I'll be definatle looking into a spare m37 rim and used tire from you Ted once I get there.

Well, we are a week away and I have not really seen a Clare only thread. So I'll be bringing a bunch of decals with me again. If anyone needs anything custom, now is the time to let me know so that I can get them done to bring with me. I will also be parts shopping so if anyone coming has...

Yep could be from a 5 ton long bed like the ones in this pic

Call Pierre Jalving over in Holland, MI. He had some not to long ago when I was down there picking up stuff for myself. He's at 616.335.9301

I recently finished off a AFV Club M38a1 model build. It went together nicely. I used a can of Averole 24087a to paint it. And marked it like one of the M38a1's that my father drove while with the 226th ASA in the 60's.

Also don't forget that there is the show and swap meet in Silver Lake on Sept. 13. This the 3rd year for the show and it keeps growing each year. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=23667 As far as Clare, if anyone has a set of M37 fuel can brackets they...

Show is getting closer.

Yep, paint was fresh and still wet there.

Remember, mine is a tipper. The air tanks were moved outboard to make room for the rear facing, pto driven hydralic pump and tank. I do not seem to get much thrown back at the cab, most all of it goes out the back. Heavy mud will sometime make the trip up and around the tire, but it is not...

When I did my deuce, I didn't feel the need to go as far as I had done on my M715 restoration. So I just blasted a few items and went at it with paint and primer. The bed was in rough shape so I found a replacement and had it stripped. All in all he charged me $700 to blast the bed, troop...

You also have to make sure to use radial tubes and not the bia style. I have Swamper radials on my stock M715 with split rings. What you didn't say is how wide the tire is. That is the important thing with a 6.5 wide rim. Anything exceesiveily wide will wear funny on the road.

Chuck, are you going to paint it straight 383 green or are you going to do 3 color on it after the base coat? Need anything markings wise let me know.

Yep, I have been making the proper SeaBee logo's in either decals or paint masks. Amanco was kind enough to provide me with a good clean copy of the logo he had. They can been puchased from my decal site at: http://www.i2k.com/~schwarzd/

I would also have an interest depending on the price. Is it the really dark older canvas or the newer greener canvas?

I know with the fuel prices this year that it is going to be hard on most folks to get to a lot of shows. That's why I wanted to get this out there early on so that people could plan for it well in advance. It should be a great show again.

This is the 3rd annual Military Vehicle Show & Swap meet which is part of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes Apple & BBQ Festival. The Show is on saturday September 13th 2008 and runs from 10am to 4pm. This will be the third year for this show and it just seams to be getting better and bigger. Plus...

Here are a few pics from the local parade here. I brought all 3 trucks out for the parade. As usual we loaded those vets who could no longer make the color march through town into the back of the trucks. All of them are very thankful that I bring the trucks so that they can still participate...

I have my eye on a 5 ton wrecker that I might pick up if the price drops a little more. My problem with a 5 ton is that I'm running out of garage/workshop space to store one. :lol:

Thanks, guys. No museum, just a big garage! And for some reason I seam to have enough space for an additional MV just about the size of a M38a1 or Mutt left. :lol:

Thanks, I though those might be the right ones, but just wanted to double check.
