I learned some Basic Instrument Flying in one of those when I was a Cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. Where's the hood for it?

I didn't see the hood and didn't even realize it was supposed to have one until I got home and looked them up online. It's probably somewhere in the depths of that hangar. Neat rig.
There was a Maine Forest Service UH-1 flying around scooping up and dropping water with one of those orange bags too. That's the only Huey I've ever seen fly and it was the second time I'd seen that one. Great day.

I can't take my eyes off of that doodlebug thingy. Check out the leaf springs. Are they upside down or did some vehicles have them installed that way? It kind of looks like something HG would do. Check them for brass nuts.

What an Awesome Fantastic Thread!!!
You find the coolest stuff... You perhaps need to open a museum.
You are a Spirit.
For some reason I feel you will get this ....

Check them for brass nuts. I have no idea why the springs are like that. Oilly will probably chime in as I'm sure he has 4 or 5 of these in one of his cave lairs somewhere. Time to go crank some Rush.... |

Sorry, no clue on how that spring works or attaches to the rear axle. My lights in my multiple caves don't work. Can't go look at the 4 or 5 of them. Ryan will need Chewy if he gets another "Lake Effect" winter like last year. Scat Buggy is pretty cool, but like all plows, you need to get the snow as far away as you can the first plowing. Chewy just throws it way out there. Oilly

I noticed that link trainer - I got to play in one once ... I'd love to have one for the museum!

Boy it seems like it's been ages since I dragged anything home. I've been on a downsizing frenzy just trying to clear the house and yard of all the "'tweener" Jeep parts and misc junk that seems to have piled up higher than I ever could have imagined. "'Tweener" stuff is everything left after you sell of all the "good" treasures from a haul. You are left with junk that is too good to scrap but not really good enough to sell. It falls somewhere between trash and treasure - "'Tweener". I painstakingly found places to unload all of it so I'm as ready for winter as I'm going to be. Part of my downsizing frenzy included selling my M38 ....  .....it's going to a very good home and the buyer has not yet taken delivery of it so I still have a little quality time left to say "goodbye". I had no plans to replace it but less than 24 hours after the terms of the sale were finalized this popped up on CL, and well, you know the rest. A deal was struck and home it came. Not sure what my plans are but I'll at least start a separate thread here for it. '49 3A - Bubba body work special. Runs, drives, and stops though!     |

Hey. If you have any of the long braces for the side steps floating around, let me know. I need two. BTW - Your disease is just plain chronic.

The side steps on the above 3A are the only ones I've ever really seen, let alone owned. I believe they are originals (diamond pattern tread) which makes them fairly rare birds. Not sure what my plan is with them yet. They may migrate over to my '51, especially if I decide to take this one for any type of woods romp. If I should stumble across any loose braces I now know who to call.... |

After an extended hiatus the Willys Hotline is back up and running. Today's lead had me chasing a vague description of "an old jeep". Turns out it's a '54 M38A1 with a V-6 - is that a Dauntless? Supposedly "Ran when it drove to that spot 5 years ago...". The price is "right" but I'm not certain I even want to deal with it so at this point I do not own it. Any input from the peanut gallery here? The intriguing thing about this particular Jeep is that it's in a spot I have driven past 100's of times and never knew it was there as you can't see it from the road. Just makes you wonder - What else is out there...right under my nose...waiting to be found?  ?      |

Personally, I wouldn't touch it, modified Jeeps are fine for who moded them, but a very hard sell for the Jeep flippers...... I like A-1's, but they are hard to sell stock, let alone chopped up.... Looks like a money pit. For the right price a parts rig perhaps. |

Sweet stack of pallets! What jeep?
Maybe he'll give you the jeep if you offer to remove the pallets.

Looks like a money pit. For the right price a parts rig perhaps. That's pretty much why I didn't drag it home. I don't want to rebuild it, there's not much in parts value, and I certainly won't be able to sell it for enough to justify the effort. Too bad... The pallets, however, are available. I'm accepting offers on singles or the entire lot.  |

 Frick and Frack, you are killing me. Why didn't you first get the WW2 Jeep? The VEC is good too. Did it have the square washer windshield with it? Sad how rusty the pickup was. Was the WW2 Jeep a MB? I know of no Jeep piles like this in my neck of the woods. I still dream of finding the ranch that a WW2 vet in 1946 bought and used a bunch of surplus Jeeps, and then left them all in a metal quanset shed when he passed away. You are my idle Ryan. Sick, very sick, and my hero! Oilly

If my trailer was a little bigger it might have tried to jump on but there was no room left! No windshield with the VEC. Might still be buried in the puckerbrush out there somewhere. |
