    What tracked armor options do I have these day?

    Watch for size and weight. A M5 Stuart is the largest tank you can put on a semi with out over size, and over weight permits. And because a Sherman is over size, you will also need front and rear escorts. A Halftrack, or a M20 /M8 is the best choice. Weight and size wise, you can put both on a...

    Is this WW2?

    I agree that it is civilian. and post war. The fenders are only drilled for a single bucket light. If it was Military, one fender would have a headlight, and a blackout marker light. The other fender would have a 3rd hole for a blackout driving light. But, I'm married, so I'm told I'm wrong...

    My WC63 My Dad, who was my best friend, was in WW2. He was in the Dixie Division. And one of the strongest memories I have as a kid, besides Church with him and Mom, is setting around on Saturdays watching all the old WW2 movies, and programs, Combat, 12 O’clock High, The Rat Patrol, Silent...

    Clutch_Transmission Issues

    What weight gear oil are you using. If it is too heavy, it will make it harder to get the gears not moving, up too speed.

    Oil pressure drops when engine warms up.

    For what it is worth, the manual says 30 to 50 OVER 30 mph. I have seen some really low at idle. Also single weight oil will thin as it gets hot. I have seen somewhere that down to 8 is OK at idle. But can't find it now. I'll keep looking.....
