M151 2/2acr 82-84

[L1A1]

Yeah Riv-Rad is a good company to deal with. Another good company with speedy service is Front Line Military Vehicles up in Pa. www.flmv.net Another great company is Rapco out of Texas http://www.rapcoparts.com/ Brought a lot of stuff off of them when I was restoring my M151A1.

Thanks , I have gotten some parts from both of them, great service, getting a stockpile of parts built up while I strip the body and get it ready for paint.

You might want to check you rear springs. It is my understanding that TOW jeeps had heaver springs in them and therefore when empty would ride higher and different. On m151A1 it was a concern because of the toe in caused by the heaver springs on the A-arms, on the A2 it may not be as bad, but still something to check out and replace if they are the M825 springs.

Thanks for the reminder it has crossed my mine, the rear wheels do turn in at the bottom a little with everything stripped of the truck, I see the overload spring and a reg spring for rear in the parts manual , shows a spacer top and bottom for the overload springs, so I will have to check it when it comes back from the painter and see what I have on the truck

Are you going with the 4 color desert or straight tan?
Nice rig, just wish all I had was a few extra holes to contend with.

Hey dude!

Was standing in about the same place as your first picture about 14 days ago. Post is closed, but I got in with the help of one of the guards. Did a lot of work for the army there as a contractor. Sad its closed. I was stationed in Bamberg 1973-1979 and 1980-1985. I was in C-3/7 ADA.

Take care and wish you a nice day!
