  1. Watcha big boy ...looks like. Ex French given the N'o plate and data tags .. closed cab alongside her plus a CMP in the back of one of the other photos ..what else does he have on that plot of land .. looks like he he has the closed cab up as well.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GMC-6-WHEEL-DRIVE-MILITARY-TRUCK-/261378229031?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cdb5b4327 PS love your photo in the MVT Calendar....
  2. As far as I'm aware it should... Although if its a repro tub you may have to do a bit of fettling to get it to fit .
  3. Please Sir ....!!! can I ask how much he paid you to take it away ????
  4. Well in my humble opinion, Id take the screen out. Trying to work over the bonnet is going to one big Bar stool.. I cant agree with Gas44 re the fitting being that easy ..( sorry) All my rubbers have been MV spares, regarded in the jeep world as a top quality products ..the Jimmy/Dodge and Jeep inner windscreen are identical Extrusions.. the Frame will need to be spotless within the grove ..Lubrication is king ... Just a thought, hows the rest of your inner frame ??? new fully glazed and rubberd frames are only ...Sorry i say only ...£245...these are for Dodges so are about 1/4 of an inch shorter.. My frame looked oki'sh until i removed it and it well "Fell apart":-X
  5. Easier to take the windscreen out ..lots of washing up liquid and a swear box. !!! having done a few jeep windscreens this can be a ......a....... Annoying task. Try to getting the inner channel as clean as possible so that the preformed rubber will slide up the channel its a jiggle to get the rubber wet enough to slide and still get enough grip on the rubber so that you can pull it . .HAVE FUN.
  6. This is the latest Video for the MFMS...at Damyns hall airdrome in Essex ..just within the M25. Enjoy and hope to see you at the show.. ken.
  7. Yup very early GPW used Willys chassis ...
  8. Just been told that I programme I was involved in ( shot the reconstruction footage ) is on the yesterday channel tonight .. 10 PM or 11 PM on the 1 hour + channel .. Don't worry if you don't catch it this time it's the YESTERDAY channel, it will be shown forever and a day, I know I keep seeing Narrow Escapes of WW2 pop up every few months for another outing . Ken
  9. I have a friend ....(yes just the one but that's all you need in life ..:yawn:!!!)... He works within a large military library / research centre .... Let's say he's not convinced about spitfires in crates, and went through a huge list of reasons why he thinks this is a Wilde goose chase ..unfortunately I can say no more or he'd have to kill me .....and I'm having none of that....
  10. Go on .....how much did you get it for ?....
  11. Gas44... Reminiscent of Tony Sudds .... Have phoned Rex on a few occasions for help and advice ....ultra helpful .. popped into his workshop a couple of times to buy stuff and he has been very welcoming.. I think that the difference I's that he's not just a TRADER selling stuff he's also a mechanic ex Reme if I understand He repairs and restores vehicles ... He is probably a little different to the jeep world with several Co's Viking for our business, Rex is the only GMC spares person in the UK that I know of but has treated me as valued customer who could buy my bits elsewhere .. A good customer is a repeat customer ...:wave: Ken.
  12. Im no expert ...but probably most of the damage will be on the bottom end, so as long as your crank is within tolerance you should be able to save it with a re-grinde @ £125 ish from a Engine rebuilders new shells another £60 plus ( funnily enough i have just bought these from Cliff Harris ... just cant find the bill ...:shocked:) you should not have much problem with the pistons but given the fact that the engine is all apart a full inspection/ rebuild seems sensible ..... If you have everything to hand and have had all the major remedial work done, Crank ground ...Nuts bolts , shims , Piston rings , Shells etc etc a good day should have the engine re built .... You can save yourself a lot of money by buying the bit yourself ...Going from experience. Question Why did you lose oil pressure ....Clogged oil-ways ....Faulty oil pump .... if you have to ship the engine to someone like Dallas youll need to add Shipping to the Cost ...oh and VAT ... ken
  13. Well I had a Moan about a Foreign dealer who screwed me over for postage on a small packet the other week ...this is how it should be done. Phone REX Mr GMC for a Nut and bolt ...yes that right , one nut and bolt ..:nut:.. he popped them in the post for me ( I have bought several things from him in the past ) ..... CHARGE .....£0.00... Big ThanXXX to REX
  14. well its about bloody time old bean :nut:.. Great mix of people from around the world and things have just got better since you joined the Forum .. some say that it will get even better when I post my resignation from this forum ....:-X... Only joking :cool2:
