Here what it looked like when i got it home years ago

I have this 1953 m101 for 6 years. It came from a gentleman in Romney WV that bought it from the town when they had there civil defense program. It had what look like a old 10kw military generator on it probably. Couldn’t tell what he should it to me but I don’t remember what it was. But...

it’s funnier then it looks trust me

Had a great time! Good stuff out there. Finally found a m101 cover and a 20 buck ak bayonet not disappointed at all. Son also got custom dog tags. Also put my m1009 in for the judging never done that before it was cool. Wish i could do Saturday but have to work.

Nice trailer. I just choose Maggie ferguson red from tractor supply. Looks like the CD from WV painted it what looks like a flat red or red oxide primer. My guess leans towards the primer color. I like how you painted the split ring i may do that to mine to make it pop more. It's going to look...

thinking of leaving work early today and head up there, but there calling for rain is it worth the trip?

I choose MF red from TSC and Beur 383 so I could have some left over todo my m1009 when I ever replace the hood on. But the red color makes it stand out!!!! I used the purple gun from harbor freight not going to lie but I did a pretty good job both in the beur and Majic paint. With it all said...

Been hard at work on this, man what a project. I fixed the rust hole, scraped, sanded primed and painted and the hard work paid off not a 100% job this is my first job with a spray gun I usually use raddle cans but I don't think I did that bad of a job. I found some decals for it and was able to...

Not going to make it rather make money then spend it got another ford finish.

You need to do more research there buddy. Dirt every day just did a episode on this no to long ago. There already 50 state legal and don't require a dpf or doc they just have a egr. All they have to do is meet the NOx and particulate specs for the chassis rating. Diesel engines have different...

Well there you go then I live in md so I had to make sure my ass was covered with your strick emissions standards because for some reason a lot if are new diesel coming in have California idle stickers on them and they SUCK!!!! I guess it's cheaper to make a one shoe fits all truck.

Diesel emissions have to match the emissions of when the chassis was made meaning what ever the diesel emission was for diesels in your state at the time like the mid 80s it has to match or be better. So unless your California it was almost nothing. So you can put a new Diesel engine in a 1986...

Looking for 2 m1009 wheels and some m101 tarp bows if there decently priced. Takeing the m1009 to the show don't think the m101 going to make it got to much to do with it in so short of time.

Well thank you it is a great find for its age and shape too. I noticed something today, a old CD decal over one of the stars that was most of the way peeled of. Looks like a old CD property decal, what do you guys think. I noticed black ops trailer had one when he got it. Might be the same one...

Well the weather was so nice Saturday I broke out the pressure washer and started cleaning this thing looks pretty good. As I was washed a fellow member saw me and stopped by small world in this hobby. So the wood cleaned up nice not to bad for 60+ year old wood it will sand down and paint over...

Agreed!!!

Ok after getting some work done I got the bed all cleaned up, hinges lubed and tires filled only to 25psi I don't trust those tubes they may be from 53!!! But I got some good pics today bed is in perfect shape for its age there's only one rust spot that looks it can easily be fixed with a welder...

So I finally found my trailer a 1953 m101, since it is a 53 I thought it was pretty cool that it was built during the Korean War so that has to say something. The story is that it lived its life in a guard unit in West Virginia and then was given to the civil defense in the early 60s at some put...
