    Mule

    John Emery is the best. He has the parts, great advice and great to deal with. Bill Watson was a great resource and a top quality individual. John Emery took over the business and does his best to carry on the tradition Bill left. Haven't been disappointed dealing with John. Dave

    Morganton/Lenoir, NC Airport FLY IN

    Looks like fun. I usually try to make military vehicle events in NC, but went to Columbia SC today for a Vietnam Veterans welcome home celebration with my dad. We had a great time. Nice pictures of your truck and the Gamma Goat. Sounds like a good road trip. Thanks for posting Dave

    Bill Watson

    Man, Bill was always willing to help. So many stories of him going out of his way to help get a Mule going. I got my Mule after he closed his business, but John Emery suggested I call him. I talked with Bill several time and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and his helpful advice. He...

    New Member - Raleigh, NC

    Welcome from another North Carolinian. I saw some of those trucks at the Denton show. They are nice. One of the guys there with a 5 ton said it was easy to fix his CTIS on the truck and the parts were cheap. Probably another owner has some troubleshooting advice. You gotta love the...

    Denton NC mv show 2015

    I always love this show. Maybe one year I'll get one of my vehicles running. Can't wait to get a jeep there. Great people, I saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones. Got to ride in some jeeps and trucks and really learned a lot. The engineering on those vehicles is fascinating. This...

    Mine had an Artic top when I bought it. It has plywood doors. I have some pics on my album. It is stored in the shipping container. I'll have to measure the doors, but it might be a while. If I get a chance I'll send you a PM. Dave

    Repainting the motor pool: TJCOUCH

    Looks real good, after all the prep work, it seems good to make progress that that you can really see. The last Jeep I took the body off the frame and the body is still on the rotisserie. I was working on the M38A1 last night, I cleaned the frame with elbow grease and wire brush and preped it...

    Fuel Tank Rust Removal

    Saw the Evapo rust demo at the car show in Raleigh. Pretty impressive. if it works like I saw it should be great, but things don't always work as well for me when I get home. Next year I may try some to soak bolts in. The problem is the need for so much to soak large parts in. Since the...

    need help with Bumperette markings on M38A1

    I have a 1955 M38A1 and need help figuring out the unit markings on the rear bumperettes. The left bumperette has USAR. I assume this to mean US Army Reserve? Was this common? I haven't seen any more with this on the web. The right has A-111. I figure this must be Alpha Co. 111th. The...
