Interesting. Saves me a post. Mine is chewing up the passenger front as well. The shock appears to be this one: Shock - Gas Series 60 - Rear Monroe Gas 60 series, NAPA part 66903

Despite the low friction coefficient between metal wheels and railroad tracks etc. etc. this was an impressive feat! Is there a gradient as well? One would think that it gently slopes down into the barge.

Thanks for the confirmations! I will use the flex lines. As for the steel lines, I paid close attention when I bled the brakes for any rust flakes, gunk or the like and the brake fluid came out nice and clean. The truck is a southern truck that most certainly has never seen road salt. The...

I also highly recommend the TMs. The illustrations and step-by-step procedures are second to none and a great help. Findng the right manual can be a little intimidasting at first because of their number coding, but it is well worth the effort. I like the electronic version, because references in...

Since going fast is nice, but stopping is far more important, I decided to replace, amongst other things, all flex lines on the new-to-me truck. I obtained "new" brake hoses as a complete set from a seller that is mentioned around here once in a while and sells on ePay. When the parcel...

If your truck is w/w, be careful when you lean the rad forward towards the winch. The lock latch for the clutch lever can damage the fins. Put a piece of cardboard or plywood between the rad and the winch.

Quote: "If that was a military truck, how big do you think the data tag showing the shift pattern would be? I'm guessing 1/2 sheet of plywood.:grin: " rofl:funny: Also, there would be a two-part, one week mandatory operator course. Until completion of course 65-1990-23456 an operator would...

Having just done exactly that (fly and then recover an unknown-to-me Deuce long distance) I would mention that you can fax ahead a parts list to the nearest NAPA store to give them a bit of time to order stuff you need/want and that they do not have in stock. I found that getting "normal" 28V...

I like the look of the 11.00-20 singles. I just was not sure about the smaller 9.00-20. The info puts my at ease. I was a little surprised regarding the load rating. Ok, so I will flip my hubs! :smile:

Planning on singling out my truck with 11.00-20 XLs sometime next year. Seeing I am replacing axle seals, I thought of flipping the hubs right away in order to avoid having to pull the hubs again when I get the new tires. I do not need full cargo capacity at the moment and would just run...

Thanks for the help! Makes more sense now.

Thanks you all for making me feel less like a complete moron! Here I was thinking, order from a US vendor, you get made in the US quality....silly me! :grin:

I am in the National Capital Region, too. You will be able to get many, many parts off the shelf at NAPA or other good autoparts stores. There is a cross reference list on this site (go to Resources - Technical manuals and then again to Resources - Parts cross reference list) so that the NAPA...

So I ordered a horn button kit from ODIron. Little plastic bag, a couple of springs, rubber doo-dahs and brass cups. Can't be difficult. Assemble and install. Half an hour later I am feeling like a moron. TM is no help as it shows a different style horn button assembly. I finally got it working...

Thanks. Yes, I found the info on google. "T" for "tactical" or "training"? S BN? I am still trying to figure out what the markings mean that are on my bumper.

Nice try! She's all mine! Al, I have to demolish the kitchen over the weekend and prep for floor heat and tiling. You can, however, stop by and do the axle seals on my truck in the meantime! I need to keep an eye on my priorities....happy wife, happy life :-) As soon as the work on my...

nobody??

If you have the cash, buy an A3. Please do not bob it. Granted, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As far as I am concerned, a bobbed M35 is a destroyed truck. If it does not have one, you could always put a dropside bed on it to increase the useabilty factor.

I think that this is cool (no pun intended) and your Deuce would provide valuable help. Many people are driving that could not withstand a sustained period of walking in inclement weather or have much resistance to cold (and misery). Thumbs up for providing help to them. I urge you to sit down...

After some light sanding I discovered the following on the passenger side of the front bumper: FRC 49 STR (or STB). The corresponding vehicle markings on the left are gone. According to CARNAC, my truck saw service in the W1E0 B CO S BN 1ST SPWAR T GRP Location:FT BRAGG SPWAR is special...
