THANKS! That's what I wanted

Mine has a White LDT-465-1C and the plate has the same gap specs. Thanks for the link!

Hi: I have looked thru a couple of TM's but have not found instructions for zeroing and setting the throttle pedal/linkage/injector pump/fuel density compensator. My engine seems underpowered, but before I melt a piston/blow it up, I want to make sure it's all set to factory specs. I am...

If you still need help, I can send you pics/advice. PM me -Ken

Good, small car show. Joe A. showed up with a Vietnam-era 5-ton, an equipment trailer, and a WWII Dodge 1/2 ton pickup. Abel (?) showed up with a MUTT, and I brought my 2 1/2 ton. Mine's on the left, Joe's is center rear, and Abel's is on the right.

I want to thank all the guys here who helped with info and advice, ESPECIALLY vtdeucedriver! Also thanks to him for starting this thread. The veterans yesterday really appreciated the ride and were impressed by the authenticity of the appearance, which I couldn't have achieved without this...

Here's my '68 Kaiser-Jeep I'm almost finished with. I carried a group of vets from the Beaumont/Banning (So. Cal.) VFW Post 233 in the annual Cherry Festival Parade. We were awarded a 2nd Place trophy. The unit markings are for the 261st Transportation Company, 6th Battalion, 48th Group; they...

Can someone please post or PM me the location of the hood numbers. I need inches from rear hood edge to center of "U.S. ARMY" and from bottom edge of hood to bottom edge of registration characters. Almost done with my paint job; parade in less than two weeks. Thanks! P.S.: I don't have the...

Well-done!

I've been sand-blasting with 60 grit silica sand all of the sheet metal (doors, hood, fenders, etc.) and anywhere the frame is readily visible from a standing position down to bare metal, and also blasting all the other surfaces for chip removal and paint bite. This seems to work well so far...

These were front-line, in-service haulers when I graduated from high school ('86); THEY WEREN'T AVAILABLE and HMMWV's were controversial because they were so big and different from the Jeeps and MUTTS.... Yes I'm old(er)

On Sunday May 5th is the annual Antique Truck Historical Society's show- located on the grounds of the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA. Last year there were three M35's plus many WWII trucks an jeeps, not to mention a huge lot of antique civilian trucks, most restored, not...

I found an example of the symbol as used in Vietnam: The M35A2 was converted to a quad-.50 gun truck and so would be loaded all the time: As seen on this page: http://www.vspa.com/tsn-heavy-wpns-p1.htm Thanks to VSPA for hosting that site and David Dowdell for the first photo and Phil Block...

Sounds good. If I was restoring this truck to a previous specific unit and use, then I would re-mark it with the one shown in my picture and not have a bridge plate installed (affixed) to the grille. And what is shown is not a colon inside a circle, but a stencil "8" with the figure itself in...
