Welcome. I am near the coast of North Carolina, small town called Newport (near Morehead City). Ever down at the beach stop by, I have been down sizing but still have about 15 military vehicles here. Mostly WWII. Take care. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

The last one I saw in this area (eastern North Carolina) sold for $1800. Good body, but needed to be restored, I just had to many projects. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Brake booster, I have seen them before on jeeps. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

I work on the environmental side on a Marine base. I am not buying that story that GL personal cut the hoses and drained the fluids. Sorry, I can not see it happening. Unless you tell me that the area was sealed off with crime seen tape, and the base spill response teams were there. Along with...

I have a 1944 British BSA M20 motorcycle, and getting ready to drop the hammer on a Series II military Land Rover to keep the M20 company. I will keep you posted...ok, if we get the land Rover section, I will keep you posted. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

AIE1 The jeep would have gone to DRMO with out the gun, so no, on the hard target just because it was a M151C model. Remember, the gun and mount just rolled into the back of the jeep. I think it took 3 soldiers to put it in the back of the jeep. The back legs of the mount would then clamp it...

Nooooo! on the tires, they are perfect! It is a 1957 jeep, not a 1978 CJ5 with a 304 V8, headers, and lift kit. Those tires look great on the jeep as it is restored back to a 1957 jeep. 1943ht just think of all of us here wanted you to put "chrome mags" on the your halftrack. That is one...

Scarecrow, do you have a picture of this set up? Not saying was not done, but I have never seen it, I have owned several M101s (A1s,A2s, and A3s) and I saw my share of M101s while I was in the Marines. I have seen the trailers with the M37 spare tire carrier mounted on them, on the inside of the...

Paul, If the year is listed as 1946 on your title, this was common back in the day of no computers, and no one really cared. I have been collecting military vehicles for about 30 years, and have seen a lot of incorrect titles. I have seen them where for the year of the vehicle, they would put...

Rosims, I just saw your photos of the inside of your M42 truck, wow, just great! Do you have the data plate that came with the kit? Years ago, I looked at a M37 that had the data plate on the dash. I was so tempted to take it off the truck as the place that was selling it could care less, now, I...

I hope it is! You can make money at it. My friend did it full time with his trucks. But, he was retired and did stay with the vehicles. His vehicles were not restored, and he did not keep most of them even running. When a movie asked for trucks, then he would jerry rig them to run. In a lot of...

Back in the late 1980s, they were starting to call Wilmington, NC, "Little Hollywood". A lot of movies were being made here. Then the Hollywood writers strike hit, and things kinda just died off. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

That is great!, you might want to find a way to secure the truck while you are away. It did not happen to me, but I have been told of movie companies using your vehicle when you go home. The money was very good, but I will never do it again. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

Make sure you spent every waking moment with your vehicle. I have rented to movie companies in the past. They will trash your vehicle, just be careful and stay with the vehicle. I rented 3 vehicles to one movie company and ended up selling them because they were so trashed when I got them back...

Dean, YES, that is the paint job!! At that time, Greece had released WWII jeeps, Dodges, and scout cars, all with the same "layered" paint job. One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

Dean, if your truck was a return from Greece, it has come along way in looks. The returns from Greece looked like they were repainted each year with a broom and a lot of paint. The bad, they looked nasty, the good it protected the sheet metal very well. The Greece returns where the last time I...

Gunny, the M37 looks great! Is that you in the satins? I only fit in one of my old uniform parts now........sadly, it is the scarf...One of the few, Frank USMC RET

When I went to get my first M37 while in high school back in the 1970s, I went by one of the Motor T buildings at Fort Jackson, SC. I went inside and asked a really old looking soldier, how good was a M37 was. His reply was the best. he told me, " Son, were a M37 can't go, a tank can't go". I...

Some where I have a WWII photo taken at Camp Lejeune of a Female Marine on a International truck like yours. I will try to find it this week end. One of the few, Frank USMC RET

On the fuel pump, that has "gone missin". That is easy why it is gone, the past owners got tired of rebuilding it or could not find a rebuild kit for it. With todays fuels, the fuel would eat up the diaphragm in the fuel pump. It gets to be a pain pulling the fuel pump, them a couple of weeks...
