Ok guys I am stumped. It is probably some thing small I am missing but I need your help. About a month ago my M818's starter stuck in the crank position. Luckily I did not have a total melt down by the time I got the + battery cable off.
Today I pulled the starter and then took apart the...

I got a phone call tonight from a buddy saying that all of the tire lots that sold today at Ft. Lewis are being pulled. They have run flats in them and the Gov. got picky about that. Now all of the tires new or not are...
Ok I found this truck at her yard it is rare and savable I think. The interior is great. minus the bed it is complete. It is a Federal US Navy numbers on it. Not sure on year, or model.
Figure scrap price for this truck.
Weight of truck x $100 a ton and it could be yours.
Just thought that I would share with you the outstanding job that my father in law did on his truck. He did all of the work himself, I think it turned out great! Tell us what you think.

My used to be M818 With Deuce C bed on it UPDATED PICS
I have been in the process of putting a Deuce C bed on my M818. It is on and I have a few bolts in it, but I still need to move the rear bed mounts on the frame forward. Also I still have to mount the mud flaps. Then she is ready to be...
I just got around to posting these. About two weeks ago I was at home with my dad in the process of putting in air ride seats, when I got a phone call from my neighbor wondering if I could come to the rescue. About a half mile away the local Les Schwab truck pulled off to the side of the road...
We are about to purchase Rapco paint and are wondering what is the best reducer to use? We are not in a big enough hurry to use any hardner, I do not think.
Any thoughts tips or tricks are appriciated. I have been using the search button for a while, but there is too much info on there and not...
The deuce steering wheel measures just over 20" and my 5 ton steering wheel measures 17 and 3/4". My question is, can you put a 5 ton steering wheel onto the deuce column easily? Also are the centers (horn button) the same in the deuce and 5 ton?
This is just a solid safety reminder for anyone working around power equipment and/ or anything really.
Yesterday morning at about 1115 I was using a table saw outside, to cut a thin piece of paneling to repair a door. It was very windy outside and I did not think much of it. I had only one...
I have seen a lot of trucks that do have marker lights down the side of them and a lot that do not. Our 1972 AM General M35A2 does have them, but our 1986 M35A2C does not have them. Did they come with marker lights, or did someone add them?
I also am going to check the Oregon laws to see if I...
What is the inside diameter of the upper radiator hose for the M818. I came a cross a good deal on a volume of hose and I would give a free hose to the first person who answerers this! That is if you want it and if the hose I came across is the correct dia. Thanks guys!

This Deuce is my father in laws baby. Him and I worked on these upgrades to make it a more enjoyable ride for him and family. The jump seat in the middle is for their dog.

I know that somewhere I saw a picture of a deuce that had used two m105 trailer beds to replace the stock bed. They were cut down and welded together giving the look of two wheel wells. I just cannot remember if I saw it on this site or not. I was kinda thinking I saw it in an album of the guy...
