Agreed, I am of the camp that we should do 2 runs a day, not 1 large run, and the first run should be 830-1 or so, then back for lunch, then out again 2-6. But we always seem to get a late start, it's hard to get people moving out of camp any earlier due to families, cooking breakfast, etc. So...

The AM32 trailer uses M37 rims I believe, 5-bolt lugs. That trailer the OP posted looks to be 6-bolt lugs, bigger trailer. It looks like a lot of things that came out of the bombing ranges out west, that were used during the Cold War. There are countless modifications and variants of all...

Dude, I just read every post in this thread, and all I gotta say is WOW! GREAT JOB! Thanks for going all out and restoring this piece of history! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-OYKd8SVrI

I love the concept of owning a MKT, but I will probably never need a kitchen that can feed that many people, it's just overkill. But I'm glad you saved one for yourself, it's pretty nice!

This is a rarity, most were scrapped for the aluminum bodies. The engine and drivetrain are all M37, and there's plenty of parts for anything engine, tranny, Xfer, suspension, steering, hardware, etc. related on that truck. Only the body was unique, and that picture shows, to us, a very...

Should I bring scrapple to donate to the cause? Not sure if anyone wants to eat that crap, but it's cheap enough I could provide a couple packages.

Of course, I go out his way in a couple weeks, I'll snag some pictures while I'm there.

The boarding ladder that Gunzy has is the one for the deuce. I had several of them, they worked fine on M35A2 but would be too short (if hooked on the tailgate lip) for the 5-tons. Gunzy made it work, thanks to his ingenuity. If you decide you want the one meant for your M939 series truck, it...

That would be cool to see a HMMWV at the rally, never had one there before! I will be arriving Friday afternoon, around 5-6 pm. I doubt I will be the first one there, but if I am I'll figure out something to block off the parking area for us.

Yeah, definitely a road-only trailer. Wonder why they even bothered making it camo since it would probably never get off pavement into the woods. Better camo would be to paint it bright blue with PEPSI written in 6-foot tall letters down the side, would blend into any parking lot in America.

That's a nice start to a restomod CUCV. Congrats!

Nice concept for a build - subscribed. Might give me a few ideas for my shelter as well...

Might be cheaper in the long run to search Craigslist in your area and find CUCVs that are privately owned, or ones that are for sale in the classifieds here. For sure, some of what you will find for sale privately will be in better condition and for a fair price, than if you bought a GL truck...

We need shenkmen to make a spreadsheet and post it up of everyone who is going.

Less than 10 days to go till the rally! Hope everyone is getting their trucks in order for the campout and trailrides....

And yet another Steel Soldier realizes too late that the M101 and M116 series trailers are not dump trailers at all, since this feature is not listed in the manual, and by doing so you can, in some cases, cause damage to the trailer.

Great fab work to the OP, but now you've gone and kicked over the hornet's nest. M920 is gonna come in here, share his pics, and kick your a$$. Well, you'll be impressed, anyways....

I honestly think dark blue with yellow lettering on the side would be excellent for that truck. Something simple, like AIR FORCE and below it the inventory number. No hood markings, just on the door. Just like it is now, just paint the cargo bed the same color.

I keep daring SSers to paint a truck gloss white with "UN" on the doors and people keep shooting at me. :)

Back from the dead, with the shaved head.
