This is DD's listing, unloaded and loaded columns, page 501. Perhaps a revision is in order....

Triangles? Here you are, also make sure a Waffle House is near. :-) PS. I placed them further apart later, in case somone was wondeing.

Depends on the length/duration of the trip.

The tank I used (still use) for the dual tank project was rusty inside with the plating gone in many places, not to mention the pin holes repaired with fiberglass. The specs of rust has caused a bunch of filter and valve problems over the last year with thousands of miles logged. I now have...

According to David Doyle's "Standard Catalog of US MV's", if all else fails use 85% of the vehicle gross weight in tons. (page 501, top) So if your deuce is empty, about 5 tons, loaded about 10 tons, a "5" or a "10" on the bridge plate. The "C" is only displayed if you are towing a trailer, in...

Thanks, don't think I would have wanted one anyway unless it was for show.

Another question, is the antenna mount your idea or is there a military precedent?

Patrick, good to see that you made it back all right! Question regarding your front tires (Toyo M140 11.00r20), how many miles do you have on them and is there any noticable wear? Also, do you run with or without an innertube? Thanks,

Joel, my fuel tank was in pretty bad shape when I got it, many leaks especially where the support bands were. I cleaned the surface down to bare metal with a grinder/sander and applied fiberglass to seal it. Has been a year now and it appears to be good and tight. Used fiberglass to seal off...

No number Ken, the trailer seems pretty specialized, though.

You need to experiment. Don't know the answer, but the veggie oil can be 180°F and still be more viscous than regular diesel at room temp. Some installations use electrically heated tape wrap for that extra boost of heat.

RE: XM757 Yeah right. Wonder what happened to the trailers...

Yes, it's one of the "standard" turbos used with the multifuel engines.

RE: XM757 Adam, all the missiles were destroyed by the early 90's except for some that were destined for museums. The XM757 were later replaced by German MAN 8x8 10-ton trucks.

Yeah Andy, the problem with using the exhaust is control. It gets hot fast. When in Oklahoma, I extracted the exhaust diverter valve from the doomed M50A2 water tanker. It is seen to the left in the image below. The M50 uses an exhaust diverter to keep the water from freezing. Thought it might...

Have been looking for pictures of my xm757 in use and found this. From the seventies, I guess.

Jon, what about a knuckleboom? Here you are at Barstow. :-) Maybe you can get a price on it, somebody should save it from the crusher...

Check with Jones in Sacramento, CA, he had a stack of bed sides and some troop seats in his yard when I was visiting a couple of months ago. Gary Berg was looking for some also, so I don't know the current status.

It's yours Jeff, I have your address so just send me a PM regarding payment.

Got a turbo for sale. It's a used one, Switzer model 3LJ-319. Don't know the condition of it other than the turbine spins with light finger pressure and the oiler drains easily when oil is poured from top. A bit rough, but some TLC should be all that's needed. $120.00, shipping included for...
