That sounds like a whole lot of trouble. I would NOT run that engine again. Take off the sump and look for a fractured piston before any more damage ensues. My 1/2 penne'th.

The problem you are experiencing is most likely with the air pack Which is the 'power assistance' on your trucks braking system. Try sitting in the cab engine off, NO AIR PRESSURE. press the brake pedal. Start the engine and build up the air in the system. Now press the brake pedal. Any...

Welcome to the site, the hobby, friendships, and events to come. I hope you succeed in your quest to find an 'alternate home'. These trucks can be SO modified and tweaked to suit ones 'needs'. (and) something great to tinker with in retirement. (retirement = 'new found leisure' (fun time)). You...

Welcome to the site and the hobby. Nice tidy looking trucks.

As mentioned, the grounds are crucial on the dash.

Glad to have you back in the 'herd'. The M561 is one of a kind. We get looks of amazement every where we take it. (or, astonishment).

Cer..ri..kee!!..Dogs, hogs, bears, snakes, Cats...'meeces n 'other things'...I'd never go outside.

You have a suitably 'ugly' truck there..Nice..well done. And welcome to the site hobby and friendships.

I quite like the avatar rim colours

A big thank you chaps. Anyone assisting the furtherance of this site deserves that big thank you.

It's bedi bize time here, but I will take some pictures on and off the trucks tomorrow.

So come the weekend, we go to a show (classic car meeting (invited)), And convoy there with My M54, a Deuce, and the CCKW now painted 'Navy Style'. As the event is always jam packed and roads gridlocked we set off at 6-30 A.M. We arrive and the entrance to the park was something else...

Thank you, the weather here is over 30 degrees C, So yes, the truck is 'combat ready' to go. So hot you would not believe. I think we will go to a show by the estuary on Sunday..so, I will post up (and with) pictures. (when we return.).

After failed promises find and dispatch fire hoses or connectors to suit, and many many quotes to engineer and or tig weld 'something' to fit U.S. to British fire hoses to my M45 530C later, I had almost given up hope of making something up to suit. Ebay and much cost in shipping vat and customs...

Flathead V8 circa 1943 (a little larger than the V8 pilot unit) the twin radiator hoses and distributor on the front of the engine is a giveaway, and so the Engines (2?) were used in some tanks, the Stuart, and I believe some were in the W.O.T. Truck.

pee,ess! That engine was out of an 'armoured thingy' and dated 1943. Most appropriate I thought.

Well last weekend I changed out the axles springs windscreen on my 1942 jeep 'of many many many years'. Today I thought to service my other 1943 Willys jeep. I thought a plug needed cleaning..But, I (thought easier!) to put another engine in! (as you do?). Oh, and 700x16 tires. Still a bit...

When I fitted out my M35A2 with AEC Militant wheels and tires (200x20) I did not use the square st5uds, that is unsafe. I made 'Adaptor plates' to fit the original 6 studs, Using the original wheel nuts as well.and the plates (chamfered) carried the 10 stud AEC wheels. Using chamfered nuts and...

Nice truck, nice pictures. No wonder you enjoyed the trip.
