greetings all,

 

aparently i have not introduced myself despite being a member since 2009!! How time flies!!!

 

I am restoring a 1942/43 wc51 in my 'spare time' in my garage here in gloucestershire and thought i would contact members of this forum for help from time to time.

 

I am an active user of the ww2 dodge forum which continues to be a valuable source of info and help but i thought i would try and see if there are any owners local to me and see what is happening on the local scene.

 

Cheers,

 

gareth

what ho! Chaps,

 

kevin hollis said this was the place to be so here i am.

sadly i am not the owner of any hmvs. I do however collect historic ordnance of all types and one day hope to obtain something appropriate for one of my brens. I should like to take the opportunity to pay tribute to a good friend and a true pioneer canadian collector of hmvs,the late don smith. I fondly remember his passion for collecting all things military which included an m4 [a3e8?] sherman [twin diesel/76mm] by the name of carol. Thanks for the ride don,you really made my day.

hallo to all,

 

think about reconstruction my mwr wreck, but missing information about special details only for mwr,

 

maybe help me owners mwr with pictures and information,

 

now its big project and big problem for searching missing parts mwr.

 

Thanks for help

welcome, nothing wrong with the niva, very capable and comfortable vehicle. Far nicer ride than a series land rover. Do you know the origin of the name? A finnish river, also the finnish word for mud.

Hi All,

 

I collected this yesterday, I think a running restoration... I said no more after the Chev but its cute with a nice history, apparently was in a John Lennon film among others.

 

1942 Ford fitted with a Ford 4D diesel have I lost the plot ? Brakes needs doing, front tires blown out. The seller had three days to move it so I did a spur of the moment exchange.[ATTACH=CONFIG]63037[/ATTACH]

so i was up late last night looking for info on the cadillac and packard based street ambulances used state side by the u.s. Medical dept. And base hospitals during the 30’s 40’s and 50’s.

While not shedding any new light on this subject for myself i found an interesting photo showing a ‘new’ 1942 caddy next to the old 34 panel.

i am now more interested in finding info on that 34. :-p

 

i did somehow manage to stumble upon an australian photo archive with an international harvester collection. Included in the collection were several delivery photos of military contract orders. http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/themes/3158/international-harvester-ih-collection?start=1. Also in the collection are d30 and k5 based trucks, and (my favorite) militarized d2 utilities.

The captions for these say that these ambulances were for the raaf.

hi

i wonder if anyone can help please. We moved into our house a few years ago and have been told by a neighbor that a tank was buried in our garden after world war two. We boohooed the idea but this weekend he has categorically stated that this is the case. Is there anyway of finding out if this is true - we would appreciate any advice.

Many thanks.

Andrew smith
