    To tow or not to tow that is the question! Peterbilt w/MV tow bar 6x6 cornbinder

    Is that a medium or medium heavy bar? If it's a medium, I would shorten it up a bit before towing 30,000#. I think you would be wise to add weight to the back of the Pete. With all that said, it would be advisable not to bolt that tow bar to the bumper. All the tow bar attachments for the...

    CUCV Gear Indicator Issue

    Often times the plastic tab that it part of a gauge bucket breaks off. You might be able to put a small screw with a bushing around it back near its place. The cable travels over this and back to the column housing to show the movement of the needle.

    Just bought a 1954 REO M35A1 original gas engine!

    I'm seeing 2 different trucks here. Are we speaking about the one in red oxide or the other with the giant bed? Any weird levers beside the driver's seat?

    Deep in the Heart of Texas, a Chinese Wind Farm Raises Eyebrows

    This is hardly related to our hobby. We're just going to put a lock on this before we have to fill out a "hurt feelings" report. Be advised, any attempt to skirt around the lock and get the last word will be dealt with accordingly.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I can't say enough good things about George and the folks at White Owl. They have helped me out of so many binds. In many cases they could have charged me much more but they didn't. Their prices are always competitive.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The 8274 is a thirsty winch but a very dependable winch. I prefer them.

    Conversion of Power Steering

    Bringing this back up. Since it's been a minute, wanted to see if any members here have done this conversion and could add any pointers. Truck in question is an M51A2, looking to "steer away" from the old steering gear before is steers away on it's own. Is the LDS pump adequate? Is the...

    Hello from the the best Carolina :)

    Congrats and welcome aboard. Looks like a fine truck to start with. If the electrical system is all stock you may need to look into the "Plan B" method of fixing the typical gremlins. BTW, I could be wrong but unlikely, you have a Navy truck!

    Wiring issues

    We have a TM section linked above. The one with schematics is TM 9-2320-289-20. The schematics are in the appendix. Congrats and good luck. Unscrewing a CUCV that someone else has screwed up can be a challenge.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It really is a great looking truck. I noted the hinged mudflaps indicative of an older gasser truck which leads me to believe the bed is original as well. Is the interior painted strata blue as well? I had a 53 Stude M108 that I converted to multifuel. While I was repowering it I started...

    Mulemac01 M275 2 1/2 ton Gas truck tractor ON-GOING restoration and rebuild tread.

    Wow, that is quite a find. I would have loved to find them when I had my 275. Might want to hold onto the ones you straightened. Would be great for an M48 project.

    Gasoline would also be good for getting you exactly what you need but you've sworn it off. A 6.0 would be perfect balance between power and efficiency.
