I can make all those in either paint mask or decals. You can check out my decal site http://www.deltateamdecals.com/home.html and although I don't have them listed separately, just tell me which ones you need and I can put together a quote for you.
We are just over a week away and I was just checking to see if any members had any interest in displaying for the Heroes on the Dunes on Saturday July 20th.
We will be having a Military Vehicle display during the Heroes on The Dunes event on Saturday July 20th. The Heroes on the Dunes event raises thousands of dollars for veteran’s charities each year and brings in 75 disabled veterans and families for a free weekend experience at the Silver Lake...
Used to hold the hood open. It hooks into one of the windshield tie downs on the hood. It keeps a gust of wind from blowing the hood closed on someone who is working under it.
Well, it looks like I'm getting a day hallpass from the boss to run down on Saturday. I'm bringing down a set of troop seats for a guy and she said as long as I don't bring back too much stuff. Ha Ha
There are a couple of M101 with white markings pics on my decal website, http://www.deltateamdecals.com/trailers.html Also those locations work for the M105's from that time period as well. I have one in original markings.
The 2 major players in parts for these trucks is Memphis Equipment and Vintage Powerwagons, but there are a ton of small vendors that have various items and ebay is often helpful on finding some of the odd parts. Being a M-series vehicle, means that there are several common parts that are the...
For US ARMY markings, the hood markings changed in 1968 in that the format changed to include the year the vehicle was accepted into the Army on the end. An example of a 68' marking for a deuce would be 04A00168. This would be the first class 4 vehicle accepted by the Army for 1968. The A and...
The M715 bows are curved and more like the bows on a M35 than the M37. The corners are more rounded and don't go to a full 90 degrees, this accounts for the curve of the bow.
Also be aware that the M37 has a pretty narrow engine compartment which makes swapping bigger engines a bit more difficult that most other vehicles. There are a lot of engineering obstacles to over come to try and shoe horn a big 440 in there.
The easiest way to tell a difference is in the bow corners. M37' and M101 trailer bows have an 90 degree bow corner where the M715 and other vehicles like the M35's have a more rounded bow corner that doesn't go quite a full 90 degrees.
No they are not tied to the vin in anyway and once lost they are gone. The M715 had two different styles of hood registration numbers depending on the year they were produced. 67' trucks had the older style of marking looking like this 3A 0001. The 3 indicates the vehicles vehicle class. This...
Black lettering and square periods tell me that these are more than likely not original marking for this vehicle. What year M37 is it? As that will make all the difference as to weather these are legit numbers.
The markings are the same sizes as the markings on M35's and other trucks of the era. The only difference is in the tire pressure marking numbers being higher for the 5 ton's. If you need some help figuring out the markings you can contact me trough my markings website, www.deltateamdecals.com...
Unfortunately they are not the same as the older J-trucks. They can be made to fit but the radiator support has to be moved. The M725 is the same radiator as the more common M715, but even then finding a new one will be next to impossible. Post up that you are looking for one in the wanted parts...
I have always had fun at this show, but it always seams to fall on a bad weekend for me. This year we have guests from out of state visiting and I don't think the wife would have like it if I snuck off for a few hours to go to the show.
