Cross over steering... The CUCV comes with push/pull steering. Look on the inside of the driver's tire and you'll see the drag link. This link pushes and pulls (front to back) the steering knuckle on the axle. The knuckle, in turn, actuates the tie rod which turns the pass side tire. This...

You don't need a lift if you don't mind trimming fenders. A mechanic I talked to at a base (while picking up my deuce) told me they used to run them on M1008s by just running them backwards. I don't know why it wouldn't work. The tires would probably stick out far though.

Speaking about the pic Mike posted. I think it's on D44s

Do you know who Carnac is? Clearly you don't. I'd believe him on this subject over anyone else on this forum.

Thanks for the pics guys. Those definitely still look beefy!:-D

Anyone have a pic of a 5 ton running the 14R20s? I was planning to run the 16r20s (on the 5 ton I don't even have yet) but am interested in impacting the power less as long as it still looks/performs BA.

I wouldn't run it simply because it is a v8. V8s only have 5 main bearings. Inline 6 engines have 7 main bearings. They're much stronger in general, will last longer, and can stand up to heavy duty operations.

I've got a M1008 for sale with a big 'ol flat bed. $2000. It isn't running right now but is an easy fix! PM me if interested. $2650 if I fix it first. It's in Roanoke, VA

Nicely done. I think you made out well. Does that thing float like the other one that was posted?

I'm pretty jealous of you. I paid more than that for mine and it's a hacked up piece... Did you get it off GL or private sale?

A friend built this, then I built one. EZ bead breaker.

You mean like that big link at the top of the page that says "Forum Rules" right under the "R" is "STEEL SOLDIERS"? :roll: :wink:

How much does the deuce engine/tranny combo weigh?

Just until tomorrow, I'd run a hot wire from the battery to the brake lights a solder a fuse in line or get an in line fuse holder.

That's probably because it's a 5 ton... :wink:

Michelins won't work on your wheels if you have split rim wheels. Radials can't (or at least shouldn't) be run on split rims.

I've heard that Michelin XLs will help a lot in the snow. True?

So you marked the tank diesel, but it has Kero in it?

But only with just compensation which you can negotiate.

I don't get what the big deal is either. A trailer's a trailer.
