    MAN KAT US owners?

    Guy I have all the texts downloaded and they're stored on my desk top. I think I need to start looking for someone to translate these manuals into English. Should I copy them on a disc and have them translated by a reliable party, and then printed in English for the mechanics? Then I can down...

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Johan, most of the M275 trucks I've observed do not run mud flaps. But here is a good picture of an M275 with mud flaps and rear tail lights. Personally I like running mud flaps.

    MAN KAT US owners?

    A few more pictures. Is anyone familiar with the logo on the door?? If it is relevant to the trucks history, we might like to include it when the trucks repainted.

    MAN KAT US owners?

    Looks like I found the right thread for this restoration project. This vehicle appears to be a MAN KAT1 5Ton (correct me if I'm wrong). A friend of mine purchased this former US ARMY truck about 3 years ago in Reno Nevada from GP. He had some other projects to finish first, and now would like to...

    Saving one from scrap-needs adopted

    Dave, Olive Drab has the M211 weighing 11,000. The Chaplin is real close, without the bed I'd guess 9,500-10,000lbs.

    Saving one from scrap-needs adopted

    Dave, wish you an easy and uneventful move this weekend. Wish I still resided in So. Cal. I'd come down and lend you a hand. I love seeing an old MV get rescued from abandonment and get a new lease on life. Last year we had a 1941 Chevrolet G506 1 1/2 Ton truck get rescued from a vacant lot here...

    So I bought this...burma jeep

    Bull, this bomb carrier has been in this storage yard for probably 30+ years. I will assume the yard is run by a hoarder as vehicles come in but never go out. It looks as though someone tried to use plywood and 2X4s to make it a closed cab. The engine and drivetrain are complete as is the hoist...

    So I bought this...burma jeep

    We have a bomb carrier version in a storage yard in town that looks pretty complete. It still has the NAVY markings on the hood and was probably used here at the munitions depot during WW2. Got some errands to run so I'll stop and take some pics.
