Hey Bruce, is that Cherry Valley, as in just west of Lafayette? If it is there's a bunch of MV infected folks about 15-20 minutes west of them. Lance

Welcome aboard! I'm in Sennett, outside Auburn, and if your friend is Alphatruck, his truck is sitting lined up next to the corn stubble with some of ours. Give him a call, he may be coming over to get in some cross country driving in the snow. Your welcome to join him. There's also a flock...

If anyone's got a camo cover, I'm interested. If I can find one I'll sell my green one. Lance

Welcome aboard. We're in Sennett, outside Auburn. If you don't mind, what town are you in? Lance

M35s are considered as standard length. M36s are referred to as long wheel base (LWB) trucks. M813 5 ton cargo trucks are considered LWBs and M814s are considered extra long wheel base (XLWB) trucks. If you check the bed length, an M813 will probably do what you want. If memory serves, an...

The prices shown by GL after the auction never match the sale price or the price things were at at the scheduled closing. I've bought trucks for $2,300 that the post auction page shows as $970. Handy to show to the wife but it has nothing to do with reality. Go take a look at the last few...

If you have an air chisel, take the bit you use the least, grind it to a smooth rounded end and slobber up the nut and threads with penetrating oil. Then use the air chisel, on moderate to high air pressure to rap on the nut at 2,3000-3,000 beats per minute. That'll get the oil in there, oh...

Hey Don! Does your parole officer know you hang out with guys like that?

I'm not sure what the "going price" is. I don't think I've ever seen a set at a show. I've got a set I might part with, but I'm 2,700 miles away. I'm not thinking that the price is the important part of the deal. I think availability and not having to ship an awkward and over sized set of...

I'm looking for some help with an inspection, also. Thanks Lance

.....anyone know if the medium towbar will hook up to a M1009? Use the adapters with the one inch holes. The frame extensions on the CUCV usually have pretty generous hole clearance so getting the pins in won't be a problem but the extensions have sometimes been spot painted so many times...

Diesel fuel is usually OK for that amount of time. Depending on the fuel level you generally have two choices. One school of thought is to top up the tank with fresh fuel to dilute the old fuel. Another is to run it with the old fuel (and maybe some cetane booster) and get the old fuel out of...

I'm 6'4" and 235. I've got a spring base with a CUCV bucket seat in one of my trucks. I had been concerned about loosing legroom and winding up too close to the steering wheel. As it turns out, the bucket sits an inch or so higher than the stock seat and actually increased the legroom. It's...

I wouldn't be surprised if various states have a patchwork of "what's an RV" rules but this might help. A while back I was thinking of buying a medium duty truck (Freightliner M-Class or similar) with a sleeper to tow our 15,000 pound 36' fifth wheel camper. The FL dealer, who has converted a...

I know a guy who makes his living buying motor homes in the US and Canada and shipping them to Europe. When we talked he thought his broker could be very competitive with MV shipping costs. If you want me to dig up his card, give me a PM. I think it's in my desk. Lance

With 8 tires trying to go straight and only 2 trying to turn, these can be squirrelly already. I think shortening the wheelbase is only going to aggravate that. I have visions of very sloppy, skidding turns when in snow or mud. The biggest advantage of the standard double rear axle and bogey...

He and I have traded a few PMs about the rally. We didn't write about changing dates although we all discussed it around the fire at the campsite (I was awake for that part) Parking along the edge of the campground would seem to be limited to the width of the campsite. If you went further...

I've only been there one year so I'm not sure. If my memory is correct, the only time we saw "civilians" was Saturday. Lance

I use J C Taylor. I mailed my next year's premium for a 1966 M35A2C yesterday. $85 for 300K liability, 100K personal injury, 6K comprehensive and collision and all the NY required BS. They will insure it if it's 19 years or older, not in commercial use yadda, yadda yadda.... Good find and...
