    Help Decode A 1986 M1009

    It's 1st Army Division West, 1 Battalion 382nd Infantry Regiment. I believe they are located at Ft Bliss and although it says Infantry, it's actually a logistics support battalion.

    Got tired of looking at mine and since nobody bought it, I took it over to the thrift shop last weekend. Oh well.

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    You could always be like me more than a few years back. Lean forward in the passenger set with the helmet on the radio shelf. Next bump shift to kinda leaning back with your helmet on the B pillar until the driver hits the brakes. Then lean forward with arm on the defroster outlet until it...

    M1102 Trailer Value?

    I have a bulldog pintle/ball combination hitch on a riser. It works great. I've towed M1101 and gen trailers as well as civy trailers.

    If you are towing a M105 or 101 or 1101 or similar then get a temp tag. That's what we did.

    PCS move from Ft Hood TX to FT Huachuca AZ

    Well that's not very MV like. I drove mine from Atlanta to El Paso in August then the following may from El Paso to Aberdeen Show then had someone take it to Atlanta for me (I'd driven that route back and forth about 30 times in the deuce) and then in September another trip from Atlanta to El...

    Unit Insignia Markings Question....

    Oh and you can always come up with what unit and you might have someone on here that can give you rear numbers. I gave someone the numbers for my HMMWV from Desert Storm and they painted them on. I had a deuce from my old unit and carried those numbers because DRMO didn't paint them over.

    Unit Insignia Markings Question....

    Suggest working this from the top down. What time period are you portraying? Are you going to portray Army, Air Force? What type of unit? What unit? If the supply truck for an infantry or armor company, most of these would be the company letter then a 4. A4, B4, C4 Below are some...

    I have family living about 35 miles away. They've picked up several loads for me from there. Last one was a generator trailer (I bought them a pintle and light). He is open to consider picking up for folks if it is a light trailer or a pallet or two. His truck has a cap on it so that would...

    VIN Lookup for Title

    Before you do anything, verify the data plate serial number (VIN) matches the one printed on the frame. It is probably painted over and will take some effort to find. I know on the non-reo deuces it was on the drivers side just above (or slightly behind) the front axle on the outside of the...

    Cucv tac marks (Bumper Numbers)

    HQ is headquarters. It's the opposite side of the bumper that tells the unit. DCGS-A = Distributed Common Ground System - Army Not sure why DCGS-A would have a CUCV nor such a high admin number. It doesn't necessarily mean there were 244 (or more) vehicles in the unit. That admin number...

    Air O Matic steering

    That's true. Over 60 days ago we just had a machine break at work and the part was out of stock and couldn't be found as the mfg doesn't make it anymore. I said take the broken part over to a shop that has a former Seebee chief working there...that was the day I found out about the...
