, MLVWs, and 3/4 ton trailers but haven't seen any pics of the CUCV ones. I've got one that I was told came off a Canadian truck that I will be...

    1999 CUCV II Tahoe

    Yesterday we drove down to Massachusetts to pick up the CUCV II. The weather was pretty bad on the way down, but was a little better on the return trip. We had a "guaranteed reservation" for a u haul trailer just east of the base, but when we showed up they didn't have it. So they sent us to...

    m107a2 Water Buffalo Resto

    Thought I'd post a thread on the progress of the m107a2 we picked up in PA last week. The frame is solid, just needs some clean up before primer and paint, as well as welding up some holes from the fire departments running lights. The fenders are real straight, just need some welding where...
