Thanksfor the info, Kenny. Sorry, I was having one of those dee-dee-dee moments....

A little off topic, sorry.... Any M936s on DRMS? :)

I just burned through a set of front tires on my deuce like it's noone's business. When I got the deuce 4500 miles ago, all the tires were new. The front ones are 30% on the driver's side, and 10% at best on the passenger's side. On the flat and level, I don't see any noticeable...

He's a credit to Steel Soldiers, and a great man. Well, he's a good man. Well, he's alright I guess. No seriously - I owe CARNAC a lot for all the help he has been to me in the hobby. Wish we had more in the hobby like him. Miss him here in the MD/VA area, but I'm sure living in GA is...

It may very well be the 400 Hz version - most of the electrical stuff related to missiles and rockets, even used by the Army, was done in 400 Hz, similar to the electrical items used on aircraft by the Air Force and Navy. It might be original, but for your purpose, unless you have a Pershing...

Love the bowtie-shaped hole in the front bumper. The CUCV IIs and CUCV IIIs weren't bought in numbers like the original CUCVs were. They are out there, I remember one Steel Soldier bought a CUCV II not too long ago. They will start coming out in due time, but the $$$ will be higher than the...

Sent him a PM and left a message on his cellphone, no answer as of yet. Hopefully he gets my message before he goes there again. :( As a backup, is there anyone else near Eglin that might be willing to swing by and get my tent for some beer money, and bring to GA rally?

DAMMIT. Joe, thanks for the info, please let me know for sure when you find the pics or not. I thought that M37 gun trucks were going to be unique, something that few have done, but the more I poke, the more they have already been done... :roll: Maybe a better thread would be: what M37...

Better without the candles for now. From above, it would make it look like the CUCV burst into flames by itself. Then again, that wouldn't be far from the truth. ;)

Okay, I'm decided - I'M BUILDING MR. NICE. Thanks for the applause, will start my quest of finding a good-running and non-cancerous M37 to start the build shortly. driver523 - will be calling you shortly to find more details of the trucks such as radios, markings, colors, etc. The pictures...

Looks awesome, keep up the good work! Plan to put any canvas over the bed?

I just got my Paid in Full invoice, is it too late to have someone pick up my tent and bring to the Georgia Rally? Please let me know, otherwise I have to find a shipper quick.

Good job, Bjorn, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the pics, driver523 ! I will be sending you a PM for more details. I have my project narrowed down to Mr. Nice or Wild Honey. I'm tempted to build the former, from the pics I can see, it would be slightly easier to build (good, considering I've never built one), plus Mr. Nice...

Yes, the M125 cargo trucks were built in the mid-to-late 1950s, and they were powered with a LeRoi TH-844 V8 gas engine with 297bhp at 2600rp, which at the time was the only wheeled vehicle in inventory with an 8-cylinder engine. I believe the early M123 tractors also had this engine, before...

Not military, I'm sure of that. But it's too well-made to be a hill-billy job. Must be a hill-william job.

Nice job, Stretch! Glad to see my old laundry trailer is coming in handy!

What is that thing on the end in the first pic? Looks like someone tried making a HMMWV replica on a M151 chassis. Great pics!
