    Installing Antenna tip

    If I remember correctly, there are two sizes for the antenna balls. Make sure you are not trying to force the small holed one on a bigger antenna. They should just slip on with a little effort.

    M56B1 questions

    Nice looking truck, the great thing is that all the main pieces to keep it running are all just standard M37 parts. Motor, drivetrain, brakes, ect are all fairly easy to find M37 items. Unique to the M56 is going to be items like the PTO and welder which look like are still with it. Definitely...

    An M715 and the mystery of the "upside down hook" (or, how to properly tie down your cargo cover)

    Yes, that was the intended design of it, to pull the front edge of the cover around the front of the box and overlapping the front section to help make a more weatherproof seal on it, especially while moving.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    The rank turned out great. I was worried how well the little details in the sling would turn out.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Funny that this subject came up the other day here as I had just filmed an episode on the subject of bridgeweight plates for my Green Iron TV channel that came out today.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Every manual I've seen refers it to "combined" meaning the combined weight classes of the vehicle and trailer and is representative of the weights of the two vehicles over the combined length and distribution between the axles. The numbers don't represent tons, but are weight classes from the...

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Here is the specific page on Delta Team Decals that has the bridgeplate kits, Bridgeplate (deltateamdecals.com) Note that this kit comes with enough numbers to fully restore a plate and is pretty reasonable for only $10 with free shipping.

    Problem identifying proper color?! 34052

    34052 is the flat color that was used on WWII Marine equipment. The semi-gloss 24052 was used on vehicles like those M37's. If you are having trouble finding good 34052, then you should be looking at either of the 2 major military vehicle paint vendors. Army Jeep Parts in PA and Rapco in TX...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Yes the joy of getting your fingers just right to get the nut started on the threads. It was even more complicated by trying to not trip over the tripod while filming or blocking everything with your back as you try and do a limbo to fit your hand and arms into the small space. Your story is...
