    Does this mean that I don't want to use the part# that you gave me? :shock:

    How gay is this?

    Not sure. They are American Racing, but not sure after that. The tires are almost new and they drove nice. Now if I could just get a 700R4...... :cry:

    M1008 - first drive

    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:

    How gay is this?

    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:

    pulling m1009 with m1009

    I just towed my M1008 644 miles behind my Siverado 1500 pickup. And that was thru the Appalachian Mts. I admit that at the beginning I was REALLY nervous. But with caution for the other idiots out there, it can be done safely. Of course this is just MHO! :lol:

    Tranny or T-case cracked!

    Tranny or T-case cracked!

    I couldn't fit the camera up in there, but it seems that the adapter is all that is hurt. It is cracked almost completely around the adapter. I can't see any cracks in either the transmission or the T-case. I think it is WAAAY beyond welding! :shock: Lance I will PM you.

    Ft Mead pickup on 9-19 MAYBE!

    Update: The driveshaft had to be retubed and then I found this drip...drip...drip...! :evil: Yep, the dreaded forklift into the T-case! It broke the adapter between the tranny and T-case and broke it almost in two!

    Tranny or T-case cracked!

    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...

    644 miles on a towbar!

    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...

    644 miles on a towbar!

    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...
