+1 on the Saturn Surplus, wiper arms. They are spring loaded, and make wiping 100x's easier in the rain. PLus, You can use 12" Anco replacement blades.

I looked at one from a guy in NJ. He wanted $3500 for trucks w/out winches.

I think it is wise to use the spare tire bracket made for the tow vehicle when mounting the spare to the trailer. The spare mount is made for the tire / wheel size used, so it will carry the load and have the correct securing mount for the bolt pattern. When I was toying with the idea myself...

The wheel is a real PIA. If I were to do it a gain, I'd buy the USGI Steering Wheel Puller from Saturn Surplus. It is made for the Duece Wheel, and will make life 100x's better. For $75, I think you will not mind spending the money for peace of mind. However, if you do not buy it, then this is...

Update... 13 AUG 2009 I received my pallet today. At first glance, I was a bit angry because the crate which Stephan Wood Products had built to ship the components was all broken and mostly gone by the time it got to me. Thanks Yellow Road Carriers! However... The factory did a superp job of...

The air horns that are being sold now are New Star aftermarket parts. They are actually made overseas, by S&S Truck Parts, which is the manufacturer of New Star parts, and just happens to be the only source for new reproduction Duece parts. Whew! At least we can still get replacement items...

No.2, looks good. Thanks for the pics BTW. That's my duece with the camo net and trailer. The 5 ton looks even better in person.

Those are nice Michelins! Definately singled by the military, and definately 1100R20 tube-type radial. I have one that was put on my truck as a spare and the rest are 1100R20 tube-type Firestone T831. I great truck to drive and less weight to register by about 500 lbs.

NY Historical. Cheap plates and Insurance. Of course it is limited use.

Thanks for sharing.

Also, I have found that another manufacturer was involved in military truck horns. Delco-Remy ...They have a slightly different base, but still OD, with unpainted plain metal horns or bells as they are properly called. The base is properly called a manifold. Has anyone seen these on their...

I got some price qotes on shipping... WOW! Yellow Freight from the manufacturer is $170. Not bad considering the shipping of the excellent used ones from Clark, via Roadway, is almost $3 bills. We also can forget FedEx, at over $8 bills. SO it looks like New from the manufacturer. I'll build...

Hmm. well I buy Wix filters for my Primary, 2ndry, and final fuel filters, as well as the two oil filters. That's because I bought hte Spin-on adapter kits from JaTonka, aka John Tennis, here on the board.

I bought mine from a guy that was about 90 miles away, on eBay. For me the hassel of loading out of a base, and trying to organize the paperwork to register was soemthing I wasn't interested in doing. Instead I bought from someone that had bid on 50 trucks and won something like 22 or 23. Then I...

That is true. My neighbors know what I do, and all think that it is there for a reason, so it is all good.

Thanks for the heads up, however I'm interested in New, Old stock. The horns that I've found on my truck & others are made by Sparton Manufacturing. They are out of business now, but I'm sure there is a cache of NOS that someone is sitting on that was aquired through a GL or DRMO auction. The...

Stephan Wood Products... 989-348-5496 $640 + shipping for right and left Siderack/troop seats. Unassembled w/ all hardware, shipped by Yellow Freight, 300 lbs. Clark Truck Parts... (304) 755-8811 $385 + shipping, assembled excellent takeoffs shipped via FedEx. So the difference lies in the...

I have seen some people set up military cots in the bed, and a makeshift night table in the middle. Usually out of an empty ammo crate. Then their bags hang from the bows and it is quite homelike.

Still waiting on the call back. I left a message today, but in the meantime I have been working another angle, and It may be cheaper to go this route. I spoke with Clark Trucks today which have many take off troop seats and headracks. In addition to rebuilding them, they paint them and make...

I have them all! So far so good. The engine runs smooth, and right now, I have my 1st 1000 miles on them. In Novemeber they will changed out for a new set.
