    Salute to No. American Aircraft at the Western Museum of Flight, Torrance, CA

    Heya, Maynard83! Thanx for the offer... depending on the feedback we get from this event, we may do more events with military vehicles. Much as I love old aircraft, I definately have more than a little "treadhead" in me! I'll be out on the ramp all day, amongst all the wings and wheels...

    Heya, y'all! Got a little cash flow going again so time to renew the search. I have a XM152 and am in search of the following off of either a M43 or XM152: 1. Rear step, when folded up acts as rear center seat. 2. Rear door swing arms. Go from inner top corners of door to inside corner...

    M37 pulled from service

    Heya, y'all! I have a picture somewhere, that shows a MERDC desert camoed M37 at Yuma Proving Ground that was still in service late 1980's / 1990. Not so surprising considering how long .45 cal M1911A1's, M35 series, and many other pieces remain in service. Russ Proud son of Rose and Wes XM152

    M43 folding step

    Hiya, M813A1! Not a common piece, I know, I'm looking for one for my XM152. I get the impression that these kinda "got in the way" because most old M43's have them removed or broken off. Don't know that the M43 step actually folds as it serves as the medic orderlys seat when in the "up"...

    Dimensions needed for M37 troop seat

    Hello, y'all! Hopefully this isn't too wacky a question... I am looking for various dimension for the rear troop seats out of a M37 to see how close they would be to what I need for my XM152. I need: 1. Overall length of seat from front edge to rear edge. 2. Height of seat from bed deck 3...

    Parts wanted for a XM152

    Heya, Hndrsonj! Thanx for the pix! Yup, those are definately exCanadian M152's with single rear doors. From the pictures I've seen, the CDN M152's didn't have the folding rear step / rear seat that M43's have. The one other USAF XM152 I've seen pix of didn't have it either, but my truck still...

    Parts wanted for a XM152

    Hello, y'all! I'm looking for the following for my XM152: 1. Rear step. Same as off a M43 ambulance. These evidently got in the way and were broken / taken off frequently. 2. Rear bench seats. Like the troop seats in a M37, but the uprights are longer and bolt to the inside walls of the...

    xm152

    Hiya, y'all! Yep, I've heard of 'em because I have one. It's basically a M43 ambulance minus the medical equipment in back. It also doesn't have the roof mounted spotlight, and is missing the surgical lamp in back. My truck probably had the bench seat like the one on evilBay. Used for a...

    M170 usaf 1962 what color was used?

    Hiya, Ambulance! It being an Air Force vehicle, more than likely it would be finished in Strata Blue, federal specification 25045. I had bought what I thought was a M43 ambulance that actually turned out to be a rare XM152, so I've done a little bit of research into the Air Force colors...

    Intro and seeking info on the XM152

    Hiya, Bigbee, and all! Bigbee, I have a question for you... the pictures you posted showing the restored XM152, do you know if the rear bench seats were added or in the vehicle when bought? I ask because my truck has signs that it could have had bench seats on both sides: the uprights that...
