Austin Webber down in Marble Falls, Texas has some of the 6" lunette extensions that I believe were used on the M198 howitzers. Has anyone got any experience with them? Will they fit a standard M101A3 lunette? I need a short extension for my 101 because it's too close to the ambulance body...

I'm in the process of reconditioning some radios and I've been looking for a good alternative to the Gillespie (Rapco) 24087 and the Aervoe 997A paints. The GC paint is a little too dull and brown and the 997A doesn't hold up well in the field even thought it's the right gloss and color. I've...

I just bought a nice 101A3 at Sierra AD and was not given a Form 97 when it was picked up. Now GLwants to charge me $60 for the Form 97. Since that particular From 97 only has relevance to me, the original purchaser and was turned over to GL with the trailer, why should I have to pay an...

Would it be practical to add a Cool Tools forum to SS? It would be educational for people new to the hobby and save a lot of time for those of us still doing things the old way. There are new tools being introduced all the time and some of them are real time savers or make jobs so much...

Does anybody have a good way to remove that ##@$@# grease pencil government liquuidation uses to mark their items? I've tried paint thinner, lacquer thinner, toluene, mineral spirits, alcohol, gasoline and every other solvent I can think of with no luck. Once it gets onto CARC paint it seems...

Who has new top bow corners for the 101 trailers available? Thanks

Has anyone on the list every seen a good design for an underbed spare tire rack on an M101 series trailer? I really don't want to add all the weight up front with a tongue mounted spare. TIA, Kurt Lesser

Has anyone on the list made or seen a spare tire rack that would mount under the rear of the bed on a 101 trailer? I'd rather mount it there than add the weight to the tongue with a front mounted spare. It means the rear landing leg would have to be removable but I believe this is a better...

On the last sale I won a trailer at Sierra Army Depot. Surprisingly enough, the EUC processed quickly and the GL employee I spoke to at Sierra was very helpful. What Aaron failed to mention was the bases requirements to get on the base. I asked a friend in the area to pick up the trailer and...

I was awarded one of the trailers at Sierra Army Depot and when I sent in my EUC (why in the world a 3/4T trailer needs an EUC is beyond me) I got an email back from GL asking me to resubmit the EUC because in section 2 I checked box A, "retention for the following use", and put cargo trailer...

Does anyone on the list know if there are any M416B1 data plates out there? TIA, Kurt Lesser

I'm heading back to Thailand right after Tower Park and wondered if anyone has ever found anything of interest there (other than the usual stuff)? I will be about an hour east of Bangkok but the train system is cheap and you can get almost anywhere in the country within a day. Thanks, Kurt...
