Hello Derek,
The large compartment measures on the inside 13 3/4" x 4 1/2" x 6". Has a bulb socket to the left of the switch. There are no wires, or hole for them, going from the small electrical-fitted side into the larger compartment. Hope to join the Arrowhead chapter of the MVPA when I get a running, presentable vehicle.... seems like a lot of good folks there. Thanks, David

Morning David
How's that early Dodge coming?
I've seen something like that before bolted to a tank hull. I'd had the telephone handset in it for someone standing outside to communicate with the crew. Gordon

Hi Gordon,
Making progress on the '34. I finally found a pair of the suicide doors for it locally. I probably paid too much, but it ends my search. And of course coming from central Texas, one of them is riddled with bullet holes.  Thanks. David

It's only sheetmetal
If my lottery comes up I'll have that '34 from you, bullet holes or not. That's let you get on with the Chev.
My latest purchase, a T-36 Snow Tractor, rolls out of the container today dockside UK after a trip from northern California where it has spent the last 67 years.  Still a spring chicken compared with that nice '34 though G

T-36...
Great Gordon!
Fun day ahead for you. Saw photos of your new project. Must be the only survivor? How hard to find new tracks willl it be? You will also find it hard to keep focused on your panel project with that in your shop. The C8 is apparently jealous of my attention towards the '34. It left a puddle of black ooze out of the steering gear box on the ground the morning after I pulled in the '34 Dodge. No sign of a leak before.... Won't really start restoring it though until the C8 is together and running. Thanks, David

Only survivor
I think it is the only one. I heard mention of another, but nothing to back it up. It is possible that both people were speaking about the same vehicle when in different ownership.
 Engine and drivetrain complete, seems to be missing the instrument panel ( with serial plate - rats ..... ) all the glass, all the lights, plus the tracks. Tracks are only conveyor belt with bolted-on grousers and drive lugs. I'll probably get a UK conveyor belt producer to cut two lengths of elevator belt ( conveyor belt with moulded-on lugs ) and join them, then Vulcanise the joints. Drive lugs will be bolted-through turned nylon bar or the like. This vehicle was offered to numerous people but turned down because it had no tracks. As presumably the only survivor of 36 built you would have thought someone would have wanted it. I have no issues with the vehicle or the work, but as usual the cost of transporting from California to Scotland is the killer - had to be done though.I have four M19 ski / wheel trailers here, so I have two 1950 units to tow behind the Tucker and two 1944 units to tow behind the T-36. G PS - still needing two Dodge hard cab military door window surround frames when you run across a pair.

Gordon,
You are definately a man with snow machine issues,(M-H Sno-Go, Tucker Sno-Cat, T-36 Snow Tractor, numerous ski trailers, ect)!  Great to have something to spring you out of bed in the morning, and that rare vehicle is as good a reason as any. Hope the project goes smoothly for you. Have one good window surround here that you can have, so if you find another you'll have a set...... Regards, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 12-05-11 at 07:12.
