RE: From the Army 1997 Weapon Systems book A buddy of mine has an A3 for sale for a very reasonable price right now... Only problem is that he got the truck several years ago (before they started to surplus running trucks) and the one he got had suffered severe front end damage (looks like it...

I'll pass this info onto our East Coast Convoy websmaster as he'll have to update that as well... BTW: registration for the 2009 convoy is active, and we have a dedication page on the site for our founder Bruce Kalin...

RE: Re: RE: USMC bumper mod. Good idea Mike, but Bruce had his Convoy sign mounted on the bumper in such a way that it blocks the hooks from view in my photos from both 2004 and 2005... I'll try to get some photos of the truck that I will measure so that they can be used a reference. The...

I have no personal experience siping or regrooving... Howerver, I have taken a lot of chunks out of hte blocks on my XL's over the years (1100r20 for the five tons, 1100r16 on a M37) in "regular" highway and farm use. I have not had problems with chunking on my XZL's on my M37 in a 900r16 but...

Don't have the dimensions handy (can snag them if no-one beats me to it), but do remember that the "paperclips" on a duece sit inboard a bit (about a foot) from the ends of the bumpers as opposed to the mounting location on a M37 (such as the photo of mine above that you are using as a...

A nice article on siping/grooving tires can be found at: http://www.4x4wire.com/tech/grooved_tires/ The guy in the article only worked on the center blockes of his tires in order to avoid chunking of the edge blocks. Bjorn has posted a few times on this site (including posting photos of his...

RE: weighted tag Oh, I forgot in my earlier post: You can only get the TP tags at either the Charlotte or Raleigh DMV offices, you cannot get them from one of the contract tag/title locations (ie: everywhere else in NC...).

Tell the boys to estimate the size(s) of the rebar that they are loading (or just read the sizes off the bars as they are stamped in--but they may be unreadable due to adheared concrete, etc.) and the length of the bars and to use the standard weights to calculate the load... Although the...

The application form for the TP tag does not have any restriction on hauling loads... It only states that a person who owns a truck 25 years old or older is said to be in the business of collecting antique trucks... You can haul a load with a TP tag. However, if you are hauling...

If I were you, and this was my first GL purchase (and first M35), I would contact somebody like AMGeneral (he's in Morganton, not that far from you) who has lots of experience retrieving vehicles and who not only has a couple of towbars but a collection of trucks (including a wreckeer) suitable...

I was going to put a line in about my posting photos tonight when I get a chance to actually take some... but I figured that I'd got that avatar posting in response anyway. :)

I thought I would post here instead of the five ton section since I think that this might affect some other sized trucks as well... The other day, I lost the air line in my XM813 that connects the firewall manifold to the air pressure guage... The speed at which I went from 120psi to 0psi was...

RE: update As MD says, Gilbert's been AWOL from the forum, and he was the one who was spearheading this (although I was going to provide one/two beachouses for it) so it didn't happen this year... My folks are at the beachhouse right now (and will be through Thanksgiving), but the offer to...

I've done this more than once by removing the vent line and putting my blowgun (with the rubber tip attached) up the tank vent and giving it a shot of air. Works well, especially if you have somebody else in the cab who can crank the truck while you apply the air (so that it is pumping while...

I've posted about this elsewhere (and I'll do a search and will see if I can find it for a cut and paste here...), but in North Carolina, you get a NON-Commercial class A, B, or C (C being the defualt that everyone gets when they go in for a "regular license to drive a car/pickup, etc) that is...

Military battery is a pair of 2HN, a civilian size that fits well is a 22NF. Fanbelt is a Gates B52 (I think that this crosses to a NAPA 5L520W). There is a PDF cross reference chart on my website that is located at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/PartsCross.PDF Good luck,

Good to meet you both at the monthy meeting yesterday. Looking forward to helping you with the "new" ride and to seeing it in the local parades and events. Welcome.

If the link works, you should see a Holmes 20 ton fifth wheel wrecker (commercial version) for sale about fifty miles from me. If anyone wants it and makes a deal, I'll be driving by the location twice in the next two weeks... I'd be after it, but I have no tractor right now... It's on Craigs...

If you want one, I have a spare M37 in the back yard that I'll trade for the R2... And I can arrange to have the M37 hauled to the GA rally if you wanted to make the swap...
