The hood is round and missing the crease we get when we open them against the cab. Beautiful truck. That CD sticker can be found in 1961 with instructions. https://civildefensearchivesdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/cd-car-sticker.jpg I see Southeastern on the hood. The mail facility...

It's always good to see a video of guys swinging the hammer and saving money. I appreciate any video where we can lock that deuce history down. As a safety guy I get to watch videos like this next one so seeing it all go together and back on the deuce means it went right for you. Heavy chain...

I'd bet that motor would sound like a sewing machine when you get it running. It could be that Continental R6602 engine. I'll also bet the word pictures will keep coming up in this thread. A deuce doesn't need to be a Dollar Eater Under Comfortable Existence...see what I did there. It's like...

Let's see those parts. It's either a dream come true or an episode of the twi-light zone. AM General should be held harmless for use of parts and vehicles but the 'strictly prohibit' (others) (defined; agencies not specifically authorized by AM General) is likely a transition after the nhtsa...

That hasn't happened to me for a long time........I've been saving pics to 'desktop' first, then "attach file" from desktop and it's worked every time.... Try again, maybe the wind was blowing wrong in the wires. Both Grandad and Uncle Ralph served in WW1 so the story is being shared with my...

I saw those dual wheels and got 220 220 vision but it's actually better. Thanks for the pictures. So cool that you have the original tag too. That truck was loved by the shape of it. Your M135 is one of the few that has a history we can lay our hands on so that will be real interesting. Here's...

In Canada in the 1950's we stored thousands of Deuces under the Civil Defence CD and later the Emergency Measures Organization EMO program. My intelligence Officer collector buddy said they'd see these brand new trucks on blocks and didn't understand why the couldn't touch them....until later...

We keep finding these external fuel pumps on the wrecks we recover. I'm sure they're just 24v fuel pumps. One problem I read was the draw through the old tank needs to be modified if you use an external pump. It was a post by Stan Leschart who found a problem when someone went external. Your...

Ya know when you're spreading gravel and you need that sprinkle of water soaking in just before you roll it. We got it and it was like a bucket of gold showing up over Goose. Thanks to A Ahab I can point out where the security skunk hangs out.

Ooops, We did it again, we moved a sea can and Goose jumped right in. The 1956 M135 can pull a sea can but I only did the easy work, grabbing one end and pulling it away from a hill. We were dragging the near empty can through damp sand about 300ft so I left the straight pull up to something...

Welcome aboard! You're in some very prime country for exploring and in good company too. The Windsor Ontario explorers just sent their photos from last weekend on the Canadian shield. Keep those pics of that fine truck coming.

I can weld like that if you need to match something for historical reasons. I use damp 1078 rods, don't clean the surface, put the ground a mile away and spray a little wd40 down first. This build has me eyeing every round cab I see so watching you aim for that crazy detail is inspiring. Sure...

It's one type of seal for our windows. You can take our glass class on Tuesday for a hamburger today right here. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-rust-proof-reseal-window-frames.80294/

Not a lot of time for pictures but this story needs to be preserved. We dragged a partially filled sea-can around with an M211. A little nudge with the bumper to slide it into place and Groot the 211 showed the beast side of these trucks.

A scoop fell out of a sea-can at a buddies so I grabbed you some numbers. It's real close to 6 1/2" x 5 1/4" with a 4" scoop. The flanges are 5/8" with one center hole at the back and side holes 1" down from the opening. Do you have a bender or should we look for a spare up here?

608 was only two posts before your last one. Seems like yesterday. Gunfreak25 and I had different measurements for front window glass so If you have glass measurements it'll help with gauging glass setting tape. Who doesn't have an imperial tape measure when ya need one? Here's a start. The...

I found some pictures I took of the Flying Kitchen from Operation Morninglight. The box sides had some brackets welded on so that might tell us a story. This one isn't as nice as yours but some of the Kitchen is there. The pics of the Kitchen from the Ed Storey Collection are over here and the...

I had the best help from two little nephews cleaning spark plugs and making sure I didn't wreck torus bolts. I was surprised how the youngest piped up with " We better get a fire extinguisher ready", when I said we're going to hook up the fuel. It's just a procedure that happens any time a Jerry...

Hey Dash lovin' deuce drivers. What kind of Air Pressure gauge (gage) do you have in your dash? Who has a sending unit and wires going to the gauge instead of an air-line? I grabbed a spare gage panel off the shelf and the air pressure gauge has wires in the back. I read the book.....wires...

AM General has some fences to mend. They ....AM General legal representation..... indicated in writing "We do not support ANY military vehicles in private hands". If you didn't know........... it's covered here around post #56...
