Does any one know what the FM or TB # that covers bridge classification
numbering for front grill of MV's. If avail on line it would be super.
Thanks
I saw the "GUNNY" but the live was tooooo long for pictures and autographs.
I had stuff to buy and wanted to look at all that green stuff. I still don't
know how that sports car got in the display area. It wasn't green, so I
guess it had some significance.

M35 owner here that is wanting a WW2 vehicle and has found a jeep for sale.
Here's the deal and you experts feel free to clue me in.
It's a late 42 ford with no ford script on the back.
Has a "f" head willys engine in it which makes the carb stick out of the
hood.
Rusty floor pans.
Lots of play in the rear end.
No glass in the windshield.
Will run and drive.
12 volt.
New brakes.
Willys transfer case with PTO.
$2000.
One hour drive from my house.
Is it worth looking at or is this too much of a basket case for the money.
I don't have any money to buy it, but if it's worth it I might try to talk a
family member into the venture.

I'm not sure what the undercarriage is that was used under the
Blazer but I have a similar unit in the barn. Mine is not farbed up.
My bogies are a little different, my Idler is smaller, and I have only
one top roller. The rear support for the idler is different too. Mine
is a Light Tractor, T3E4 made by Rock Island Arsenal. 1937 S/N 4.
The radiator has "Ordnance" cast in the top tank. It has 2 pintle
hooks and is designed to tow at 25 MPH. Weight is 8400#. 6 cyl
Hercules flathead engine. Mostly complete but in need of total
engine overhaul as it is stuck bad. Was likely an Aberdeen test
unit that was surplused after the war. If I can get my "dream deuce"
I want to haul it to Churchville for the lookers to slobber on as I am
only about 1/2 hour away. Did these ever go into regular use or
were they just for testing? It is about the same size and layout as
the Cletrac light tractor but designed differently. Are there any of
these critters around still? Information anybody? I have a few pix
at:

Resend because first one apparently never showed up...
I think this sucker came to my state a few years ago as part of some sort
of Monster Truck show. My guess is that they used a M4 High Speed
Tractor as a base. This is not all that uncommon to do. In fact,
someone (Southern Equipment??) makes various vehicles based on M4 and
M114 chasis. There is also a M4 High Speed Tractor conversion a couple
towns over which is used by a construction contractor. His has some sort
of Japanese truck cab on it.

Anyone know of a guy that bought a GPA from the company
that runs "Duck" tours in Austin Texas? I think his name
is Danny Bragg? Might live in Galveston? Owns some weasels
also I think. Just curious. I rode the "Duck" tour in Austin this weekend.
Upon closer inspection, it is a modified Alvis Stalwart. Still cool though.
Drove in into Lake Austin going
about 25 mph. They said they sold a GPA to a mv collector
a few years back. He used to own the bar on Lake Austin next to Hula Hut
before it shut down.
Many thanks,
