I'd also like to know if these trucks are actually being used with heavy loads off road. I sure don't see enough clearance for suspension articulation. Can someone with personal experience in working a truck with these off road please comment? We use ours off road a lot more than they are on...

Leaving aside the "That Aint oak" and other posts for a moment, the original question was "What kind of wood..." The seats I've seen and worked on are mostly hickory. We one time referred to the MILSPEC to have slats locally fabricated and it was mind numbing. It read something like...

Olive-drab.com has a good bit of info. Go there and use the search function. You'll find links to most every family of post WWII vehicles and a lot of earlier ones. Lance

The amount of work involved and the pros and cons change depending on which specific model or vehicle family you are asking about. CUCVs are the trucks most likely to be converted to 12V. Which model are you asking about? Perhaps a thread title change stating the model will get you better...

The Auburn, NY (Cayuga County) DMV has a couple of folks who are very knowledge in dealing with old vehicles, including MVs. There is one gal in particular, Jo Anne. who has been very sharp and helpful. It may take a couple of trips to the window to get all the paperwork correct but it has...

Are they looking for MVs in general or for "Jeeps"? Our 18 year old attends Embry-Riddle, just across the runway from the speedway, and has his M1009 there for the few days he doesn't want to ride his motorcycle. Lance EDIT: Oops! His dorms close on 10 May. By the time this starts he'll be...

Item 2 is the bottle base for the ether start kit. Item 3 should have a plug in it. The bottom of the breather tube should have a length of oil resistant hose to get the blow-by down below the axle tube. It'll keep things cleaner. Item 4 is OK just the way it is. I don't see anything that...

I've seen them with both chucks for round and hex bit shanks and set up for bits with Morse taper shanks. The mose taper ones were used for both drilling and reaming holes to bigger diameter and always seemed to be slooooow in comparison to the drills with chucks. Maybe the ones with chucks...

We used to have a variety of them around to supplement the humdingers for tasks that didn't involve a lot of cross county work like running errands, plowing snow, providing ambulance support for ranges etc. They were also used for some road trips to keep the wear and tear on the hummers down...

I had a somewhat similar deal when they charged my debit card and it was over the then $2,500 limit my bank allowed for a charge where the actual card is not swiped and where I had not let them know in advance. I eventually got it straightened out. I seem to remember that the way I handled...

Forget NDTs or NDCCs for snow and ice. I have pushed through bumper deep drifts of dry snow with my singled M35A2 and 11.00R20 XLs . In wet snow I try to avoid anything much deeper than the top of the axles. Ice is a crap shoot. Here is some info on XL pressures...

If the budget can support it, go with the store bought option. Your used one is likely 25 years old, too. It'd be different if it was a recent NOS part. The swap is straightforward. Follow the TM directions and be sure to follow all the steps in the TM. Unless you can figure a way to...

They are worth so little that you should ship them to me for free so you don't have to look at them....:roll: They are most likely M101 racks. The bed of an M101 is a dead on 8'. Some are even a tiny bit under and closing the tailgate with an 8' sheet of plywood or an 8' table laying in them...

Even the stock 9.00-20s will support a maxed out M35 when singled. Any increase in tire size and weight rating is simply a matter of personal choice. The original M34 trucks had single 11.00-20 tires with a wheel well in the bed, flipped hubs and rims with an inch or so less offset to widen...

A 2' pipe wrench will span the pulley and get the job done until you can get the real deal. Just pad it so you don't scar the pulley. Lance

Yes, the 11.00R20 XLs fit the stock rim. My truck had flipped hubs when it came from GL and since the dual rim has more dish than the older style M34 single rear tire rim the track is still about 2 to 2-1/2" narrower than it was with the M34s. With the flipped hubs I've never felt like the...

I have M35s with both dual NDTs and single XLs. The XL is far and away a better snow, sand and mud tire. The difference is great enough that I hope to switch my "pretty" M35A2C w/w to dual XLs. The NDTs give a quieter and smoother ride, particularly at slow to medium speeds where you can...

Wet stacking is the presence of unburned fuel and, usually, moisture in the exhaust system when an engine is not running hard and hot enough to burn all the fuel and dry out the cold exhaust system. Most of it comes from fuel condensing on the relatively cold cylinder surfaces before it can be...

We live in Sennett, about half way between Auburn and Skaneatles. I'm proud to say that I helped infect Greg and through him John in Cazenovia. I've got a M35A2 with single 11.00R20 XLs and a nice M35A2C drop-side truck for sale. Also, Ed King has a couple of M35A2s for sale in Auburn, too...

I don't think any of the M44 series had factory installed slave receptacles (unless it was the late '80s ones) Sometimes we added them without installing a heater. We always added them when we installed the standard heater kit, though, and they used to be a component part of the arctic kit...
