Hey, the batteries are good... (or at least, they had a charge on them when the truck was loaded... ).
It needs a fuel filler hose/neck as it was removed when the fluids were drained. It does have a tear in the driver's seat about six inches long and their are a pair of drill holes between...
Well, this truck left the house at lunchtime today... Had a rollback pick it up and haul it a mile to a shopping center where we stuffed it into the back of a 53' refeer backhualing to Wisconsin... No photos of the CUCV getting loaded as I was too busy helping to shove it off the rollback...
The truck runs well, brakes need work as the fluid slowly seeps out so the guy I purchased it from said that he just topped it up once a month... Tires are good (in fact, one of the first things I am planning to pull if the truck doesn't sell as a whole are the tires/wheels). Lights need to...
Do you have all the parts for your conversion already or are you still in the planning stages?? I've got a cargo truck that was converted to a tipper parked on the farm just north of Charlottesville that I will be parting out soon (unless somebody wants to give me the $1600 that I paid for...
That's a glitch, bug, problem... :(
Thanks for the head's up, I'll make sure that Amnon knows about that as he is handling that segment of the site...
It is supposed to go to the Paypal screen...
Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the M151 "gang"...

I have purchased several disc brake setups for Ray (just ordered three more sets in fact) and have found him a great person to work with. Great product, wonderful support, etc.
He's only planning on being in the US for a few months before he heads back to Thailand (his wife is from there and...
Great to hear that the new truck (the dump) is in such good working condition... I won't have to hide my M817 when you come to visit... :)
Also good to see the GOER headed to a new home, sad to see it leave your yard, but good to see it going to a place where a bunch of folks will be able to...
The website is up and running... www.eastcoastconvoy.com
Many thanks to Mangus580 and Amnon for all the work that they have put into it. Still to come are the list of participants and photos from prior convoys' (they have to resurect the info from three different servers that have hosted the...
RE: Re: RE: Bolts
Tom at Snake River 4x4 stocks the square washers and has the best prices on them last time that I checked... John Bizal also has them in stock...
We'll be running the same commo setup as last year... Same frequencies, etc. for the PRC25/77 and similar...
Phone numbers, frequency list, and channels (CB, walkie-talkie) will be sent out to participants the weekend before the Convoy.
Bob,
Shot you a reply email... Love to have your gang join us again this year, both in the convoy and the eats on Friday (looks like we will be convoying offsite to a local park, so you get some windshield time as well... ).
We're going to do the shirt deal again... :)
No, I'd say that the person doing the website (who I agree could just change the image for the shirt, update the dates, etc. and let it rip...) has to keep his boss happy and thus has problems devoting the time to doing the updates although he thought that he did...
As far as effort in planning...
We have the same routes/meeting locations and schedules as last year. Got a shirt design and just got prices on them from the shirt folks this week. Still talking to the folks at Aberdeen about Friday food (they have a long list of issues with us having the party on site, and with us...
A couple of places that I use for mail order of bulbs are:
http://www.bayareaamusements.com/
http://www.1000bulbs.com/
Both have large supplies of bulbs for industrial/commercial use including automotive ones... Search around on the sites as I know that they have 12/24/36volt stuff and kinda...
I'd use this as an excuse to swap to Hella H4 lighting and really improve the amount of light that you are putting out... Otherwise, just order a pair of bulbs from one of the dealers that specializes in MV's such as Saturn Surplus or ODIron (to name two) as you'll most likely get a better...
I've sent a PM about this as I've got a buddy who wants a tanker, and I've got a very nice M35A2 sitting in the yard that is available...
KY isn't that far away from NC... :)
We've covered this before (so do some searches and see if you can find a more concise set of answers...)... But, off the top of my head:
M101: Five lug rims (Budd, 6.50Hx16, same as on the M37 familly of 3/4 ton trucks), 900x16 tires, brake handles have the "squeeze" trigger release and are...
So, I'm up at the farm in Virginia this weekend, spent some time wrenching on a MEP-005A generator (it's now purring like a kitten and making power...) and didn't get a chance to look at the new truck until today...
The truck is actually a five ton gasser cargo that has been converted to a...
