I finally got my M10 ammo trailer home that Glen snagged from the crusher. Now the question I have is do I blast and repaint or leave it in the original patina, repack bearings replace the shot tires to make it road worthy. There are some other things I will do like remove the civi ball hitch...
I have checked the TM and other threads on here and can't find how many bows go on the trailer with the side boards on. Anybody know? Thanks in advance.
I am posting this to help remove some of the confusion on which frame goes to which tent and to save folks from making a costly mistake. A lot of us have gotten the NOS skins for TENT, FRAME-TYPE, EXPANDABLE, 16 FT ×16 FT, (also called Frame,Expandable FWWMR,Lightweight) and have had trouble...
I put a bid in for what I thought was a 280 size shelter, I had inspected and this was the best of the 4 that were up at the same time. As the auction got ready to close the prices started to rise but mine stayed firm one of the others went for twice my bid in OT. My plan was to win a 1061...
KCclay purchased a new to him M35A2 and since today was supposed to be above freezing we made plans to go out and get it. We got a late start getting going so of course arrived when the GSA guys were on break. No big deal spent the time looking at up coming items. We had been told they had a...
I was out at BFR today to drop off twlinks armored drivers hatch cover and to pay Glen for WWII M10 trailer we saved from the crusher. The weather was great so went roaming around the Mil yard and came across this battery box on a junker M923 it sits on top of the BII box. I have never seen...
Got this in an E-mail today.
We are in the planning stages of the 10-11 May 2013 Red Ball Display and Convoy out of Russellville. It will help with the planning to get a general idea of how many plan to attend. This is not a firm commitment to attend, as sometimes plans are altered as the...
No date plate other than Craig s/n and it was shelter for the AN/TRC-32 radio set. The question I have are these brackets for a mobilizer if so which one or are they for something else? The lower bracket is 18.5"off the ground and the upper is 74" I have a M720 mobilizer but it is a no-go. If...
I just picked up what I thought was an older S280 shelter with the mobilizer mounts. KCCLAY and I did the recovery and he mentioned he had a M720 mobilizer that he had got in trade several years ago and if I wanted it, it was mine. Went over today to get it, got the tires and air bags up to...
davesgmc and I had left at O dark thirty this morning to do a 08:00 recovery at GL on Ft Riley. After the pick up we headed west out to BFR Metal on I-70. Well about 15 miles from getting to Salina I noticed the gas gauge was below the E! For you folks that have never driven across Kansas gas...
I am going down to GL @ OKC this week and will have a little room to bring back some smaller items. I will be on I-35 down there and back to Kansas City.
I could not find one of these already started, so here goes.
I have a 16X16 lightweight frame tent w/used canvass that I will use up there, so can't be picked up till Sat eve.
Have brand new in the bags green vinyl window temper 20.5X16 complete with fly, frame and liner. It looks like the one...
This week end is that time of the year to help support our friends with the $$$$ flying MV addiction. A bunch of us from around here go out to the old Olathe Naval Air Station in Gardner Ks and get us and our trucks a nice sun burn. So if you need an avgas fix come on out.
Commemorative Air...
I picked up some trailers from GL last week at Salina KS, (thanks Glen) they were all former USMC steel flatbeds except for this one. Everything above the frame is aluminum, it had 6 reel holders but 2 that were on the front have been removed. The tool box in front of the fenders has a door on...

It's a couple weeks away so time to start.
I am still looking for a M275 wiring harness. I will be bringing medical storage boxes, high back set kits and an assortment of military nick nacks. Found 6 of these 4 men ECWT tents no poles. http://www.tentnet.org/tentnet/basecamp/LEWS/lews.html...
Search has failed me but I thought someone had all ready done this. I have noticed that a lot of the high back HMMWV drivers seats are out and look like they would bolt right in. Before I try to reinvent the wheel has anybody done this?
