Todd,
I'm in Kenosha, WI but would be willing to travel across WI and IL to check out any good salvage yards.

I usually buy from GL for my big stuff, I use a lot of different vendors for new and used parts.

I don't believe there are any mil. veh. salvage yards in WI. The yards close to Sparta were all cleaned out over the past 10-15 years of this stuff. I knew a good one in Tomah, but that is all gone now. Now, equipment is purchased and scrapped out almost immediately to recover the money.

The only salvage yards left that I know are full of hondas and toyotas!

What about C.L. Chase in Camp Douglas? He might be worth a shot if he is still in business. He had a lot of the older mil stuff at one time. I haven't been there in 15 yrs though, so I don't know.
Here is his info:

Not sure what kind of parts you are looking for but I dd see several Deuces and a shop van or 109 at Erickson Truck & Parts on the East Frontage road down your direction. I was last there about two years ago for dumptruck parts.

Scott,
You are definitely right about that one. It's a sad day when you know at least half to three quarters of those vehicles were sent to "deep" by being scrapped. Sign of the times I guess...
TBob,
I haven't heard about his shop but I'll wander up that way and took a peak eh? I'll make sure to post any information or pictures of vehicles when I get up there! I am looking for specific parts for a few vehicles, so anything else isn't really on my list.
T Highway,
Oh really? Wow.. I'll head over there sometime this week and see what's available! I wouldn't mind purchasing a Deuce & 1/2 to add to my collection..
Thanks for all your gentleman and I look forwarding to updating you guys with anything I find!
