Thanks guys! I will definitely start a thread on the project once I get it here. I'm having to pay a transport company to haul it 2500 miles to where I live and I won't be doing that until April. But, without fail, I will document my project here! I'll be tapping the Steel Soldier community's collective experience along the way. It's going to be great!

Great!

A treat to look forward to. That will be good.

I better stock up on more salt and butter. opcorn:

The man I'm buying the M152 from sent me a video of the engine compartment today. Everything looks exactly as he described. All stock and complete! I can't wait to bring her back to life. Here's where you can see the video- www.facebook.com/familianomad

Anybody here know what the interior height is of the rear box area of the M43/M152?

An amazing turn of events in the tiny town that I live in. I have met a retired fire fighter that has two M37's, an M211, and two M43's! He just recently acquired the 43's and is excited about my 152. He's very experienced with the M trucks and has a really nice shop. We've decided to work on his 43 and my 152 together starting in the spring! He even paints military vehicles. I'm just blown away to have that kind of resource just three miles from where I live and in a rural town of only 10,000 people! I am super blessed!

That is very cool; congratulations (and to both of you really; everything is always more fun with a buddy).

I sure hope you'll maybe post some pics of the projects.

Fear not Ahab. I'm a professional photographer. There will be plenty of pics and documentation of the build! It's killing me having to wait for this thing til April!
