WC-63 chassis, MB/GPW and other odds & ends

Well, found some more odds & ends nosing around this
weekend. (And, of course, all of this when I'm short on $$!
Of course! :>)

One WC-63 chassis and remnants. I say "remnants" as the
cab and front end are missing, though the chassis,
engine, etc. is still there. The winch is still there as well,
though I'm sure that sitting out this long, it's toast.

One M10 ammo trailer. In pretty good shape, considering where
it's at, but someone in the past had torch-cut holes in the
upper top corners to make holes for posts.

One M332 (?) ammo trailer.

One M1 searchlight trailer. In good shape, had an overall coating
of rust, though a good sanding would take it right off. I didn't
see any rust-through either.

One workshop/commo shelter for a 2 1/2 ton. Glass in rear door
was broken out, but replaceable.

Umpteen MB & GPW bodies, though the majority are rusted
through in places. Would be good for parts, I guess, but
not as a whole. Various drive-train assemblies for the
above as well.

All of these were found in the field of one of my grandfather's
neighbors, in PA. I'd noticed some of the stuff while deer hunting
back in DEC, but hadn't had the chance to examine it. I'll have to
talk to him when I get the chance, and see if he's interested in
selling any of it.
