I totally agree there,the Russians had their backs against the wall, but can you imagine what those trucks would be like today if we put our engines and transmissions on that chassis and needless to say what improvement would be on the chassis over the years, if only we took that design at the...

This goes to show you that we the USA feel off the wagon somewhere down the road for wheeled vehicle development. We have the top rated tanks, aircraft, naval ships. But when it come to wheeled vehicles for troop transport, we are still in the model "T" Ford era compared to the rest of our...

Tools, as with everything else the question lies, is one brand better then another? As a former aircraft mechanic for 20 years in the Air Force, and doing a frame up restoration on a M211, I have managed to break or wear out every type of tool and every brand of tool available through normal...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that did scouting with a deuce, If you read my article I wrote in issue #79, "restoring an M211" I did it just for scouting. I drove that deuce all over the Black Hills and Devil's Tower area in it. I'm not in scouting anymore, found a rail road job that took up all...

That's what I wanted to know, Heck a standard CD is 4 and a half inches, talking about blind spots! Of course being that they are military vehicles, the concern was what were you driving into (such as a fire fight) then what you were driving from. Thanks for both your inputs and I'll just make a...

Hi chuck From your explanation, it might be those fuse links, Fuse links can look OK but you have to ohm them out. Also ohm out all the wiring in the system. You want to make sure all your connections and wiring is good before you come to the conclusion that you have a bad part. Check every...

Right now I have a modification of a M35 A2 rear view mirrors mounted on M-211. They are OK but do not stick out far enough to see very well on the right had side. Question, how good are the originals? Are they big enough? Do you guys recommend some king of mount to up grade the mirrors? I want...

Still have them?

RE: Seabee markings I'm drooling as I look at those pictures. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!

lets try it again

Same here

I’m going to give my one-cent worth of information here again, and again let’s keep it simple. The 1st deuce as we all know and love is the CCKW – GMC. I’m going to go out on the limb here and say that it was referred to as the Jimmy, CCKW -503 or 353 and so forth, I have never seen anywhere...

My 1-cent worth of my opinion. I rebuilt two of these, one was using 30w oil and the other had ATF. There were no differences in the amount of wear or evidence of ring slippage. Both transmissions had the same problem – no reverse. (Broken reverse forcing cone) due to driver abuse. So my point...

I know this topic was entered back in April but for newer readers I went to google and looked it up on several different web sites, basically they all agree that Dextron II is no longer manufactured and became Dextron III. Dextron III is suited for new and older type gmc transmissions. Best...

By experience (by rebuilding two transmissions) the first thing all you automatic gimmy owners need to do is to mechanically lock out (HI reverse). The (reverse cone) is the weak link in this transmission. Its nothing but a disc that has a forcing cone that looks just like an ice cream cone...

Hey Ross, you’re lucky if Hank had the parts you wanted, I had my deuce for three years trying to find racks or braces for it, So I ended up taking a college course learning how to weld and fabricate projects. So with three years of not finding racks or tailgate, I ended building them. See...

I have rebuilt a couple of them, your problem sounds like its the spring sticking up from the top that that’s has a tab that has to line up in the grove, I wish I could remember how in detail did it, (its been a few years) but I remember I used safety wire of .020 to use as a guide. When it was...
