    Help ID Military Trailer M105?

    Picked this trailer up today from a farm auction. Data plate says Stevens A2501M67. Don't know why it is not in order, but I'm guessing this is a variant of the M105 1 1/2t trailer around 1967. But I can't find any reference to the steel landing wheel. It is 24v with military tail lights...

    Mystery holes in A2 fenders

    Looked at a friends 73 Ax today and pretty original, not a lot of Bubba mods. Missing lift rings and brackets on front, felt like holes in the rear for snorter and antenna mount. But, on each front fender, five hholes in same pattern on both front fenders about half way from cowl to grill...

    I restore a lot of military vehicles and reproduction, blank data plates have always been available for me to stamp with vehicle serial numbers and DODs. But, I need two for two M998s that are being restored and I'm not having any luck finding some. Don't know if it's a military regulation...

    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    Oooops, spoke too soone. After I moved all my mounts and bases between my two Humvees, one a slant back and one a soft top, I still come up a antenna wip lower section short. I have several of the small thread 6707 mast sections, but need one larger 3900 lower section. If anyone has one...

    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    So, with a lot of trial error, here is what I have. It appears that the 3900 base is the larger thread and most of my bases and antennas are of this model. The NOS antenna base and antenna mast I just received is a 6707 and is a small diameter thread. So, I don't need any adapters as I have...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    It is my understanding that MRAPs were equipted with these light bars and the power drain was causing issues, so they were pulled from them and replaced with the LED versions which are still in use. I do not think the Humvees were ever provided the Ibis Tek halogen lights due to this power...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    Have an opportunity to pick up a kit with at least two remote spots and several UV lights on several bars. NOS originally for the MRAP but was told will fit Humvee. All excited and then someone told me that these were surplused because they were pulled off all the MRAPs due to power issues and...
