T corbin Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 We do have most of the parts to restore the truck M-2-4 where built for the U.S.M.C. They built about 9000 up to 1945 .No TM or not much information on them ( another challenge to get this one right ) One in picture is in USA Still some work to do . Dont think any others in UK T CORBIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Cubed Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I don't think super glue will help that, you might do better with U.S. military spec supper dooper glue :whistle: Sorry to see that :shake: hope you don't find any more horrors, good luck with the build..

T corbin Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Its good to be able to start putting the parts back together . Which have been rebuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 You've got a lot of work ahead of you, Tony, but at least you've been spared the most difficult decision of any project - how far to strip it down? :whistle: especially when a vehicle is in half-decent order to start with. I think that only by doing what you are having to do, can you achieve a really 'top drawer' result to rival the Wheatcroft boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Heck Tony, you are probably seeing bits the manufactures have forgotten are there. Genuine nut and bolt rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
