Re: M201B1 in Mopar Action Magazine

Hi Mark, same truck. I believe that was six years ago! It just sits for the most part, put about 10 miles on it since it was finished in '08.

Re: Good trip gone crappy.....

Hey MM, if you have a piece of the axle left in the diff you can take a 5/8's x 6' ground rod and insulate it so that it will center itself in the axle tube and hook your stick welder clamp on the end then turn up the amps. Guide the rod in until it hits the axle and hopefully it will stick enough t...

Re: Can Someone Esplain the Paint Scheme Thing?

I would think there is more danger from friendly fire than the enemy if the vehicles were not marked well enough? Since most of the vehicles on both sides had some type of OD paint you would have to look to see which one it was. Hard to know unless you were there!

Re: M201B1 in Mopar Action Magazine

Thanks Gary! I'm curious to know if your units truck had racks on top or not. I have a Chrysler pic of a 61 without racks and not sure when they took them off. Also wondering what they used the truck for?

Re: M201B1 in Mopar Action Magazine

Hi Rick! Thanks to your pics and measurements I was able to make that tailgate. When Don Garlits first saw the truck at one of his Mopar shows it reminded him of his National Guard service where he drove the M37. I asked him if he had room for it in his museum and he said he'd make room! Unfortunate...

M201B1 in Mopar Action Magazine

Hi all! If you find yourselves near the magazine stand check out the April issue of Mopar Action Magazine. They did a fun story on my 61 M201B1 with 5 pages of pics. I was amazed that a military truck would end up in a car magazine. Look for the blue Superbird on the front cover!

Re: 2012 Nationals

John, Look at page 40 in the February/March issue of Supply Line magazine. It says "preregistration is for MVPA members and guests. Non- members are welcome to attend the entire event and can register at the door for the above fees"' Did they change the rules since then? I'm coming up Thur...

Re: Parting out M43

Dave, I can do that for you after the 1st.

I can bring parts to the show if someone let's me know what they want.

Rich, doors are the same but both were rusted out and scraped.

Thanks!

Re: Parting out M43

The sliding door is there and complete, it even has the roll up canvas curtain. The rear step is there also. Once I have gone through the whole truck I will post the M43 parts with pricing and take pics. Thanks!
