Midwest Military is a supplier and manufacturer of collector military vehicle parts. We cater to WWII and Korean era Dodge-built vehicles, Korean era Jeep, and a few other WWII vehicles. We are not a WWII Jeep dealer, although, a lot of the WWII parts we have will interchange.

If you are looking for quality parts that fit the first time, see our PARTS pages. We have NOS and quality reproduction parts. Each list is only a partial inventory. We are always adding things. If you don't see what you need, just drop us a note, call or fax. If we don't have it, we may know who does. We accept VISA and MasterCard to make ordering easier. And we ship all over the world.


This started out as a one-man hobby turned business. It has now grown into a three-man operation. I have not let the business overtake the inital focus ... "the hobby". I am still an avid collector and restorer. Because of this, we started the fabrication side of the business. I found the quality of some of the parts available to be inferior. That combined with the depletion of NOS parts supplies and continued demand has made this all possible. I invested in the machines and made the quality of these reproductions the #1 priority. The thanks belongs to all our customers. We are always looking for new parts to manufacture, so if you have an idea, contact us.

 

 

 

The new facility is over 8,000 square feet, so shopping is now possible. You can actually see the parts now. Customers are welcome to stop by. We're open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, and weekends by appointment.

Of course, the majority of business is still done mail order. We ship to all parts of the U.S. and internationally.

We are always looking to purchase old inventories, parts collections, parts vehicles, whole vehicles or any WWII or Korean military-related items.

We also have vehicles for sale, please check out the FOR SALE pages if you are looking for a truck to restore. Shipping can be arranged.

My current private collection consists of:

a 1942 WC 56, 1942 WC58, 1941 WC 4, 1942 WC60, 1943 GPW, 1952 M42, 1942 Bren Gun Carrier, 1942 M7 Trailer with Quad 50 Mount, 1943 WC 62, 1942 Ben Hur Trailer, 1944 DUKW, 1952 M38, 1952 M100 Trailer, 1941 M3A1, 1974 M108 Duece Wrecker.

But, the most covetted part of my collection is my very understanding wife and 3 kids.

June 2009

Minnesota "Red Bull" contingent of Military Vehicles loaded and ready to be transported from Minneapolis to the starting point of the MVPA Transcontinental Motor Convoy in Washington, DC June 4, 2009. Right to left: Louie Larson's Jeep and Trailer, 1/4 Ton Graco U.S.M.C. Convoy Luber, and Gary Nelson's Jeep and Trailer.

Why you ask are we posting this? The little Graco Luber in the middle was built almost entirely by prints provided by Graco's historian Leo Kiefer so that they could provide this to the convoy. Midwest Military, Inc and Gary Wirth's Specialty Restorations knocked it out in about 3 weeks time. Look for it in other photos of the convoy on UTube, GoArmy.com and the MVPA home page. The MVPA link is at the bottom of this page. They also have a blog so you can follow along.

The Convoy goes 3,100 from Washington, DC to Oakland, CA from June 13th to July 19, 2009.

My Dream Junkyard

An MV collectors dream pile. Mike S. from Ohio sent me this photo. Can you imagine being able to scavenge a pile like this? This was taken sometime shortly after WWII. Notice the man standing on the pile in the lower left and the 1/2 track just above him and you get an idea of the scale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Customer Photo Gallery

Many customers of mine like to send me finished photos of their project trucks. I decided to share them with you. About once a month or so I will feature a new vehicle, or two. If you have photos to share of your finished vehicle or vehicles please send or email them to me.



These photos were sent in by Alan M of Alabama of his extremely nice restoration of his M38A1.

 

And for those of you who have your own websites dedicated to the hobby and the restoration of Military Vehicles we will start posting your links here also. Here is one you may like:
