I'm here. I'll post more later when I have more time. BTW, how were you able to attach pics to your post? I tried that, and all I got was an error? Is there a size limit on photos?

Are you sure the first number is the section height? Whenever I've seen it reported that way on light truck tires, the first number represents the section width, and the second number, preceded by an "R" is the wheel diameter. Example: the stock M880 tires were 9.50R16.5 which meant that the...

I can't remember exactly what I pay, but it comes out to around $300.00 a year, or about $25 a month to insure my M880 with Liability only. My M880 is registered as a normal W200 Dodge truck.

Have you ever thought of repainting it the 34094 green used in the NATO three color pattern? Personally I think it looks real sharp and I like it better than OD green. Here's an idea: Combine the existing 34151 you have currently on the truck with the 34094 "forest" green to make a cool...

421 miles from Reno to Fruitland. That's a slight improvement on 2700 miles. <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">...

Idaho Motor Pool: Looks like they're located just over the border from Ontario Oregon, near Boise Idaho. Sounds like a lot better option for you Monster Man.

You are right about the weight issue. The 5.9 liter Cummins used in the Dodge trucks weighs in somewhere around 960(?) lbs whereas the equivalent displacement gasoline engine is down around 540 lbs. So yeah, the diesel is a bit heavier. This can easily be remedied by going with stiffer...

Sorry, I don't have any info for you on either of those two questions, however I do happen to know that you can swap a 5.9 liter cummins and an NV4500 manual five speed tranny (if you use a cummins from a `94-`98 Dodge) into that truck farely easy. You can use factory motor mount brackets and...

Cool looking truck. What color of green did you use? Is it the FS 34151 (light green) color? By the way, there's already an M1073 trailer(?) Here's a page refering to it: http://www.washingtonarmyguard.com/fo-pls.html

Here's an example of an M880 painted in the four color pattern in the "Summer US & Europe - verdant" configuration. http://www.users.fast.net/~tepes/77_M882_John_Bensch.JPG The only difference between the winter and summer configs is that the #2 color is light green in summer but is changed to...

Hi Kenneth, it looks like your M887 is painted in the "Winter US & Europe - verdant" configuration but it's missing the sand color. Generally, the four color pattern goes like this: color 1 = 45% color 2 = 45%, color 3 = 5%, color 4 = 5%. All of the seasonal patterns (except arctic, which is...

I just took another look at the pics of Kenneth Engle's M887 and it confirms my previous assertion. It looks like the pattern used there is also essentially the same as the M715 four color pattern.

Hello all, I've been stumped by this for some time, but I may have figured it out now. I've been looking for the 4 color pattern for the M880 but all I could find is the NATO 3 color pattern. Recently I discovered something interesting. The old pattern for the M1008 and the NATO 3 color...

Hey WRC, why don't you down load the TM 9-2320-266-34 M880 maintenance maual off the LOGSA web site? (It's free.) This is sure to have a step by step procedure for doing this job. Oh and I concur with what the other guys have said. The M880's are just civilian 3/4 ton Dodge trucks with a few...

Looks very nice Todd. Looks like you're well on your way to a nice Willey's jeep restoration!

So Bill,(Dieselsmoke) Are you selling paint? California is a lot closer to me than New England, so shipping charges aren't going to be so bad from there. What have you got in the way of these NATO 383 colors? (BTW, anyone know why they are called "383" colors?)

Yes I've done the Walmart Krylon camo paint. Great price, but I hat their green. I'm really looking for the 34094 NATO green. I may consider the Krylon paint for the black and brown colors. Anyone here know how well the Walmart Krylon camo brown matches the NATO brown?

Well I went and priced out the paint at the auto paint store. Here's what I got: the NATO 34094 green comes available in two paint type from PPG: an acrylic urethane, and an acrylic enamel. The urethane is a wopping $181.00/gal!! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_jawdrop.gif" alt="Jawdrop">] The...

BTW, Whose Mark? Is he a member on the board associated with RAPCO or some other surplus source like Saturn?

Wow! Kind of pricey. How many gallons come in a case? Is it two or four? How did the local paint compare to the shipped paint? If I have to go with the shipped paint, and I have to do a case, I'm wondering if they will send multiple colors of paint in the case, or if it's gotta be all one...
