Trying to help out 2 friends at the same time with different issues.
First with the engine, are 6.5 and 6.2 heads interchangeable?
Will everything on a 6.2 fit into a 6.5? Water pump and etc
2nd friend has a transfer case that keeps jumping out of 4H. Where should I look first? The linkage was...
I am looking for the rails and back doors for my M101a1 trailer. Closer to Louisiana the better but I will be driving to Atlanta at the end of October, so if anyone is along the route that would work for me. It wouldn't even matter if the wood is rotten, I have left over wood from replacing...
I have been patiently waiting to get a trailer since I bought my truck several years ago. Found one pretty close and in very good shape for a 1968. Bed has been sprayed with bedliner and needs a good cleaning. I am so excited to get my hands on one.
I have a veteran friend of mine who would like to see if there is an option to install a cruise control on his M1097. He has rods and pins all the way from his ankle to his lower back (courtesy of Uncle Sam) and it makes it difficult for him to keep his foot on the accelerator while driving...
If someone has a gunners platform installed, would you mind taking a pic of where it is mounted or get a measurement of where the holes need to be drilled? Pic of truck it's going in.
Thanks

Had a great time at a VFW car show. I got to meet several veterans who shared their stories with me. One veteran I spoke with, showed me the original copy of his bronze star award given to him by General Westmoreland. I placed first in the military division and a top 10 spot.
I am looking at getting a "rough" M101a1 trailer. It is missing brakes, front landing leg, and chains. It will definatly Who is the go to for M101a1 parts?

Did the US Air Force have gun trucks in Vietnam? I understand they wouldn’t be in convoy use but for airfield defense maybe?
The reason I ask is for my next project I would really like to restore an M37 in strata blue, but if I could make one as a gun truck, that would be sexy!!!!
By the...
Does anyone know where I can locate either electronic or hard copies of the TMs for British CVRT family of vehicles? No particular vehicle yet as my buddy hasn't decided which one he is going to get. I will be helping out with maintenance and would like to have a copy to read through.
My son and I took the M37 to the Regional Military Museum in Houma, LA yesterday. Had a great time talking to all the veterans who had history with the truck while in Vietnam.
Had a great time in a local festival parade this morning supporting a great guy who is running for state senate. He is a Marine combat veteran so we had the globe and eagle flying.
I wanted to share my experience with everyone concerning getting my M37 registered and titled in Louisiana and a little history of my restoration.
It started about 4.5 years ago now that I took a trip to Alabama to get a 1954 M37 that did not have a title (Alabama does not issue titles to...
When time allows, I am going to look at a 1969 M274 A5 that if for sale not too far from me. The seller says that it runs and he recently added electric starter to it. What parts should I make sure are not missing (as I have read that some parts are becoming very hard to find)? Anything in...
I have a guy at work that just purchased 2 M103a3 with gensets on them from govplanet and asked me if I was interested in buying them as he has no interest in the trailers. I am not sure what to offer him for them. Could anyone help me out with a price to offer him?
Thanks
Mike
