I'm planning on coming over on Saturday to see what I can find and I'm also planning on bringing a couple of my lighted M38a1 Jeep grills to sell. They are perfect for the man cave or garage wall of any MV collector.
Yep, I plan on being there with my M715 and I paid the extra to be in the display tent. I'll be hanging out around it all week, feel free to stop by and say hi.
Nope, that was me who bought the carb/manifold from you. Thanks.
I had a great time there and was able to pick up a few bits and pieces for a couple of projects I'm working on to finish before South Bend. One thing I still need to find though is 3 of the front blackout marker lights off the...
Want the most room? Ditch the spring ride seat for the old box style seat. I'm 6'4" 250 and have plenty of room in mine with the box style seat. I climbed into a buddies one time that had the spring seat, and it was way to cramped for me to drive. I would rather have the comfort of fitting over...
Looks like faded OD#24087 as it tends to turn a brownish drab color with 50 years of sun fading. That will look good behind either a M37 or M715 truck. As for trailer markings, check this page out. www.deltateamdecals.com They have marking sets in both paint mask and decal for very reasonable...
I would agree, that it was probably repainted with the forest green when it went through the depot rebuild in 73' and with all the changes happening around that time period on color and markings with going subdued it makes sense what you have found. I agree with you that it will look it's best...
Seeing that you are on the east coast, getting it from Army Jeep Parts in PA. might make for cheaper shipping. It is the same Gillespie paint that Rapco sells. Just be aware that the hazmat charge by UPS that both of them have to charge makes shipping pretty expensive. The hazmat charge is by...
The plan as of now is to get down there with at least one of my trucks. Last year a guy had a bunch of M38a1 grills he was selling and we picked one up that the boy and I turned into wall art. We enjoyed the project so much, I might look to buy more of them and make a few up.
Thanks for the recommendation, I can help you with every thing you need and can make MP markings. We have been helping Steel Soldier members for years with their marking needs, plus saving them a little bit on the kits.
A lot will depend on the surface of the paint. If it is the flat CARC paint, then don't plan on the decals lasting too long as the rough flat surface just doesn't make for a good surface. If it is a smoother semi-gloss then you will have no problems. Cleaning the surface free of oils and waxes...
I would think it would be easier to use something like a Sky Trak telescoping fork lift and then build an armored box to go on the fork attachment. Parts would be a lot easier to find and maintain than a long out of production surplus vehicle. During this weeks event in New Jersey they had a...
