I thought the "Kee" bird might come up on this thread. I really tried to avoid it as we have a family friend that lost $$$$ in that deal. Anyhow, yes it was the APU but it was a makeshift fuel tank that was hanging in the tail. The APU was running as required for flight to help support...
Well thats the whole idea for the re-engine program that the CAF came up with. There are only 2 other B-29's that have the hopes of ever taking to the air once again in private hands. The CAF went to both owners to try a joint effort and have a bunch of engines made. One did not have the engines...
Just some added info. "Fifi" just like her sisters during war time were plaigued with engine problems due to a bad design in the engine itself. After ww 2, later versions of the R3350 were developed and were much more reliable then the version used on the B-29. After MUCH financial strain...
Well if your going to use her as a run around truck, it will work for you. Get her home and like what was mentioned before.......SAVE EVERYTHING IN THE BED until identified with better pics. The troop seat frames are hard to come by even if you dont use them right away.

I did buy a bunch of 5 ton fording kits for the gasser. I mannaged to...

Well before you rent a trailer, take the 2 hr drive and go look underneath that thing. The locations you want to look at is at the back of the frame rails that run the lengith of the body at the fwd attach point of the rear A-arms. Then the cross member that they attach too can be rotted to...
Well before you pull out the gun and shoot yourself in the foot. Go on the G838 site and surf around. Yea I would be leery on what your buying for that price but please remember..........a running rewelded M151 that may need paint and some tinkering will be 3 to 5 K and the rewelds that look...
