Anyone going up from So Cal? -Ken Beaumont, CA

Hi All: I am starting this thread specifically for the M36 / M49 machine gun ring, as will be installed on my 1968 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2. I understand they were installed in military units, but I have not seen proof. This ring weighs about 80-90 pounds, which makes it MUCH lighter than the M66...

Hi All: I’m installing an M49/M36 gun ring on my 1968 M35A2. I have the ring and will be fabricating the rest. I need some pics of an installed support plate in the rear of the cab, if anyone could help me out. I’ve already reconditioned and repaired the carriage and have a M2 cradle that’s...

Hi All: I have just received what appears to be an M36 gun ring with trolley; no legs or other hardware. I will possibly need to do some electrical work on another old mil truck to make it an even deal. The question is, would this ring be totally NOT appropriate for the M35A2? I really like...

Hi All: Can anyone provide a Deuce or 5 ton for a parade in Santa Clarita this July 4th, to carry a group of former Marines? Please contact Ken at 909-534-2628 (me, the Poster) and I will relay contact info. I am trying to get more details now, and will post as they become available. THANKS

Hi All: I tried a Search to no avail. Is there a NAPA or other brand carb kit for the original Hurricane engine? I am in the process of buying my first M715 and need to make it operable; it has sat outside for over ten years. (I will be pulling the spark plugs and looking into the cylinders...

Hi All: What are these parts used on? Were they used on M151s? THANKS!!

Located at Camp Pendleton: Thanks!

The item I want is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY I am really pissed at GovPlanet. There is a trailer I want; the item description lists it as being in Lathrop, CA. I called GP and said I want the address, because I want to know if it's at a private storage yard where I would have to pay a...

So, as a new owner of an M151A1, I was confused about the hub nuts, how to take them off, how they were designed, etc. In TM 9-2320-218-20, Fig. 2-296 on page 2-179 you can see the lifting eye and locknut, but the copy I have does not offer a clear picture. I had also heard various comments...

Hey All: I am currently collecting missing parts for my -A1 project; the blackout headlight is missing, and that's the next item on my list. Can someone post or email a couple of detail pictures of the correct one, or post which assembly if used on other trucks such as the M35A2, 5-ton...

M151A1: Is this the wrong starter or Bendix? Hi All: This Bendix stays engaged (makes ratcheting noise when turning the engine over by hand), does not seem stuck, and I've never seen one like it. It came out of the vehicle, not loose. Ratcheting faces: Is it the wrong one for my M151A1? If...

Hey All: Just got this M151 today and was wondering if anyone would like to say what's on their mind about it. I have restored a WWII Dodge WC-43 and repainted and maintain a 1968 M35A2. I will start restoring this jeep in a few months after I take care of some loose ends and sell the WC-43. I...

Hey All: I will be joining a convoy from Devore, CA to Amboy, CA and am looking for contact info for heavy hauler flatbed in case of breakdown. I know they are out here as I saw them many times at the Gov Liq yard in Fontana, CA but never thought to ask for their info....

So...... Is $450 each plus shipping and possibly tax the best deal for new 11.00-20 tires today??? This price at Coker Tire. I have been buying 12- to 15-year-old tires with like-new tread but they are cracking deeply through the tread and the sidewalls are cracking a bit, too. I cannot afford...

Hi All: Melanie Carter at Memphis Equipment was very kind in sending me a few smartphone snapshots of a training aid they own. Hope some people find these interesting (I did!):

For all you guys who were in-country Vietnam or have seen this: I was meeting some vets for a parade this last November and one of them said I ought to make and install a wire-cutter on the front bumper, like what the M-38s and M151's had (this is the pole made of angle iron with a hook at the...
