Other than having some 17 inch wheels custom made, are there any 17 inch wheels that can be mounted on a H1 that don't stick out more than the stock 16.5 beadlocks?

Can it be flat towed with a Towbar?

That is a great looking truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 939 trucks do seem to have more leg room. The FMTV's are coming down in price, but are still a lot more than the 939 trucks. The 939 will serve my needs, I would only be buying a FMTV for the additional "cool" factor over the 939... :beer: Thanks to all for the information provided, I...

:) Sparkylisle, to be a bit off topic, if you are looking for something a bit smaller and easier to drive and park, look at a Pinzgauer. more road friendly than some of the other FC's. All these trucks can be fun to own and operate, just be prepared for tradeoffs with size, power, speed and...

I swp the NP203 in my 79 powerwagon for a np205and its a easy swp. You can use your crossmember, it lines up perfectly. you need a dodge np205 with a 23 spline input shaft. since your mounting it shaft to shaft you need the np205 coupler. You also need the adapter that connects the np205 to...

AAA will not provide road-side assistance for a duece, I found out last year at midnight in August of last year , 30 miles south of Iowa City when my Bobbed duece had a flat and my jack wasn't tall enough. Oh yea, your 2.5 ton jack is way to small to use on a duece!

Re: RE: leaking flame starter THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My flame starter is leaking and I want to bypass it until I have a chance to fix it. There are two fuel lines connected to it and I was wondering if one is the supply and one is a return or are they both supply lines??? :lost:
