I was told by one of the fire fighters he thought the tank was 1200 gallons. He was told because it was a fuel tanker at one time, not to fill the tank all the way up because fuel is lighter than water, and they did not want to over load the truck. One of the few, Frank USMC RET PS, as the out...

Sorry about that, I go the two mixed up. While in the Marines I had the license to drive the M50A2, so I had M50 on the brain. We used it as a tent city fire truck. The truck I went and saw today was the fuel truck, a M49A2C. The truck has the fuel tank on the back and no drop sides. So, back...

Ok, I am mainly for the past 30 been a WWII vehicle collector. I do have a couple of the M35A2 trucks now. Here is my question, I just went and looked at a M50A2C fuel tanker. I remember the M50A2 trucks while in the Marines, but what does the "C" stand for? Thanks. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

Could be going to be rebuilt. We get aircraft on lowboys all the time at our rebuild facility. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

To back up what Dave just said, I knew a marine who spent 30 years in the marines, he joined before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. During the Korean war, he told me, they would drive the International M-5H-6 till it died! because, if they turned it in for repairs, they would get a CCKW back...

yes, that boat has sailed. For years Gary kept saying to buy them at his price, which was a very good price. One of the few, Frank USMC RET Owner of a complete 1941 M2 halftrack

They were still in use as late as 1981 with the Seabees. While I was a grunt, I remember two of them being on the LST I was on going to Korea. I looked them over while on the ship thinking they were very cool looking. I do remember both trucks had the Seabee emblem on the doors. One of the few...

Has to be one of the best trailers ever built. If you tow it behind your pick up, the biggest problem you will have is remembering it is back there. Just a great trailer. Now, you need to find the spare tire carrier for it that mounts under the rear bed. If the trailer is to be towed by a Dodge...

Bill The vin number is 80006025. The first month of production, they only made a handful, but they did make some "training models" for the military that were sold to the military for I think for $1.00 each. The training models were made before the production started. We took the number of...

Bill Yes it was! it is owned by Major Moore. The Power Wagon rally was held on his farm. He has now painted it a nice Marine green color. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

My very close friend has one of the first M37s made. He is thinking of selling it, but is clueless to a price, and so am I on this. The M37 was made on January 10th, 1951, the first month of production. Years ago, I looked up the vehicle number and it was the 11th or 13th one made (I think, to...

Chief After I posted, I got to thinking, "did I get the windshield frame from him?". The windshield frame is in a nice dry barn waiting to be put on. I have spent the last 3 years just finding the parts I needed to complete the jeep. Getting the 106 was the easy part! The M38A1C is going to be...

Chief I am building a 1955 M38A1C (M38A1 with 106 recoilless rifle). I had planned on painting it also as a Israeli 6 day war jeep, because at the time I had a lot of tan paint. I have now given the tan paint to a young Marine to paint his M35A2. So, the M38A1C will be a 1968 time frame Marine...

I think you will also like the looks of it. A Dodge WC series truck likes great in the cab area, with the brown leather transmission cover, brass fire extinguisher, and canvas seats. If you are like me, you will catch yourself just setting in the cab during the evening hours, it can be very...

100% brass. I have never seen a photo of one being painted. As far as the enemy seeing the brass extinguisher, every one I have seen was mounted under the dash area. Funny war story on the fire extinguishers. I have been collecting military vehicles for over 30 years, I have only talked to ONE...

Husker Not really, it is being saved. I have been collecting military vehicles for almost 30 years. A lot of the vehicles we have today were only saved by some one taking them and using them. Now, I am speaking mainly WWII vehicles here, so bear with me. This guy has taken a Dodge WC40 half ton...

Zspoiler I was with 2/4 ( Magnificent Bastards) on Okinawa in 1981. I saw a gamma goat flip over on a dike while we were in Korea for Team Spirit. The gamma goat was on the side of the dike driving along, then it stopped, then very slowing flipped over. As the gamma goat flipped down the hill...

Does not have to be a WC41, just because of the duels in the rear. That was the cool part about the 1/2 ton Dodge rims, you could set them up as duels on any 1/2 ton Dodge. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Warthog The new member printed he MAY have to sell the truck. He is just seeing if there is any interest so he can post it in the "for sell" forums to give us first shot at it. He is just being friendly and thinking of us. Just think how flooded the FOR SELL forum would be if every one of us...

Welcome from Newport, NC. On the problem you are having with the ENTER button, if you are trying to start a new paragraph, click on the two little "A"s in the bar (that shows the font and stuff) above this when you post again. I went crazy for months till some one posted that for me. Take care...
