    Canadian M880?

    That is a version of the article I posted about. His alleged Canadian Forces trucks were built on the heavier built and more costly Power Wagon W200, LOL . That statement clearly indicates the author does not know what an M880 is.

    Canadian M880?

    Most of us have seen the old MV magazine article that claimed the Canadian Military used " heavier Dodge Power Wagons with manual transmissions" Not sure how that makes any sense unless he was referring to a W300 instead of the W200 Power Wagon M880 Sure would like to see some actual evidence...

    The 76 core support doesn't have the clearance for the 77 turn signals, but can be cut to clear them.

    M880

    Vin listed starts out as a 1979 D200. The weight indicates 2wd. Actual M880's were 1976 & 1977 model years only. All were military rated as a 1-1/4 ton. (although just a 3/4 ton) When M880's were built in Warren, MI, they came with data tags made by Chrysler . My 1978 Air Force contract Dodge...

    Spacer width for Humvee wheels on CUCV?

    Looking for what spacers people have used for humvee wheels on the CUCV, have compared where the tire sits on std pickup wheels & not having the tires rub. The thinnest spacer I have found for the 8 lugs is 1.5". So that is likely what I'll use instead of the 2" spacers that I have.

    Brake Booster Work-around

    I've had M880's for 20 years, several of them. Have not had an issue with a booster yet. This post is good info if it does happen to me. While I have several parts trucks to pick from, I tend to prefer new over 46 year old brake parts.

    Spacer width for Humvee wheels on CUCV?

    What size spacers are you running? I thought 2" was needed, but after test fitting one on another truck, I started measuring. I have 37" Goodyear's on 6-3/4 wide rims on my M1028, to have the outside sidewall in the same place I would only need a 1" spacer? I'm going to test fit one to see what...
