    Deuce Headlights.

    I need the current Wagner / NAPA number for the headlight of an M36A3. Bulb shows Wagner 4863-1. Our retailers say that this bulb isn't being made anymore. An alternative would be to switch to Grote/Truck Lights LED. Which P/N is the beast that we need? and any recommended suppliers? USA...

    Correct. We often run B Trains. C Trains are restricted to flat haul routes... mainly in the praries. Not worth a pinch of ... on windy mountain roads!

    An American Deuce in Canada

    Shoot me a PM. I'll send my cell number. Should have room for another truck, as 2 of the older dodges are having charging problems, and may be acting Blank files this year. Still haven't seen you for that Pint at the club .... Get.Er.Done! If I knew that you were looking for an M105, there is...

    Is this a M36?

    M36A2 for sure. Great truck, but the turning radius really sucks. Given the choice, I would take an A2 over an A3.

    M211 Batteries...what was there when the military was using them and what will work?

    If you have problems, send up a blank usb memory stick, and I'll send down the ones that I have. Jtonka (vendor on this site ... search!) has most of them online. As for batteries, 6TL s work fine. You don't need 6UTL as, that is rated for under water, and if you try to take an M211 that...

    My first heavy truck xm215

    Being in Warshington, try to find a hard top. Not as cool, but way better for an outside truck. I think that one of our members can probably point you at a cap that is functional ... if not currently pretty.

    Pre lube the crap out of it. Pull the plugs, dump some 40 wt down the holes. Yank the dist, and preload the oil pump with preasure. THEN, bar it over slowly. After, clean it and prep for a really short fire up. Rollie, the Goalie/ the wrench basher had better be there to stupervise. Wreck this...

    An American Deuce in Canada

    We will have 3 trucks in the Lynn Valley Days parade on Sat June 25. Come on up to the start point and ride along with us. Unfortunately, the WC52 is down, requiring a ring job and some electrical, so we're just bringing an M37, M135 and an M36A3. Plenty of room in the companion seats! I will...

    M221 missing winch parts

    Gordon Yeo in Ontario had a complete winch for sale. I think he wanted $600 for the whole thing .... that is if he still has it.

    1952 XM211

    Fuel tanks are still available. There are a couple of used tanks not far from you. IF you can afford the shipping, there is an NOS one near me, but Ralph will only deal with serious guys. If needed, PM me and I can try to get you in touch with him. Until then, search the threads on M135 and...

    My '54 M211 needs a gasket set!!

    Just a heads up, there are forums which deal with the early GMC engines. Stovebolt would be a starting google search. These old chunks of Iron were popular in early Hot Rods.

    m211 transmission will not shift

    Follow this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?17023-Hydramatic-Heaven If needed, I have some of the PDFs, but Tom would be the smart guy! Post which TM you require, and I'm sure that one of us can upload it. Sorry Dave, the Eastern CDN site is down, but most of them are...

    G749 preservation

    Um, yeah, they ran ... sort of. Whenever we were issued them, it was always a race to trade them for something useful. On my part, strong beverages were involved, and I never was stuck for long with anything less than an M1009. Itloids were horrible beasties. Mind you, now that I don't...
