I guess it would depend on what time period you want your trailer to portray. As fist issued back in the 1960s painted 24087 or painted CARC just before it left the service. I guess if you really wanted to be authentic, you could do it up in 24087 including white stencils and then paint over the...

That guy had a lot of CCKWs on his property. Reminded me of some of the farms around here 20 years ago. This area was a gold mine of 1/2 Dodges and G506s. Sadly when those farmers passed, most of that stuff went to the crusher...

I believe all of the current issue tarps (both bed & cab) are vinyl. Yes canvas can be dyed but dying something that large (even a cab top) would be a major undertaking. How about going to someplace like a boat shop, auto upolstery or bag shop and have a tarp made? Maybe one of the canvas...

Not sure. the last I heard, he'd moved to Thiland to be closer to his Wife's family. You might try Snake river 4X4 and M-series rebuild as I thought one of them was also doing the hub conversions. I just sold my M37 project and all the bits & bobs that go with it. There were two complete sets of...

I'm Not in NoVa but in Harrisonburg which is about half way down the Shenandoah Valley. Not far from the mountains....... Matt

CARNAC Scared 'em off.......... ;-) :lol:. Matt

I think APG had one in their field of hulks....Oops I mean "tanks". I remember being able to drop in through the loader's hatch(?) and have a look around inside. Augdog1964 Would you care to adopt a middle aged man as your son? :mrgreen...

Wasn't quite sure which of your two messages to quote :-P. I know about the ones on ebad (keep the MV section of that site bookmarked). I've actually got a line on a couple if I really do decide to pull the trigger. One isn't all that far from me (couple of hours away)...

I've seen one with a radio shelter in the bed which would make for better accomodations......Just say'n :whistle::driver: Matt

Ya' know, I'm starting to regret subscribing to this thread as now I think I want a 'goat [thumbzup] :smile:. Actually, an M561 is on my "got to own one of those some day" list. Matt

Looking at the cross sections in the photos I'm guessing that this carrier is not armored? Maybe just the driver's position? Matt

From what I've heard, driving a 'goat w/o it's trailer attached was rather dangerous (may have been against regs but I'm not sure) as the tractor unit with it's really short wheel base would be prone to roll overs. To answer your question, yes the M561's tractor unit can be driven without it's...

The guys I know that crew'd them all seemed to like the Bradley. I have no personal experience with them, however. I saw that movie with the mock up Bradley in it. It was a pretty stupid movie if I recall. Anyone know what the base vehicle was for that VisMod...

If no one can or is willing to help you on here, have you tried "U-ship"? Might be worth a look... Matt

If the trailer was USMC, then it's original (from the factory) color wouldn't have been 24087 (unless you're implying that the Marines stole that M416 from the Army?:smile:) The correct color would have been either the # 24052 Semi Gloss forest green or #34052 lusterless forest green...

Seems like your doing an awful lot of work to a vehicle that you have up for sale (over on Dave U's site). There was another one of these cargo carriers for sale over on ebay a while ago. It was out of Cali (& still 383 CARC green)...

Not sure how the pintle hook is attached to the rear of an M715 but fore towing my mutts, I use one of the civi jeep tow bars from one of the jeep parts places. Had the local fab shop make up a couple of replacement front tow shackle brackets that fit my civi tow bar (OEM ones were to narrow &...

Let me know when you do, I'll apply for a position. Patrol cars could be M818s.....:beer: Matt
