Of course there is a good parts book for these trucks... One of the official TM's for it is nothing but a huge, illustrated, parts book... In addition, I have a cross reference list on my website that lists NAPA, Carquest, etc. for a lot of items... For manuals, your best bet is to get the...

Congratulations! There is a dealer list on my website of folks that I have used and recomended (including contact info) for both hard parts and for canvas. I think Sheldon at Jeeppanels Plus is reproducing that cross piece, if not, I suspect that I can find one in the back on a parts truck that...

You don't need to worry about the hog cooker, or the other "feed the masses" equipment, I've got that covered... (although I would like to have a kitchen trailer to go along with my other catering gear...). Just worry about getting a firepit together for that evening warmth/social...

Re: RE: Convoy idea..... ditto... I've agree to have four of my trucks in the Raleigh Veteran's Day parade on Nov. 11th...

Don't feel bad Kenny, I've been bassically giving them away as well... Got more of them for sale in NC/VA area then buyers..

I've got a few more photos of this truck on my website taken during the 2004 East Coast Rally at Ripken Stadium (Aberdeen)... Including some of the truck with the sides extended showing the interior and exterior... Take a gander at photos 73-78 on the convoy/rally photo page located at...

Yes, the brake lights do run through the turn signal switch on the steering column. I've found that the contacts in them tend to get corroded so you need to check it next/as well... Good luck.

I had to replace mine a couple months ago after the belts cut loose and took out the upper radiator hose. While I was at it, I redid the ones on the upper manifolds as they looked abotu as bad as the hose piece that you have pictured... Upper two little ones are somethign like 1.75" ID, the...

RE: Opinions on value of this bobbed duece I can't say if it is worth that much in the sense that YOU have to figure out if having a vehicle like that is worth that to YOU... I can say that I have seen this truck in person (in action offroad on some real nasty trails in the Uwharrie National...

Well, Graham started the Yellow Serial for us this year in Marietta, GA, and claims that he will be participating in 2007. That means that those of you running up I85 will be able to start your march unit early and then join up with the Yellow Serial participants from Western NC around...

Re: RE: ANYBODY HAVE THE SAME EXP. WITH INSPECTIONS? Since the truck is over 10,000 lbs, you fall under the federal inspection (FHWA Periodic) so you get to do it yourself. Most folks think that you have to have the sticker on the truck, but in actuality, the federal regulations state that...

In North Carolina, you do not have to have a safety inspection if your vehicle is an antique (by age, not by type of registration), so nothing over 25 years needs to be inspected. However, vehicles over 10k lbs fall under the FMVCSA rules, so you should have a duece inspected, or not...

I have some real, military, International Orange (not the tracktor company, but the Federal Standard name) paint in the shed. Not sure what I'll put it on (may just sell it to someboy who needs it so here we go...). A lot of stuff gets color coded depending on use and location, including...

I am so green right now (and no, I have not been spraying paint...)... Great looking rig. I have to get one...

Don't split it up. I also use the "most recent" view for 90% of my posts. Only when I am looking for something specific or am starting something new do I actually go to the listing of different forum areas. I also like to see what folks are doing in different areas, especially since you...

Actually, it is sitting on the M1016 trailer next to your whiffletree... I had to move some stuff around the yard last weekend and was too lazy to go around the house to get mine...

Looking forward to having you next door again... Missed you last year. I promiss to not use the phrase "don't worry, we have a wrecker" when talking to East Coast Convoy Participants... :) I'll be dragging up my M274A5 for parts running duties as well... Not sure what else I'll be driving...

I just got an email from Karen yesterday inquiring if I still wanted my order since they had not yet recieved payment. My response was that they had not told me what the total was... Somewhere along the line, the email from her to me with the total had gotten lost, so I know that she is...
