Default Sexton hull

Hello All

Armor collector from Tennessee. I'm in the midst of getting a Sexton hull in decent shape. No final drive, tracks, idlers, etc. Has barrel and sights, decking etc. I remember a museum in Canada that had a cut hull I think? Looking for all the missing bits but will also consider selling. No pics yet. Recovering at end of month. Came from SECO lot. They robbed stuff off this to sell elsewhere.

Robert,

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on the project. I am sure many here will want to see your progress, no matter how small it is.

Once again, welcome in.

Shortly after we started this forum Geoff came up with a picture of a cut down Sexton hull which was in running condition. This must have been 15 or even 20 years ago so it may well have gone through the hands of several owners and could be the one at the Oshawa museum.

If you want I could forward your request to my Sherman Register mailing list and Facebook page.

HTH,
Hanno

There were two hulks at the Veterans Museum at Huntsville Alabama that some of us have gotten parts from. Ask for Randy Withrow.

Peter Samsonov posted a few pictures of this cut-down Sexton hull at the Ontario Regiment Museum. I think this is a very good candidate to be restored as a Sexton GPO?

Speaking of Sextons - Robert are you still here and if so, how is your Sexton project going?
