The kitchen was powered with the M2 burners, it had 2 M59 ranges, hot plate . They also used 2 M2 burners outside to make coffee or boil water. The deuce towed a trailer that contained the food and the cooks usually had a bunk or 2 in the trailer. Here are a few pictures of our build.
The Canadian military had M135 Kitchen trucks, they were locally made in Germany and were so popular that they autorized the fabrication of the kitchen truck. I have one sitting in my yard, it was sold this week and is waiting delivery. The official designation is the M133. I will try to...

Well in my spring cleaning, I dismantled a MKT 90 and sent it to the metal recycler.. The roof, sides, walk ways and platform weight in at 1300 lbs with all non alumium removed. This did not include the poles for the canopies and stairs or cabinets. I also removed all the litlle handles etc...
We have done the change, removed the front axle and advanced the rear by about 12 inches. We had to lengthen the drive shaft. We found and used a driveshaft from a M36 that has the extra length. The frame remained the full length and we put the original platform back on. The weight difference...
We painted the truck, I really like this color it is a nice dark green. We had 10 gals and now we have 2 -3 left. We will be reordering some. The name of the paint is US Marine Forest Green. Here are a few pictures. (I hope!!)
I will say no to running the rims on stocks wheels. The rims mounted backwards will have the tires on the outside of the box. Try mounting a regular tire backward on the hub and you'll see the effect. Also in many places you it is illegal to have the tires protruding from the box as they...
I spoke to the owner of the M1010 and he told me that the damage was standard for a Chev/GMC, rust in the corners both doors were dinged, he estimates that it will cost about $1000 to buy all new replacement doors, inner fenders etc. He said he put new batteries in it, she fired right up. He...
Congrats. I will watch the movie and for your MV. I have to ask, the truck was pretty enough to get a role but the owner wasn't and didn't??????:p:p:p:oops::oops:
You have what is called low level radiation and as stated they used this on everything that needed to glow in the dark. Last week I read that a guy was crossing the border on his motorcycle when he set off the radiation alarm at BCP. They sent him to a special area and after questioning they...
Same here, type in SS and get sent to the site, have to close goggle down and retry, usually works. Only happens when I go to the SS site. (Big Brother, the conspiracy thread has started):cookoo::cookoo::jumpin:
No problem, I have an extra basket w rack and I can get you a hard top. The roof basket and hard top fit on the m35 with no problems or modifcations. PM me Gilles
The problem with the combat split rims is the rim has a seal on the rim and if the tire was flat on the truck ther seal is probably damaged and should be changed. Usually heavy truck tire centres have the seals , replace the seal and the tire will remain inflated.
The tires and rims are...
Where we live all large trucks over 6600lbs must be inspected annually to get plates. This is a commercial vehicle inspection and normally takes 1 to 1.5 hrs, fixed price $179.00 and if you have to come back because they found something $29.00. All my MVs go through the inspection. We have...
Jim If you need tires I have a wack of them, they were removed from my M35 and M109 mounted on the rim $200. I have 10 -12 if not more they are in the snow Gilles
