    MV of the month October 2024 nomination

    Managed to build this truck this year along with our pioneer trailer and M-56B1 for the Findlay show. Had it less than a year, lots of welding can rockers, fenders, new drivers door, newer tires, new fuel tanks, 6 gallons of primer and 9 gallons of paint, tarp troop seats kit

    Need help identifying my new M-37 auction find

    Troop seats holes in bed is all I really see other than antenna mounts. The troop seats themselves have some holes but not sure they've always been with the truck by the paint. There is a cable passage between the cab and bed

    Need help identifying my new M-37 auction find

    Thank you so much for the info, tires all dates Goodyear 1954 unfortunately engine is gone so original generator all gone too but I agree this one is probably going to be one of the easier trucks to get back together

    Need help identifying my new M-37 auction find

    Ok guys I recently got a new to me M-37 project truck at auction, it is probably the best shape candidate that I've seen. Engine is out of it, there was one in the bed on a stand. It obviously isn't correct as it has 6 volt equipment on it. I also got another engine in the round metal military...

    Wanted: M-816 or M-936A2 wrecker bed parts or whole bed

    I'm looking at a M-936A2 that has been overloaded and damaged the shipper, lift cylinders, steel lines that go to boom winch, and assuming the inner boom extension cylinder. Would be open to a whole wrecker bed to part out or just the parts I need if someone is parting one out

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Been working on getting the M-51 ready for painting. Mad dash just a couple of weeks to get it done for the Portland Indiana MVPA show. Got them all lined up along the tracks so I have room to start painting next week. Nevermind the bobcat and the bucket truck lol

    M1101 tail lights?

    These lights are the omnivolt models and should be good for 12-24 volts without any mods. Just make u a pigtail adapter for military to civilian truck and they work just fine

    Gasser help

    M51 with new fuel tank on it, came to find it today with a ton of pressure on it from thermal expansion. Had a vent hooked up to the top of the tank, a non-vented cap. Found it had pushed a ton of fuel into the engine oil pan talking gallons. Drained everything, checked vent with a vacuum pump...
