    Glorious collection of some of the BEST iron on the planet! Every rescue gets you closer to Truck Heaven. They get torn apart, gone through and prepped for service. That you do it with a great sense of the history you possess makes you an excellent curator of these amazing rigs. Kudos to you - here's to an awesomely temperate spring/summer/fall that allows you to get tons of stuff done. Looking forward to more on the flathead - here's a shoutout for the red Ford Flacon. Would love to see you toss in a nifty straight six with a thrifty three-speed and get that little Dude running around town. Great going-into-town summer ride for grabbing a well-earned burger/fries/beer combo on a glorious early Alaskan evening. Cheers!!!

    I have a M38A1 that pops out like that, but only on overrun (coasting downhill in gear, clutch out). I've been *told* it's from a worn shift fork, and that the mesh of the gears pulls the shift dog in when powered, but also pulls on it on overrun. Supposedly you can add a bead of brazing rod to the fork, dress it down, and patch the problem up...but so far I just keep my hand on the lever on overrun :P I bet it does it in reverse, too -- I'll have to check. I like the hose clamp solution! Using old equipment to move and work on other old equipment is probably one of the best uses nowadays. It's nice to see cleaned up show trucks, but they're meant to work!

    The old bomb hauler, if you were to mock up a bomb (water tank with fins?) mount it on the carrier and place at your driveway entrance with your channel name or business name, pretty damn cool. At least until you kibble your repair parts together. Let others see that old girl

    Very good that you save them. In the mid 90's i worked at a construction company and they had such a truck but as a dump truck. It was fully restored but in the company's orange color. The founder brother were in their 80s already and they bought the trucks right after ww2 from the liberators. They bought several to expand there company. Somwhere on the web are pictures from exactly these trucks. During one of the liberation tours here in the Netherlands, i drive ( sat in) such a truck and i talked to a colored ww2 vet who drove these trucks during and after ww2, here in the Netherlands. Are you going to restore one or so or do youleave them as how they are now? Regards from a Dutch in the Belgium Ardennes/ Battle of the Bulge area
