As an update: The whole idea is to get a light to medium duty rig for the youngster to move stuff without too much fuss. By the way, he and his buddies have had a fire going in a 1908 Waterloo 16 HP steam traction engine most of the day to pressure check it for leaks prior to making a tour of...

Sharp truck and that's a good looking youngster. Good luck and have fun with both and welcome to the site! Lance

RE: Cannon 16-10 I'm looking for couple of them. If you find them, please post the info. Thanks Lance

They're connectors that snap on the hem of a cammo net and are used to join two or more nets together. Two of them (one on each net) interlock and a pin. the head of which is woven into a piece of line, is inserted into the blocks. If the pins are put in in alternating directions they will...

Geez...the best I ever got was a bottle jack and fire extinguisher!

If a large transmission cooler were added to an M1008 and speeds were kept to 50-55 MPH, does anyone have a guess what would be a reasonable max towed load with a fifth wheel hitch? I have a combo fifth wheel and gooseneck hitch in my F-350 that drops onto low profile mounting plates that are...

Will That truck is still at Fort Drum but it has the seat box and springs. I'm 6'4" and one son is 6'6" so in the interest of longer leg room, I'd like to try keeping the older style seat for a while and see if my old back tolerates it as well as my young back did 30 plus years ago. When you...

Does anyone know if the cushions for the older style box seat base and the newer sprung seat use the same cushions? I'm looking for a lower cushion for a box seat and both cushions for a sprung seat. Does anyone have any good clean cushions looking for a home? Lance

Oops, forgot to add this. when I originally started this thread someone offered to stash one or both trucks if they absolutely couldn't be driven or towed. In a fit of careless housecleaning, I deleted the PM. If you're the member who offered the help and you're still willing, please PM me...

It looks like we're leaving tomorrow and returning Tuesday. Still waiting for an appointment confirmation from GL. The time for the trip came free Friday after they closed for the weekend so I'm hoping it won't be a problem. I've got two business weeks left to move them but one of the pick up...

Playing with all the toys can be fun but it often means you have to go out into "Indian country" to play. If we didn't have to work in too much mud or go across rough country, the HEMMET could haul an M1A1. Ya couldn't go more than a few miles an hour and on hills you needed a hold back...

Onan is pretty proud of their parts when it comes to pricing them but they usually do a good job of keeping them in stock. I'd suggest getting the model and specification info off the engine (if available) and calling or emailing them. If that info is not available (and my brain cell recalls...

Bill, thanks for the reply. I'll probably need to read it about three times for all of it to sink in. Any idea where to find a similar crane? Has anyone mounted a crane on a 5 ton and used Deuce bed behind it? Lance

I'm looking for enough info on finding and mounting a knuckleboom to be able to make an informed decision. Input from anyone having experience and links to any existing threads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lance

RE: I would be very interested in one if they fit an M1008! The M880 canvas and the CUCV canvas attach to the truck differently. That said, the M880 canvas can be made to work on the CUCV. If you have the national stock number (NSN), post it and I'll check on which you've got. If they're...

That's a durn good looking truck Bill. Always good to see the youngsters around old iron. What's the chances you could point me to a thread or start a thread on finding and mounting that crane? Did you shorten the bed or make frame extensions or what? Lance

RE: Re: RE: Hmmm,something fishy here I don't know what is going on but all the goofiness leaves me no choice but to assume this is another case of GL's giving us great customer service. I won 4 items yesterday and none of the prices listed on the GL website are correct. All are lower than...

Thank you for the offer. I'll take at least6 when your ready. BTW, if you go to usps.com and follow the links, they'll send you flat rate boxes, mailing tubes and tape for free. Lance

Thank You, Sir!!

Sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll be heading from central New York to Lakehurst, NJ to pick up an M1009 and an M1008. If anyone needs something hauled either way or wants to team up to pick up their vehicles, please post a reply or launch a PM. The current plan is for 3 of us to take...
