The pic is kinda blurry but it looks like a coil from a spring. Any signs of water in the oil? Look under the filler cap.

Tools, A duckbill hammer, a couple of tire irons and a bottle of water/dish soap. It would be best to watch someone do it first, it is easier to see what is happening than tell you. They are easy, but they can hurt you, therefore the hands on tutorial is needed. This is how I cage them...

Could be the idle is set too low. I think there is a dashpot on the throttle that holds the throttle a bit off idle during decel. Someone else with more CUCV knowledge will chime in. Could also be dirty dieselgas filters. Service it and see what happens.

Ring mount leg holder.

Kenny, that couldn't have been due to old diesel. Musta had some sort of leak.

There are alge killers available too. RUN IT MAN!! It will be dark but it will smell sooo nice!

Yeah, it's small enough.

I have some delineation plates. If you are interested, PM me. They are 16 x 16 and brand new.

Yeah, don't even mess with trying to reuse the spindle or the hub. It will not be worth the damage you could do to yourself, others around you or the hobby in general. Just replace the thing. While you are there, rebuild/replace the wheel cylinder, just to be on the safe side...it got REAL hot...

Looks good! Man, those 5 tons make the deuce look like a toy!

:ditto:I can see a one off thing. But you will burn that in fuel going to get it. Chances are, if you own the truck, you will need it again. Not baggin' on ya, just curious.

Check the classifieds, I think there are a few there.

Use antiseize when you put it together.

Good thing about a tube type tires is SOMETIMES you have warning. The tread blows off prior to the tire exploding. Good thought on the thumbs!

:ditto:, with the exception of MY local place having them, get a few. OD Iron, Saturn, Memphis, White Owl, e-bay will have them. Try to steer away from the New Star ones....you will replace them in a hurry. Get NOS or silicone.

Just an older tire. As stated above, you are on the correct line. Move it to the outside rear. I try to put only new tires on the steer axle.

I think these trucks look good in MERDC, however, i'd leave it the way you got it. I'm kinda funny that way, I just like to try to preserve the history of the truck. If it came from Uncle Sugar in CARC tan, just re do it in the same. If it is a crappy paintjob, just give it a little TLC and...

I agree! nopics

Well, I think this was covered in a prior post. This is a weekend event. TP is a few hundred miles away. No fires, no off roading. Some of us only have the weekend to get away. Dirtbag is close, we can have fires, use our rakes and shovels, get stuck and such. It wasn't scheduled in conflict...

Do the MERDC, There are 7 different versions of it...well 8 if you count winter arctic...all white. http://www.olive-drab.com/archive/od_tb43_0147_camo.pdf
