Nope - about the same size, but a very different bed. DD

As ya'll know, I'm not usually much on mods - but whoever grafted the frame of that M125 such that it can take the power of the big LeRoi and transmit it to that pintle deserves a nod. They were shy about the front bumper either. The bed of the M125 is unique - and very hard to find. Would...

There is/was a massive lot of these on GL lately. IIRC, the ones on GL were removed from M113 APCs - so there should be plenty of bits to go around. The next question - WHY were they removed? DD

It is my truck - and yours too. If they did this fleeing certain death - I'd say more power to them. If they broke the frame stacking 155mm rounds above the cab to move to troops that needed them in the heat of battle - and say such is the consequences of war. To do this for "recreation" -...

Like ACE said - I doubt there were any negative impact at GM for this position. Think about it - during WWII GM wouldn't let copies be made of its CCKW. Studebaker let their US6 be licensed - and Reo built clones. The Halftrack Group of White, Autocar and Diamond T was an example of...

It is still there.

The search function on this site is not compatible with AOL - could that be the problem you are having?

I'd have to look at my records to confirm this, but as I recall, they were 105s. HTH, David

The army wanted automatics in WWII - I have photos of a CCKW test truck with an automatic in it. FWIW, the WWII-era M5, M5A1 and M24 tanks all had GM Hydramatics in it. This was in an era when virtually all civy vehicles had manual transmissions - the object was the smooth off-road performance...

Thanks for the kind words about my book guys. I figure that this site refers to the G-749 trucks as the "early" deuce 'cause that's what Chris wanted to call it! And, it does separate them clearly from the WWII vehicles and the G-742. In fact of the matter the Reo design (G-742) predates the...

From my book......" Enormous consumers of resources, not only in production but also logistically, only seven of the huge mortars were built, with the last one being completed in 1942. With such a low production number, and being such a huge machine, there was a certain amount of variation...

I'd go with the M35A2, uncut. Be diligent in the maintenance of the brakes - and try to buy a later model truck with the dual circuit brakes. These trucks were designed to be driven by 17-19 year old men (not a lot of 40 year old truck drivers in the military - especially over 20 years ago -...

That'll make a fine shop copy - just wipe the grease off!

if you know the maker - or the VIN - then where built is doable. Where stationed is beyond my means. Regards, David Doyle

Its a 1969 Kaiser-Jeep. Regards, David Doyle

You did not specify what type of truck you have. M34/35 and M135/M211 take different types of antifreeze than the M35A1 and M35A2. Make darn sure you drain your airtanks daily. As an intermediate step prior to resolving the winch issue, I'd strongly suggest removing the shear pin. Depending...

Welcome to the group! Regards, David Doyle

If you figure on just over a hundred gallons of gas you'll be good. This is allowing some for hills and poor tuning. Take brake fluid and know how to check it - even if the former owner checked it yesterday. Regards, David

It looks like it would be a nice truck if the rear end wasn't hacked off.

Memphis Equipment will have all the carb parts. What kinda specifics do you want to see? Timing light setup much cheaper than an engine. Regards, David
