That is a CJ2A painted green, with M151 rims. It is worth as much as a farm jeep painted up nice. If you get it, get rid of the rims. They would have had to do some cutting on them to get them over the front hubs, unsafe. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Yes, I knew he was from Baltimore, but last time I had contact with him I thought he told me he was being sent to the middle east. Prayers sent. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Try G503, you might have a good chance there. I had a WC55 years ago. I painted mine as a Marine Corps truck. The WC55, with the WC53 Carry All were given to the Marines as the Army was dropping them. I have some parts boxed for the WC55, they are common parts, just good for displays. One of...

The WWII combat rims do not have left and right hand lugs, you are thinking of the axles. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I saw a M211 that was repowered, and also had a manual transmission in it back in the early 1980s. I was very shocked, because at the time you could pick up very nice government released M211 trucks, why convert one? One more thing, the cab was done cleaner than the one in your photos. The...

That truck was restored by Mr. Talbert. I had a chance to ride with him in one of his rebuilt M37s back in 1988, WOW!! I still have not forgotten that ride. This was a time when you could still find very nice rebuilt M37s, and WWII trucks. To ride in one that had a diesel motor was just plain...

Down the road from you in Newport, NC. Welcome to the site, stop by if you make a run to the beach. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Did any one else notice that a lot of the equipment was very used. The International trucks, and dump trucks looked to be new trucks, but the Dodge ambulances, jeeps, and some of the construction equipment look used. Could this have been equipment used by the army, and turned over to the Seabees...

Over on the CJ2A forum, one of the forum members was killed this week by carbon monoxide. His jeep got stuck in a stream and he called a wreaker to pull it out. He kept the jeep running and when a wrecker showed up he was dead. It don't play. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I have the original manual for the test manual here. One of the prototype mites was delivered to Camp Lejeune, a Marine sergeant was given the task of just driving it every day and reporting on the handling of the new jeep. He gave the manual to my friend, who gave it to me. One of the few...

Bob I am also a "noncarrier" of cell phones. I catch a lot of flak about it at work. My Bride did buy me one, but I do not carry it. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

I also just ordered some parts from him. Not only did he buy Bill Watsons inventory, he also has Bills no pressure sales attitude, and "lets make sure you are getting the correct parts for your problem". Great guy! One note, the parts sells is a side line for him, he has runs a machine shop, so...

I have been a military vehicle collector since 1976. I have seen, in person, two M37s with V8s, and two M37s with Cummins in them. All the others, have had the good ole flat head 6. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

I am with the Chief on this one. There are some fire departments out there that go overboard and make beautiful fire trucks out of the loaner trucks they get. I can see them painting the fire wall. The Marine Corps did have a M38A1 fire truck in the 1960s. I have seen about 5 of them, all of...

The 1980s was good time, I still even remember some of it! In the 1980s the Military vehicle collector was coming on to the collecting area. The MVCC had been started in 1976, and clubs were growing. No longer was it guys like me thinking I was the only one who wanted a military vehicle. In...

I have seen one and sat in one! Drum roll! The one I was in was made in the late 1980s by a very wealthy guy down the road from me. He bought all the remaining WC62s, and WC63s from White Owl parts company in Kinston, NC. He restored a couple of them, them he wanted to try something different...

I found one in 1987 that was 100% complete, to include the canvas. It was for sell for $1500. I wanted it so bad, but I had orders, and 3 other military vehicles to move over to my new duty station.........the guy sold it to a lawn service guy, who was going to strip it down to carry lawn mowers...

Looks like the remains of an MB2. I have seen one almost like this where the doors were removed. The back has been cut, and you can make out the hatch on the roof of the cab. One of the few, Frank USMC RET
