    Cargo Covers - how to bend?

    It's time to put the top on the Duece. However several of the top bows are broken beyond repair (got it that way). Is there a good way to bend the wood to match the bend of the other pieces? Thanks for any help.

    Tires - best place to purchase

    I re-read the rules and I think I am safe to ask this question - Where have member purchased tires for their trucks? Any place to avoid? My M43 is going to need all four replaced. Plus I need a rim and tire for the spare. Todd

    So has anybody found a good way to remove the numbers that GL paints on the side, hood, bumper, etc of their vehicles? I'm not planning on striping her down and repainting this year, so . . . other options?

    Am I Nuts?

    I am restoring a 1952 M37 with my son. We decided to do a frame-off restoration, which will take longer than we first thought. So my son says - Dad I'm a senior and I really wanted a military truck to drive for my senior year - can we get another one?? I want a "big one". I stated if we could...
