Go with Midwest Military for your parts, John is a great guy and will help you. The last order I got from Vintage Power Wagon I sent back. I ordered for a 1942 Dodge WC, the parts were just cheap made junk. I then placed my order with Midwest Military and the parts were spot on perfect. Also, my...

The mount you used for a test fit, I had two of them and some one got a great deal on them. I had a good friend take them to Aberdeen to sell for me with some other parts. He misunderstood me on the price, what I wanted for one, he thought I meant for both! Things happen, he is still a good...

Thank you for the post. In the Marines, black on a dark green back ground, was called camouflage because it was "hard to see,". You are killing us older guys with the black letters on dark green. Again thanks for the heads up, maybe some one can save it. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I am with rtk and Storm 51 on this. I have had several stock M37s, and one modified one. The modified one has a Dodge 318 in it, with a non-stock transmission, power steering, front and rear end gears changed and disc brakes all the way around. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Bikeman When you get back and if you come back to North Carolina. Maybe you could order two sets of tires, I could chip in 1/4 of the price to get one tire off you. That would give you 5 tires for your jeep and two for the trailer. That would also give me the 5 tires I would need for my jeep if...

Mash4077 Did you order from Summitracing or Coker tire? and could you PM me on what you paid? Thanks! One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Rod No, I did not. I have lost several items here to scrap thieves as I have two places were I store my vehicles. The worst was a WWII air drone trailer I found that spent it's life in a warehouse. It was stolen with two other trailers, plus two truck bodies, and all the trucks parts I had...

I have had a couple of them. That is the WC63, Dodge 1 1/2 ton 6X6 with winch. It was mainly used as a troop carrier or to tow a small field gun. They were not that great of a cargo hauler, even if they were rated at 1 1/2 tons. Why the 3rd axle? glad you asked. The army rifle squads went from...

How do you tell the year your M35 was made by looking at the data plate? One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I have been a member of the MVPA for 25plus years. I remember a story from the mid 1980s were a lady pulled out in front of one of our members driving a M880 Dodge truck. Her fault, but she later sued the guy saying see did not see his truck due to it was camouflaged. Cover yourself as every one...

Guys. it is not GL. I have turned some very nice equipment into scrap before I could turn it in to DRMO. We turn in milling machines, presses, generators, if it has oil in it, the oil has to be drained. Some of us will unscrew an oil line to drain the oil out, some of the guys, will cut all the...

In Crash Crew, we keep a crash truck with full crew on the runway during all flight ops (hotspot). They can be on an aircraft in seconds when there is trouble. We were on an operation one time, and a 2ndLt walks up to one of my crash trucks at hotspot. He asks the crew chief why he does not have...

Matt Yes, the travel lock on the M151A1C is tall!, and is mounted on the floor, not the dash like the M38A1C. One more personal note, out of all the different types of jeeps in the world, the M38A1C was the first jeep I was ever in! For years, back in the late 1960s, Fort Jackson, SC would...

Matt, "poke though" is a good term for the split windshield. The windshield does not hold the 106 barrel, but a travel lock that is mounted on the dash. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

When you stopped by you only saw "some" of the collection! I own another place down the road. Did I have the WWII cannon, the 1944 BSA motorcycle, WC52, CJ2A, and the modified M37? These are the items I have added in the last few years to the collection. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Thank you Porkchop! I am going to place a bid tomorrow on the truck. The biggest thing missing is the pump for the tank. The fire department would use gravity discharge to empty the tank. Thanks again. One of the few, Frank USMC RET
