    Stripping the box off of an M1010

    I have done one, I cut the back out of a donor cab, at the time I had no welding equipment and used rivets. The frame has extensions welded on just cut at the weld the holes for the original bumper are there I used a CUCV pickup rear bumper it bolted right on. A couple of years after I did it...

    Vinyl or canvas covers??

    CME_ARMA in FL shows about 100 or so in invantory but good luck getting them to sell you one, they refuse to talk with you on the phone, deny requests for quote, won't reply to PM's here on SS etc. A few of us have tried having them made from the OEM as well but the minimum Qty and price kill...

    M151A1 suspension again

    The military made a under body repair kit to repair all of those areas, they seem to be harder to find now. I drove an A1 for quite some time unmodified and never had any problems, speed and inexperience are what cause accidents.

    Is m1010 worth my time?

    Chances are it runs fine but the electrical system is hacked and the glow system not working. Simple to fix issues and good luck.

    Vinyl or canvas covers??

    If you need rear end covers he has them too for $20, never seen them any cheaper. The rear covers are quite scarce, perhaps someday a stash will be found. Would love to see pictures of your rig.

    Mighty Mite radio?

    There is a mite displaying a radio kit at this club site, www.flmvpa.org I don't know if it's correct but may be a place to start.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    The Goodyear seems to be made of a stiffer rubber compound and doesn't flatten out like the denman's. I'm going to use some 12" 2x6's to open them up over the winter.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Made the 180 mile round trip today to fastenal to pick up 2 NOS gama goat tires. My brother the FB hound found 4 NOS tires for sale in GA at a military museum so I contacted them and purchased the lot of 4. I knew my friend Tom needed tires for his so we split the lot. 3 were Denman, first I...

    Aussie goat needs new shoes

    Tires look great, I suspect the 10 ply DUKW tires were a bit tougher to expand on to the bead, good job.

    M1008 rear carrier

    I have and it worked great, I also installed a 700R4 in my M1010 and it was much better.

    Gamma goat brake questions.

    The M715 wheel cylinders are handed, the Goat cylinders work in all 6 positions, they look the same but are not. Best to have your shoes re-lined, I know of no source to purchase ready made shoes, there is a place on ebay with shoe linings and a good deal on 6 new cylinders. I think all of us...

    I have joined the Goat herd

    Great to hear she is moving under her own power. I changed out those hoses while the engine was out, boy those must have been fun. Keep up the good work.

    Some Rapco spray paint pointers

    I have had the same issues, one key thing is to shake, shake, shake until you can shake no more, I have cursed many of those cans. I did find recently that the paint sold by Ron Fitspatrick/G503.com is a much better spray can and the paint is great, it has a spray nozzle like the Rustoleum cans...

    M893 ambulance questions

    Sent a PM on the door handles, fenders can be had but I don't think the radiator support and grill are being made.

    I have done both swaps, the 700R4 was much better in my opinion.
