I have a Pioneer Tool trailer on an M116 chassis I will bring if there is serious interest. It has good rubber, the hinges are good, all the doors lock, the lights and parking brakes work and the body is solid. It it road ready and I have a transferable NY registration for it. $1,000 OBO...

Depending on your budget I like NDT's idea for more than the ride. A good heavy truck boneyard will be able to get you a rear end geard for better highway speed. Lance

The M1028 has extra stiff rear spings as it is a shelter carrier. All the CUCV puckups are designed to sit level with a full load so at rest empty they should be higher in the rear. If you put stiffer taller springs in the front end you might have a bouncy and squirrely front end with a heavy...

Well, if it comes to the worst case you've got a couple grand in scap steel and a lot of saleable parts. I'm guessing he hasn't been in a burning rush to sell the trucks so maybe a thread tilted something like "Deuce inspection help in XXXX, OH area needed" might get you an experienced set of...

We're a few miles from Exit 40, mile 304 on I-90 in NY. About 150 miles west of Albany. Shoot me a PM if you want my contact info. Good luck with the trip. Lance

It is worth noting that the M915 and M939 trucks were designed during the period when the US had a 55 MPH (90 KMH) national speed limit. Due to the long lifespans of military trailers the there was likely consideration given to the maximum road speed limits of the then current trailers which was...

JT, if you get locked up can I go to your place and borrow the excavator with the thumb? This is another example of the alleged news media making a mountain out of a molehill. There was an Honor Flight out of Syracuse yesterday and as early as Friday the local media was saying that they would...

zebedee, the Bouckville show info is in the newsletter along with the info for the Military and Veteran's Appreciation Event (in conjunction with the Sahlen's Six Hours of of the Glen) at Watkins Glen International Speedway and the info for the airshow in Cortland for which they are seeking MVs...

You might try calling a Cummins shop and see what they say. The Cummins website show several in AZ. Lance

No I don't have anything on that show. I'll call her. there will be a short newsletter going in the mail tonight with the picnic flyer and info on another show. Lance

I'll shoot you the info later this afternoon. Lance

Correct. I should have said something like "the organized militia that later became the National Guard" or some such. My point was intended to be a good natured comment that the various militia forces were in the field serving long before the Army as we know it came along. I'm sorry it didn't...

Good question. No it does not. Thanks Lance

The NY-PENN Military Vehicle Collectors Club will be having it's annual picnic at our farm outside Auburn, NY at 1 PM on 27 July, 2013. The meal will be catered roast chicken and pit smoked BBQ ribs with sides etc. Soft drinks provided, otherwise, bring your own cheer but remember this is a...

I was gone on a kayak camping trip with Nancy so wasn't here for the actual day. Thanks for remembering it and thank you to all who have served or waited for others who served. I would note though that the Army is in fact one of the junior services. Really, really junior. The National Guard...

Good question. I have thought about it too and as I see it the advantage of buying current use brake, transmission and axle parts at the local truck part shop are pretty darn good compared to hunting down parts for my M813A1. Our M915A1 is even easier as with the exception of the 24 volt...

How do I delete this post? Thanks

We each have our personal preferences and your mileage may vary but here are some of my thoughts regarding which truck might be best. The M52 and M818 have single circuit air assisted hydraulic brakes. If you lose one line you lose all the brakes. The transmission doesn't give you any braking...
