yep, I'm already doing my part to reduce the new inventory!

has anyone got prices on the new stuff?

here's a portion of an email from Steve about parts I was after. Prices seem to be slightly higher than listed in their latest catalog, but we can always expect prices to go up and never down...

The NOS exhaust manifolds are $395 and the good used
ones are $250.
-The NOS door shells have NOS door mechanisms and window regulator
mechanisms and are $395 each, if you do not want the mechanisms we could
remove them and the price would then be $275each.
-The NOS Black steering wheels are $175.
-Transfercase handle draft pad retainer assembly we are still looking
for and when we find them we will price them.
-The shocks remain $75each and the NOS transmissions are $900each.

Check out the slideshow on their VPW sight. They really lucked into a super Dodge parts stash! It's the kind of thing I dream about finding in a barn somewhere. Of course, I used to fantasize about finding a barn full of hot chicks, boy am I getting old Now if I found a stash of Dodge parts guarded by bikini-clad hot chicks? Well, my wife would let me bring the Dodge parts home

evidently all leftover parts from our SE Asian campaigns

Holy crap! I would never have believed that so many WC models could still exist! I noticed Burmese markings on a couple of bumpers, so perhaps we "donated" them after WWII came to a close.

I really liked the pics of the hot rodded flathead six. It's been many years since I saw those goodies available for a Mopar. I once had a '52 Plymouth convertible that was similarly equipped. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my youthful foot out of those carbs and blew the engine up. I didn't know beans about rebuilding or swapping engines back then, so the car went to the junk yard.

Those are actually M601 trucks. These were built by Dodge for export contracts only. They are from the 60's and are really not anything like the WWII WC series trucks.

Thanks for the enlightenment, John. I still find it amazing that I can still learn stuff at my "advanced" age.

These photos are from a previous buying trip to Asia. They are not photos of the most recent trip. Still interesting photos to look at though.
