Welcome to the site. There are quite a few of us around here. The Lone Star chapter of the MVPA meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 1900 hours at Camp Mabry. We'd love to have you attend. I saw my first bobbed deuce (in person) this weekend. I'd be interested in watching one being built...
These are decent motors, but not nearly as sturdy as the modern ones. Lotsa smoke =lotsa heat, and eventually lotsa walking. My opinion only, possibly worth only .01.

That's the location on the civvy vehicles. You might do a Google search for "GM VIN" or something along those lines. The VIN will tell you year model, engine type and size, where it was assembled, etc.
Hello, and welcome to the site.
If someone converted this from a CUCV, they did a very thorough job. Look at a picture of a CUCV. They had military bumpers with lifting shackles, a slave receptacle in the grill, the grill was different, and they usually had holes drilled in various place in the...
USASFF, I recommend a drill press. You might be able to use a hand drill and a good bit, if the hinge were clamped in a vise, but if you have access to a press I strongly encourage that.

When I changed my mirrors, I had to take the right side door and hinges completely off the truck, and drill out the pins. No amount of pounding with a hammer would move them.
Bandman, if you talking about the breacket that I think, you have to cut it off the truck. Please post pictures if...
Any of the Chevy trannies will work. GM used a universal bell housing pattern. TH 350 is not quite as strong, but it will hold up under all but the harshest conditions. Same for 700R4, plus you get an overdrive. The 465 4-speed is a good, cheap, usually available candidate, but you have to...
OK, I have to confess that I have been a little skeptical about this alleged V-100. I have heard about (a lot) from Rory, but it always seems to be 3 months from completion. Now, I have known Rory for about 18 months, and last week he told me it was about 3 months away from being completed. I...
Pintle height is 36". When I pulled mine home, my pintle adapter was about 24" high. The trailer pulled great behind my Duramax. You won't even notice that it's behind you.

m813rc, Pawnshop, and myself picked up (2) M105A3 trailers last fall. There are 2 or 3 different yards out there, and we never actually went on base. They met us at the gate, and led us to the yard where the trailers were. The people we dealt with seemed nice, but there was absolutely no help...

Preparing to go to work. (Checking SS first). All I can think is, "What beautiful weather for camping out in the deuce". You guys have fun, and, as Rory said, take/post lots of pictures.
Scott
Thanks for reminding me, Rory. Nofear, give me a dollar amount and an address, and I will send you a check.

Guys, it doesn't look like I will make it after all. Two weeks ago, I was literally doing nothing. Now, everybody's in a hurry, and I will have to work this weekend.:-? Good luck, and hopefully I can be at the next one.
