Got the correct mirror mounts yesterday, Thanks Jim! Took the West coast off, came off easy, and after hours of looking, found the correct sized bolts to install the old school mount. Unless I'm missing something, there's only one mirror mount on the old style (drivers side)? Anyway, once i...

My M1009 didn't have the pintle when i bought it. It did have the bolts for a standard under carriage receiver hitch (they're still there cause I'm may put a hitch on for S&G). Anyway, I know that you'll need to devise a way of putting a commercial hitch in place of the military one. They...

I've printed all the pictures you've posted as well as some others I've found. I'll be putting them in the scrap book I found. FYI, the scrap book is made of some kind of wood from the orient. on it's cover is a picture of Japan and Korea. No. it's not a Vietnam specific scrap book; it is...

After researching the seat issue, I couldn't find any proof that there were two drivers type seats ever used during the war. Since this appears to be the case, out goes the single seat and in goes the gunners seat. Difficult job to put it simple. In order to get them out, I had to lighten the...

Problem Solved...maybe I went at it from a different angle. Since I couldn't find anything on the truck (M-35) I went with possible attaching equipment that could be installed on the trck...nope, didn't make sense. I looked at the m-211 and the pin mentioned is too small and I found these in...

My first thought was a hair pin for Brunehildafat lady sings. Then I thought maybe linkage as you did, but none of the linkages on the trucks that I have have anything that needs a steel pin this big. Thought it might be for one of the shackle pins but they are way smaller. The front shackle...

I have two of these. One was in the back of one of the trucks and it was broken at the bend. The other (pictured) normally hangs on the drivers window right side support thumb screw. It is not part of the window assembly. The broken one was in the bed of a non winch truck. The one pictured...

Odd, WD-40 never messed up my engine and I use the daylights out of it. Couldit have caused damage? I can't answer that, diesel engines are not my area of expertise. I'm more of a turbin engine kind of guy. Try this: pull all the plugs again. Insert a small magnet (the kind that looks like...

Finally something positive to add. A local collector generously donated some things to get the truck cab more in touch with the time period. That brings me to a question: did the trucks then have two single seats or did they have a single seat and the flat, pain in the backside 1/2 bench...

Any parts you want to get rid of, send em my way!:mrgreen:

Good question. Difficult answer... For years, (12 to be exact) since I've been in Laramie County, the local community has annually been the fortunate recipient of World War II re-enactments and displays. They have been outstanding productions and if anyone is in Cheyenne for Frontier Days, keep...

Post #5 or 6, can't remember? Truck is on hold:-(. Same sit as with the Vietnam truck I'm doing, wants vs have to haves. Any commitments i've made will be kept but won't be making any new ones until sit changes. I can do a lot that don't cost things, those are free. but that fancyy paint job...

Post #6 Hi, everything is on hold.:cry: Money sit is too tight for wants vs. have to haves. I'll keep tinkering and fixing little things but the truck won't be anywhere near ready this year. If money sit changes, I'll start up again. For what its worth, the truck will be wearing the markings...

Awsome! [thumbzup][thumbzup]can you make one for a deuce? I don't know how to weld. Got a welder but no idea how to use it. That's why i have and keep getting every piece of hardware I can find at yard sales. Welding aint in my repetoire of skills but blaging something up with nuts, bolts...

Both excellent ideas! I wouldn't let my sonnear a hammer, he's like me. He needs a few years before mastering the hammer technique. I use my tractor for a variety of tasks as well.[thumbzup]

I don't know of a confirmed source, however, i may know someone who does. I'll ask him and if he's Ok with it, I'll send you the info (or he will).

I apologize, I mispoke. I didn't need it, I had yours. The problem as you told me might happen was that the cap may be different. It was. Your cap was much smaller than what went on to my master cylinder. So I was going to have to disassemble your cap assembly and put it on my cylinder cap, of...

Post #5 Brakes are done for now. I can get her out of the barn to start doing some sanding. Sometime between here and there have to get me a set of inner front hub zippered seals. After that, as near as I can tell most of the mechanics are done. now it's time for the cosmetics. As far as a...

uuuuhhh, yupauaauaaua. Been doing things on my own so long i forget the smart things and remember the dumb thngs. I think I already posted it but just in case, brakes are bled and I'm ready to bring the bleeder home. Same time frame as before?
