Time to finally get the big old trailer off the newer trailer... ha it was a bit stuck. Great condition underneath as well though.

Hi It was found outside in a breakers yard filled with “stuff” and a ton of leafs inside. when we got it back and clean it out it is indeed very solid not rot at all! One little gem found inside was this camo net, which appears to be a ww2 British army one.

Found buy a friend and I got the call to go buy it. very nice condition, no major rot or issues apart from a few dents. comes complete with fire extinguisher, tool box and tools, vice on the a frame, canvas cover front hoop etc and two Jerry cans one is MD stamped 1945 dated which is nice for my collection and a twin can carrier.

Yes thanks for that. Currently working on the engine and running gear.

That is great thank you! Yes if I could get the measurements please then I can fab up the missing bits. Just got a book of words as well so hopefully I can get the old girl all fixed up.

Hello, I’m Will from Bristol always had a thing for ww2 vehicles mainly anything tracked or tanks. Sadly I not been able to own a tank yet but I’ve been lucky enough to sit in a few Sherman’s and a M6 tank recovery truck. I have a 42 GMC 353 closed cab with gun hole, 43 MB jeep and a 45 M29c weasel in the fleet currently.

I have a 42 closed cab cckw but at some point in its life someone has screwed shut the front screen. now I am trying to refit the original brackets etc so my question is, one are the latches/catches/bars still available and two does anyone have any photos of these areas so i can try and make the bits I’m missing if they are not available. any help would be greatly appreciated. Will

As above for a 353 please, anyone got part or all of this ? I’m based in Bristol

Hi guys I need some help tracking down the history of one of my ww2 vehicles. i have a 45 M29c (build date is January 45) and I believe it was used in the Pacific then shipped back to the USA after the war. It then went into private ownership in the 50’s and many years later was found and shipped to me (uk) so I have been removing the extra paint layers and found these numbers. 5A on the front right and hull number 40195448, I’ve found this number twice on each side. One is ww2 correct size stencil and the other looks more hand done. ive been told the us army marked the vehicles differently in the Pacific as the USMC also had the same vehicles etc i have also also found the markings A.G.O Reports Inside on the left front side, any ideas ? anyway and help with tracking down the history would be great as it’s not having a full restoration just a light clean and it will be wearing its original paint again soon.
