So I have completed my move to the new location, and getting set up for the next MV project which is refurbishing the CUCV 1009 I got from Scrounger's estate. A noticed several of the fittings where the antenna mounting brackets go into the side body sheet metal are either seized up (can't...

Getting things lined up for a move in about a month. If you have any recommendations about a good shipper for a fair price let me know. Items to be moved are a running CUCV M1009 (approx. 5500 lbs) plus a M332 ammo trailer (2700 lbs). Distance to be travelled is from Front Royal VA to the...

I went to Fair Radio a couple weeks back with a friend. I was all about going to post an update in my existing thread about Fair Radio, just posting up pics and whatnot, when I got an email from same friend. He heard that Fair Radio Sales, which has been a mainstay in the surplus and vintage...

Anyone have any good tips or products for safely removing old paint from the rubber parts of our MVs? I have multiple layers of old CARC paint that was just slathered onto my CUCV, and I want to get it off the rubber window seals around the windshield and the back glass without damaging the old...

I looked though the past threads and didn't see anyone posted up about this show. Who's going this time around? Coming up next weekend, I'm already starting to get my gear ready to pack. Here's more details, here: RED BALL EVENTS

It is with a heavy heart that I must report of the passing of one of our members, Andrew T. Lukaesko, also known as Scrounger on this forum. He has been a long-time collector of MV stuff for decades, active in the hobby and a frequent show-goer to Aberdeen MV shows as well as other local events...

I went out to New Castle, PA, to visit a friend of mine last week, had an extra day so we decided to make a day trip out to west Ohio and visit Fair Radio Sales. He had visited them a couple decades ago at their old place, I had never been to Fair Radio at either location, so this was a treat...

Operation Organizational Maintenance and Ordnance Field and Depot Maintenance for 10-ton, 4-Wheel Flat Bed Trailer, M345. 1957 edition.

Received via email, hate to be the bringer of bad news but here's the facts: "Hello Red Ball Vendors, It is with a great deal of sadness that I have to tell you that the Red Ball Gilbert, PA show is cancelled this year. This was not our wish to cancel the show and here is the reasons for...

Is anyone from the No.VA/MD/So.PA area going down to the GA rally later in October? I have 4-6 geared lug nut wrenches that may need a ride down there, seeing if someone could spare a little room. Meeting around the I-81/I-66 intersection, or thereabouts.

I remember it wasn't too long ago I met someone who painted their truck with a brush and roller - the results were surprisingly good! I'm not talking about show-grade or anything like that, but I was surprised how good it turned out. Anyone painted their military truck with a roller? What...

I used to sell surplus for a living bout 15-20 years ago. Back then, I bid on auctions all the time from Tobyhanna PA in the north, as far south as Ft. Bragg in NC, and as far west as Ft. Campbell in KY/TN. I covered a LOT of area. Back when you had to bid on the auctions in person, before...

Got my tables paid for, about 3-1/2 weeks away right now. Who's planning on attending this start-of-the-season event?

Got the email from Jim G. about the upcoming event. Indoor parts swap meet-n-greet, first show of the year to get people out of their winter doldrums. Who's planning to be there?

Well, had to get another vehicle since the Dodge is pretty much toast and can't move around much anymore. Knew that camogriz in NY state had his CUCV M1009 for sale along with a M101 trailer for a good price, thought it might be a good candidate for a semi-daily driver as well as a vehicle I...

There used to be a pile of 3/4-ton trailers at Colemans' Surplus that were antenna support trailers. They didn't have an extendable antenna in them that mounted and extended while in the trailer, it was merely a trailer that had lots of cabling, antenna masts, a small genset, and related radio...

A few I scanned for those who have the biggest 4x4 in the MV world. Recovery and wrecker operation training manuals for the M553 GOER, from Aberdeen Ordnance Center, MD, 1984.

Was there any appreciable differences in the frame design between the WWII Willys MB/GPW, the CJ2A/3A, and the M38? Or for the most part, are they the same?

Have a few CUCV M1009s in the area I am looking at, relatively-rust free units which I like, but two of them have IP issues, and will probably require rebuild. Do any of you recommend anybody who rebuilds these pumps, good job for a good price? I priced new injection pumps from NAPA and...

There was a guy here a while back, maybe a year or so ago, who was located near Portsmouth and he was in the Coast Guard Reserve. Said he could get in, pickup from GL, and get off base in a matter of minutes, since he had a Reservist ID and just got waved in. I think he had a 5-ton M923 or...
