Memphis charges for Fenders?
I think they were $280-290 somewhere around that. As far a shipping I have no idea because I sent someone to pick them up to save shipping costs.
Looks great. It should be a great looking truck once it's all painted up in 24087. If you need markings for it once it's done, just let me know. I've been cutting them for a while now and have them for M35's. http://home.thinkextreme.net/~schwarzd/
John at Memphis went out of his way to help me out when I ordered my new front fenders. I had a couple of racers from my shop heading to Memphis for a race and figured I would have them pick my items up to save the frieght charges. Memphis Equip strips and reprimes thier NOS front fenders...
I took both my deuce and my M715 to a local 4x4 show. They drew quite the crowds around them and I must have answered a million questions over the coarse for the day. The .50 cal on the M715 was a big hit as everyone wanted to climb in the bed and have thier picture taken like they were...
This guy on ebay has them up all the time. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfromZR9QQfromZR9QQfrppZ25QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsassZrmedges2lo0QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEFSRCHQ3aSRCH
I got mine from him 2 years ago for my M715. It's a nice looking piece and most people don't even notice that it's a resin...
Looks good! If you are thinking about putting markings on it, let me know. I've been making them for the M715 guys on the M715zone.com for a couple of years now and now that I have a deuce I've been making them also. I recently put up a little web page for them. Delta Team Decals...
I've had a similar problem with my pass. door. The inside handle works fine but the outer does nothing. After pulling out the mechanism from the door I could see what the problem was. When you turn the outer handle, it turns an eccentric ring with an ear off one side. That ear pushes against...
Yep, air tanks were relocated due to the hydralic pump for the dump bed. I'm hoping to modify a spare mount to put it back on the truck in the stock location and moving the air tanks up a little more to where the pioneering rack should be. I bought the truck with the dump mod already done, or...
24087 green is kind of funny. In some light it looks brownish, and in some light it looks more blackish. I really like that about it. Helps it blend into the background colors.
It's the large show & swap meet held every year in Clare at General Jim's. It's put on by the http://www.greatlakesmvpa.org and will be the weekend of Aug. 25-27 2006
Thanks guys,
wallew, The truck is painted with Gillespie #24087 green. It's the proper green for 60's era US Army trucks.
Armada, The markings are ones that I made myself. I have been making them for the M715 guys for a couple of years now. I just started making them for the deuce since I...
I took some new pics the other day of my restored M35 that I finished up last Nov. It snowed before I could get some decent pics of it completed. Now that the snow is gone I took some recent pics. Enjoy!
Nope the dump was on the truck when I bought it. It looks like it was pulled from a standard dump truck and fitted under the duece. The lift is a Venco # VC520. You are welcome to come down anytime to take a closer look if you need.
I will definately be reminding everyone once it gets closer to the time of the show. I just wanted to get it out there so people could get an idea of when it will be.
ojsdna744, your truck doesn't have to be perfect to show up. There will be military vehicles in all forms of stages there...
Well things have gone ahead and we are going to hold the 1st annual Silver Lake Sand Dunes Military vehicle show & swap meet this fall. It will be held in conjunction with the Fall Apple Festival on Sat. Sept. 16th. I'm doing all the organizing for the event for the Silver Lake Chamber of Comm...
Hey forklift, I would be interested in the rear canvas and end curtains. How much do you want for them? I'm down at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, I could shoot up to Benzonia to pick it up and not have to worry about shipping it. All I need is just the canvas as I already have all the bows for...
I've been watching it all week waiting to bid on the last day. I need it to finish off my truck because the PO used to haul trees and the branches ripped several holes in the back of it. If somebody snipes me for it I jst might drive the deuce over to their house and park it on them.
