Kind of remind me of beadlocks on regular wheels.

So what do you think I could use it for? Do you think it would work as an onboard welder? Other ideas?

Well I spent a little time tonight getting the generator set. I got everything but the power outlet. $10.00 for everything. Now to find a use for it all ... <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

Oh, I plan to. I'll be driving down there tomorrow night to pull the parts off of the truck. <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up">

Hello all, I was speaking to a guy on Saturday that suggested that he had seen the 24 volt generator from the M882 radio truck converted to be used as an onboard welder. Anybody here know if this is true? I have a chance to get all this generator set parts for $10.00 from this guy. Thanks...

Baking soda? (Used as a sand blasting grit.)

I heard recently about some people doing automotive restoration using baking soda in sand blasters. Story goes that it leave a nice finish and it washes right down the drain with no hassle from the EPA.

I had some 34094 green mixed up in a spray can in PPG brand urethane at the local auto paint store. Pretty good stuff if I could afford it. $181.00/gallon.

Very cool truck <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up">

No problem. I kind of figured that, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks anyway. <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up">

Seems better now.

If you can't find what you're looking for here on your M880, check out this site: http://www.ramchargercentral.com/ 95% of the info you need on these M880's can be found here. Of course they won't be able to help you with things like radio sets, black out lights, camo pattern etc. but all the...

Yeah, I noiticed that some of the pages load kind of slow lately.

P.S. It would be a good idea to degrease, derust, and repaint the whole setup before bolting it all back onto your truck This is a picture of mine about a year or two after I installed it: http://www.geocities.com/guyvanhorn/ahnuld31.jpg P.P.S. Don't forget to use top locks or nylock nuts and...

Well, for a straight bolt on, from `77 back to the early 70's (`73 or `74 I think) ought to work just fine. in `78 or `79 the set up was changed and the box was mounted differently with the pitman arm swinging through a horizontal plane instead of a vertical plane like in `77 and before.(You...

I would. Have you got any hard copies of manuals for the M880's trucks?

Hello Brent, Can you give me a good price on some paint? I'm thinking of either the 34094 or 34079 matte greens. do you carry any of this? Also, I'm looking for the triangular bracket that the steel bows mount to for the canvas top on the M880. P/N is 12255555 I believe.

You could probably fix the "puff of smoke" you get out the tail pipe if you replace the rubber valve seals. I used to get smoke out the tail pipe when I'd start the truck, but I've never seen it again since I replaced those seals. Not too hard a job either. The Tuff country lift is great...

I saw a pair of NOS M880 mirrors up for auction on Ebay a few weeks ago. I believe it was powerwagonparts selling them. He may have more. You can get to his web site from a link on my home page. Oh, BTW, thanks for the compliment on my truck. I'm currently working on getting more of the...

It would be easier to use everything from the same year (`77) or earlier powerwagon with powersteering. In `78 the steering setup was modified as I mentioned above and if you went with a `78 or newer setup, you may have to replace the steering shaft with the newer and in my opinion inferior...
