If they are complete enough, you have one to restore to original, and one that has already been re-engined and you can modify the heck outta it. Nice save!

Very nice. There was a similar one at the railroad museum in Roanoke, VA, but it wasn't in nice shape as that one.

I agree to a point, as well. Any little bit we save is good, but the mods do destroy the authenticity of the vehicles as they served. The mods we do help us improve, sometimes, the use-ability of our vehicle to our unique needs. I guess it boils down to the fact that they are our trucks, and...

I remember reading an article in Four Wheeler from 1990 or so, where there was an old flat fender Willys with the clutch stuck to the flywheel. IIRC, they pulled the top inspection cover off the tranny, sprayed the heck outta the parts with BreakFree or something similar, and used a large...

You know you have the bug bad when we're still over 5 months out from this event and I'm already drooling over it. I love Haspin, can't wait to return!

Small world, I lived in Culpeper VA from 11/97 until 1/04. Nice town, but last time I was there a couple months back, I didn't recognize it. Sounds like an interesting trip. Glad you're back okay.

Condec - if you can't find a good condition replacement, try using JB Weld instead of POR. You will save a lot of $$$.

Hey Opie! Glad to see you're still kickin' around! Missed you at RC this year, hope you can make it to a few events in 2009...

Start at $300, and work up. It's still worth $500, but it's not a sin to be cheap. Floor pans are available out there for it, as long as you are willing to do the work with a welder. Trust me on this: there will be more rot in that body than you think. Jeep bodies are notoriously rusty...

This is the first time I have seen this show going to be in March. Most other times it's mid to late February. Maybe they are hoping for slightly warmer weather. I know it's inside, but man, winter in Jim Thorpe is COLD and WINDY!

Anyone have any info on the Red Ball show that is usually held in Jim Thorpe, PA late in February? I haven't seen anything in MVM....

Well, as before for the 1st trencher (that got scrapped), I'm in for $100. Let's start a pool to save this rare piece of equipment!

I vote a weekend earlier. That weekend was far too crowded for my tastes.

Here's a couple that one guy did: http://www.babyj.us/Index_files/Page451.htm

AMG is the man. A walking ball of green knowledge. Always a pleasure to speak with him about things OD.

??? They look like standard 6-bolt M715 rims to me.

Okay, someone here with Photoshop take that pic and put big chrome spinners on those massive wheels. PLEASE!

My opinion - if the LR is pretty cheap, save it from the weeds, and find a dedicated LR expert/restorer to take it off your hands for cost. If you're not familiar with LRs, you have a steep learning curve, best to find someone familiar with them. IMHO.

Sounds like a deal to me. There are plenty of parts sources, and even NOS engines in the crate can be found, if it turns out the motor is bad. $800 is a steal, it would be a shame to miss out on this. Oh, and.... nopics

A TRENCHER?!?! Here we go again! Post pics of the military trencher!
