I agree that the 5 ton platform would be the ideal candidate...I also agree that it would cost a butt load of money for two donor trucks...unless they were already partially parted out......you just need the frames, one steering axle and one engine and tranny. Since 5 tons dont get parted out...

Not me....all the military trailers I have now or have owned were metal. Most of the big trailers the Army had (that I pulled) had a wood or wood/metal combination deck. This included the road trailers that were pullled by transportation units. I have seen some big lowboys on GL that had all...

NDT, It is the tank next to the air dryer.....it hangs lower than the others. Once I get it home I can get measurments and call a couple of big truck scrap yards. I guess the issue will be if the donor tank has all the necessary holes that the 915 tank does.

If you have a non-turbo truck it will smoke a lot more with alt. fuels. Even a turbo will smoke under the right conditions. If you lug the engine you will put out more smoke....keep it wound up until you get to good operating temp.

There is a SS rally every year in north FL......near Claremont (I think). Recovery 4x4 can give you details.

Last week I went to Redstone to check out the M915 I scored. It is intact and in decent physical condition. The most obvious problem is that one of the air tanks had been removed and was inside the cab. Closer examination revealed that the tank was riddled with pinholes. Does any have...

He started it.rofl

A few of us have kicked the idea around. My thought was to use the walking beam setup from the rear to mount steering axles on. Basically welding two rear halves together to make one unit. There are a butt load of HEMMT cabs on the market now so finding one should be easy. The big issue...

Mea Culpa:doh::doh::doh: Here is the new poop, The GAMVPA 2009 Southeastern Fall Rally and Swap Meet will be at American Legion Post #201, 201 Wills Road, Alpharetta, Georgia 30004. See the website: Still Serving America Swap meet, military vehicle displays, concessions on site. No live...

I bought a trailer from Recovery 4x4 that I intend on making a lowboy from. It is the one that is under the expando vans. A SS member posted one that he made and it looked professional. Finding someone that wants to set the van up without the trailer might be an issue.

If I can work it around my school schedule should be no prob. If it is at the Nat. Guard facility I have been there twice and those guys are easy to work with. It would help if I knew it was a driver since I don't always have someone to go with me. PM me for contact info.

Well....just remember that Papa Bear's brain is slim pickens.rofl Welcome to the MV Funny Farm.:cookoo: You need to deep six that CUCV idea a jump right into a deuce. As a matter of fact I have a couple that need a good, loving home.:mrgreen: You are very close to several GA members and...

If you are close to Gadsden, AL, I have a deuce without bed that is begging to be bobbed.....good runner and very reasonable price. If you don't want the engine, the price would be even better. It is cosmeticaly challenged but would love to go home with you. PM for details.

The vehicle is equipped with troop seats as are the new vehicles the military replaced it with. Easier to beg forgiveness that ask permission. I would be more worried about the insurance issue.....will they cover you if someone is injured getting in or out of the vehicle or if you were involved...

I have a CDL and am well versed in the regs. At one time I hauled HAZMAT for a living. Waste motor oil is not considered hazardous...all you need is a stencil on the tank denoting "USED MOTOR OIL" to alert first responders as to the cargo. Veggie oil would be considered "FOOD GRADE LIQUID" and...

I have some new-in-the-box NOS 5 ton multi-fuel tanks for sale if anyone is interested. PM for details.

Teresa is The Man.......errrrr WOMAN at Redstone GL. She has helped me out many a time. If all GL sites ran that well they would have a lot fewer problems.

Ferro, What is your timeframe??? Since there is safety in numbers maybe a convoy would be in order. Lead deuce, fuel truck, maint truck (with tools and towbar), trail vehicle. I am retired and have time on my hands (when not in school). I have an M49 tanker that will carry a lot of fuel. If we...
