My 1942 WC52 has that same sat up done by the Norwegians during one of it's rebuilds. The truck is still 6 volt, and very original except for the fuel filter. I thought about it, and like you, I still have the modern one on the truck. ...and like you it is still white. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Semper Fi Miller from a 2/4 weapons company Marine. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

We did that when I was a young Marine to reseat tires on our crash trucks. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Sand blasted the racks that hold the 106MM shells in the back of the jeep. After chow, I plan on putting primer on them, tomorrow they get paint. This winter the M38A1 jeep in the barn, will become a M38A1C. The M38A1C is a M38A1 jeep with a 106 recoilless rifle on it. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Me and a very close friend found a M37, that was the 11th one made in the first month of production. This truck was a 100%, survivor. the only thing the fire department did to it was paint it. No extra holes for a pump, they did not remove the tailgate, and are you ready, it even still had all...

Mac You need to get the manuals, it will show every thing on fording. I have several sets here if you need to borrow one. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Looks like you have the fording cable in the dash, so I will bet the engine has all the fording parts on it. very lucky to even have the plug for the bell housing while fording! I have all the parts to build the M38A1C, to include a nice 106 recoilless rifle here. The jeep I am using does not...

We used them in the Marines on the firing line to blacken our sights on the rifles. I will ask one of the marines at work if they still used them. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Sid Also, if you paint it tan, and some "expert" comes up and tells you that shipping vehicles from North Africa to another front did not happen. It was also done on the Alaskan highway. I have read were used trucks came in from North Africa to help with the construction and maintenance of the...

Mac First, nice jeep to start with! I have three M38A1s down here on the coast of North Carolina, I am building a M38A1C out of one, and the other two are for parts at this time. Stop in if you ever make a run to the coast. Second, change the M38 USMC to a M38A1 USMC on your list of vehicles...

Steve He had better be a nice guy, he has some very big shoes to fill. Dennis, the old owner of Portrayal Press was a great guy. I have a book shelve full of his books I used to buy back in the 1980s while I was stationed in New Jersey. Most of the books I bought from him are now out of print...

Sid I would just pick a tan you like and paint the WC54 that color. There are several factors to think about. 1.The color would not have been a factory hand picked perfect color, it would have been, "any one got any tan paint we can use to paint our trucks with?" color. 2. Over 25 years ago, I...

The 1965 dated jeep tires I posted about at the beginning of this post are still on my 1943 WWII jeep. I put them on in the mid 1990s. They still look great. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

Chief, not seeing anything also. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Gimpyrob is correct on the answer. A bracket is pinned to the top of the spring pack and it goes into the "upside down C". On the end of the bracket is a loop and the sling is attached to that bracket. The brackets are hard to find on the loose and when found, most of the time they are scrapped...

NDT is pointing out a great point. I just sold a very rare and complete wooden WWII trailer to a guy. He used the uship bidder. The hauler showed up, 1. late 2. could not load the trailer 3. we offered to help load with a friends forklift, then found out he did not have enough straps to secure...

Steve Yes, look at the Community Forum, and click on Hauling schedule. I have had great luck with them. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Some one posted on the G503 forum about some unhappy campers who had used him. I tried once to use his service to pick up a truck up north for me. The weather was bad in the area, so in my e-mail to him that the weather was bad and I could wait till he was in that area. He sent me a rude e-mail...

Bob In about 3 weeks is Veterans day, check your local towns to see if any are having a veterans day parade. They need military vehicles to carry the veterans that can no longer walk the parade routes. Also Christmas is right around the corner, again sign up for some parades, get out and be...

The Bride and I go up to the mountains of NC around the March time frame. It is cool, but not a lot of tourist around yet. One of the few, Frank USMC RET
