    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    I restored a WC51 back in the 90's and had used a harness from VWoM. Think I paid around $600.00 dollars for it back then. I haven't looked but I'm assuming that they have gone up considerably? Stands to reason I guess as wires are made up of copper & copper is a traded commodity. I really liked...

    I'm not a reenactor but I must admit that I've always wanted to try my hand at building a VisMod. Not sure what I'd like to attempt, though. Matt

    223 german armored car

    There was also one built out of (fairly heavy)steel on a cut down Ford F250 frame. It was only two wheel drive using a cadilac V8 mounted in the rear. The guys from GD had it back in the early to mid 1990s. Mike Shoaler(sp?) restorations down in Florida (whatever happened to him?)was building...

    Restoration Finished - Roll Out Today

    I guess it's because the passenger usually outranked the driver? Both my M37s had the bed mounted spare which I liked anyway. A friend of mine had the door mounted spare on his which he thought looked good but admitted was a giant PITA when you had to get in or out of the truck...

    What to put in a M151 for display?

    With regard to weather or not A2s were used in RVN, from what I was told the US Military predominately used the M151A1s while M151A2s were shipped over & given to the ARVN as replacements for lost A1s. There is an M151 owner's club in Saigon and all of the M151s shown are M151A2s. According to...

    It is required in Va if you're not going the antique route. Both of my M151A2s needed them (I put regular tags on 'em instead of antique). Matt
