Two is good, three is great! I was in western NC during Helene (at a conference - long story), but at home have one MEP-003a and 100 gallons of diesel, a 5kw commercial gasoline/propane generator, a little 2200 watt luggable generator that runs on non-ethanol gas, and two 20 pound propane...
It has the MG ring for the assistant driver (only 1 in 3 had this feature). I will have to look for the David Doyle book on the DUKW, it is somewhere in the 'library'.
And , the following nine manuals/pamphlets go with this DUKW
TM 9-802 2 1/2 TON, 6 x 6 AMPHIBIAN TRUCK (GMC DUKW-353)

I've got one currently in Columbia, SC. Have several sets of wheels and a new set of tires as well as some of the drive shaft tunnels and other misc parts. It needs work to be presentable, but is was driven to where it is parked now (the third place it has been parked since I got it).
Yes, Tim and his family are OK, but the store got about three feet of water in it and they are trying to dry everything out. He is on FB and has posted pictures there.
Hugo in 89 was a big storm, dumping 11 inches of rain on Toronto, Canada and finally disapating at the Arctic circle! I was in Saluda, NC for a conference from Thursday through Sunday afternoon. My house suffered no apparent damages, but the power went out around 3 Friday morning and was...
M-36's complete are worth at least one and a half more than an M-35 in similar condition. So, you could get three M-35's for what you have. They are less than 25,000 gross weight, so no CDL required (nationally - Kalifornia is probably worse). They are your trucks, but if you bob them you...
The restriction code is usually printed on the front cover of the TM. Code "A" means anyone can look at/purchase/copy/read/ etc. Any other distribution code is restricted to authorized people only
Now to remember the guy in Texas, or search for one of his posts. But he is probably working in the motorpool in the sky by now. That fellow was in the Texas State Guard.
Long ago there was a guy in Texas that had a full comm setup in a shop van. Can't think of his name at the moment. He may have been the one that originally posted "Sarges Katrina Story". Then there is our buddy in Tenn. that has the Unimog Radio setup - he used to come to the GA Rally, and...
A LOAD IS A LOAD! But, your wire had better be able to handle 50-75 amps on each of those legs. Probably easier to have four 12 ga wires on each leg, each with one outlet, lest the 'magic smoke' make everything for naught.
I had Stephan Wood Products make longer fiberglass staves so I could put an old cargo parachute up and over an S-280 shelter on the back of my M-36. Told them the length I wanted and the quantity. Package arrived in two weeks. YMMV and no I don't remember the cost - it was 10 years ago.
In the FSC codes the first of five digits is the finish 1=gloss, 2=semi-gloss (satin), 3= flat. Second digit is the basic color (4 being green), and the last three are the particular shade of that color.
There is an old thread which goes into detail on that, and it has a link to the table of...
I've been on that bridge. Notably when Neil Hendricks drove his deuce through the river at full tilt and I got his picture (that later got published in the MVPA magazine).
A telephone circuit (pair of wires). WD-1A will work. WD-1 originated in the US Civil War and was used by telegraph operators. The teletype machines allowed a typist to send messages without the training to send AND receive text.
In the middle of the picture posted there is a black 'rod' going from left to the middle, then a couple of nuts with a lock washer between them, then out the right side is a much smaller wire/cable. The U shaped bracket that it goes through is your tie down point. Get one of the nuts on one...
