oh yeah Magoo will be running in his first parade, the Veterans day Parade in jacksonville nc 9 nov
Was asked by the parade folks to provide a narrative?
Came up with this,
comments????
This is a 1952 m38a1 willys jeep. This particular jeep was in fact made in 1952
this jeep was used in korea and southeast asia (vietnam war). The united states marine corps
used this jeep until the sixties, during the 3 1/2 year restoration, i found original
tactical markings that identified this jeep as belonging to the 3rd battalion, of the
fifth marine regiment, 1st marine division. The us marines always got a big
bang out of each dollar and this jeep probably saw service in vietnam. This restoration
began in may of 2016, it was a rusty hulk. The engine turned over using a wrench
to do so. The jeep was taken down the frame and all components sand blasted and restored.
Total suspension rebuild, total body rebuild and same with motor (all four cylinders)
i recreated all tactical markiings from the period, there are a few things left to complete, but that
is for next summer
I absolutely love running my Jeep in the parades!
WHAT GEAR DID YOU STAY WITH?? LOTS OF STOP AND GO I WAS TOLD,,, ROUTE ABOUT 1 MILE
I like your narrative. I am very interested in the Vietnam war. I like the way you tie in the history.
Thank God for you and the history you possess! My imagination is running wild. I am glad you lived to tell!
"WHAT GEAR DID YOU STAY WITH?? LOTS OF STOP AND GO I WAS TOLD,,, ROUTE ABOUT 1 MILE"
I usually go to 4 wheel low and 1st or second gear depending on the speed. Usually first gear high range has me into the clutch a lot.
HA! LarryBeard! Thank God for your coffee cup! Got that all figured out now, cool running's.
I posted this in the tech section. Here is a great way to find out your speeds. My CJ3A crawls at 1.6 mph at 700 rpm in low range first gear. Multiply the transfer case gear you are in times the transmission ratio you are in. Use this number as the transmission number.
