barrels of oil How many gallons of fuel were burned and how big the carbon footprint, to move a rock from here to there? Funny how tree huggers and folks of a certain ilk ignore certain things when they want something but if some museum or outfit in Kansas or Georgia or Kentucky, etc. did...

oh, a '42 tipper ya threw me off there, when I read the subject line I thought maybe it was a tractor trailer dump set-up since it was stated as 42 ft long. "whats this on my 42' tipper?" :grin:

Maybe check the website of the military vehicle collectors of CO and maybe thru that you may find somebody near you. Many of our members are around the extended Denver region.

I would do both The deuce I have now, I bought from GL. I won the auction in early July 2010, they didnt let me come get it till end of Sept that year, and I had been cleared for EUC on a M105 trailer the year before. Seems the possible hold up at that time was the maybe radioactive gauges...

Good looking truck. Cute kids. Ii used to have a '71. Best of luck to ya!

Bridge weight plate Technically, isn't a duece by itself supposed to state "8" on the bridge weight plate and "13" if it has a M-105 trailer attached to it? I don't know why mine has that letter "A" on it. If ya flip that part over it has the "C" on it for when you have a combo going with...

transmission tunnel I got mine from Lowe's, it's red and I paid about $40 for it. :popcorn:

Mvpa Someone above mentioned that the MVPA may be mostly concerned with parades and static displays of the vehicles. Well we will need to keep these things licensed, titled, etc. so that we may get to the parades and displays as we have to drive on roads to get them there. Most of us cannot...

She's gonna blow! We never know how the weekend warriors treated the trucks so an engine or trans may blow at anytime. I bought my current truck via GL and it came from an Air Force Reserve unit at the local air force base. I have changed all the fluids and filters and really baby it with start...

hey looky there Maybe you could get some steer linkage ideas from a M656 like member 'Cranetruck' has. sample pic of one of these from googling attached..... personally I think tackling a project like solving world peace would be easier than this endeavour. :)

Wowzer! That is an amazing job you did. Reminds me of the guy in the PNW that restored the HEMMT or PLS. :beer: What is your day job?

Goggle can sometimes be your friend I goggled c & c equipment. C&C Equipment specializing in M35A2 Military Surplus Parts and Custom Military Truck Builds He had a great thread on here just about a month ago of a real nice one. That build with pics and info is prolly on the site mentioned...

let's keep it moving.... Come on, torque specs for the oil drainage bolts? There may be, but these things ain't flying over the ocean for several hours like a 747 or sumthin. Get a torque wrench out for important stuff like head bolts, crakshaft bolts, flywheel bolts, etc. Don't sweat the...

Hey P-dizzle, What happened to your BV206? Did you get rid of it? We just got about 6" of snow down here. Thanks for posting the pics. At 11 tons, I would think the tractor would do rather well on it's own, seems the front tires could pull the back around if it loses traction back there...

good stuff I bought a bunch of military truck stickers from this guy, I think he is a member here, really good stuff. I will try to attach some pics of my truck with these stickers on it. I believe he has the pintel hitch sticker in three different colors or choices. The first pic is the...

hmmm my truck, and steelandcanvas' truck are rare? cool! I had better keep it locked up.

read, read, read Just keep reading and I say, don't worry about getting your first truck right, you can always sell the first one and from what you've learned, get a better one or more of what you want, the next time. I lurked for about a year at least on here and then bought my first deuce, a...

hydraulic switch My brake lights went out. Yesterday Bulldogmack13 helped me fix it since he has done this before. We went to NAPA and asked if they had a brake light switch for a 1987 AM General. The nice man behind the counter pulled out a book that had pics of switches in it...
