Mine sure did! Even tho I had to retube the driveshaft and need to replace the tranny to TC adapter. The second looks as you drive are a real hoot! And I can already bet that directions around here will be given using "you know the guy with the Army truck" in them! :wink:
I got some cheap wheels and tires from a guy who needed quick cash. I decided to try them on the 1008. I'm not gonna keep it lilly green original anyway. I just wanna have fun!
Yeah I don't wanna hijack this thread, but WHEN is that sherman being auctioned?
BTW: Congrats on getting the trailer. Instead of converting the brakes, all you need is some OD green to pull it! :wink:
Aw, you don't wanna mess with that. I'll tell ya how good a guy I am, I'll just come up and take that off yer hands. You wouldn't even hafta pay me anything. I'm that gooda guy! :wink:

Yep, the dreaded forklift into the T-case! It broke the adapter between the tranny and T-case and broke it almost in two!
As soon as I can, I will post pics of my tranny-T-case area. It seems that GL's forklift not only got the driveshaft, they got the tranny or T-case. It is the area that has the mounting bolts for the T-case. I don't know which this is because it is really between the two cases.
Anybody got a...
I agree. I'm already looking for a driveshaft. :cry:
We took interstate all the way. I towed at about 60 mph to start with, but got up to 65 or so after I lost my newbie jitters! :wink:
Of course in the mountain passes I slowed a little to take it easy on my Silverado. I COULD have gone...
I bought a standard Reese towbar from AutoZ and then bought two 2"X 6" recievers from TSC (Harbour F has them cheaper but longer). Then I used the info from tlm47201 to make the adapters to fit on the lifting lugs. The thread where I found all this is at...
