Several members of the PSMVCC and EMVC got together to bring together a VERY early M35 (gasser) and a quad 50 trailer together to make a gun truck period correct for the Vietnam conflict. It isn't finished but they are on their way. The guy who owns the truck also has a half track with a quad...

Holy CRAP, those guys don't muck around! It's like an instant shop, it took me 5 x longer to get my permits than for you to get the whole thing done. :beer:

Nope, they are selling the name, not AM General.

I'm with Chuck. When you use dino oil it is a oil with an AVERAGE molecule size, some larger and some smaller. Synthetics have just one size and hence they are less likely to break down as quickly. Only the additive package can be made to harm seals or not, the oil itself acts the same and if...

Gosh, that is wonderful. I hope in the future there are plans to put all that old iron under cover.

Tanner, you seem to be completely correct. Build what you want but that doesn't mean you'll EVER be able to legally register it. Some people get away with it, but many don't and end up getting burned. Is it worth the risk for a "cheap HMMWV"? Only you can answer that because it is your money...

I had this happen with some fairly new 6TL's. Someone here recommended putting a load on the one that was reversed and completely drain the battery. 12V lightbulb, small motor, anything that you can use to get the battery to 0V and then try to charge normally with a 12v battery charger. Get...

Thanks Jon, I was aware that low oil pressure is normal, back in the stone age, I drove a truck with an 8V92. If I believe the gage on the dash, which can be wildly inaccurate, it runs 5 -7 psi hot at idle and 40 psi running down the road also hot. Due to this engine's lack of oil consumption...

Looks like one of my Snap-On wrenches. The only one I have from HF is the 100-600 ft.lb. one for my lug nuts. I couldn't spend $1000+ for lug nuts, it still came calibrated within 4% and was $80.00.

12 volt starters will work in a 24V system BUT, you must NOT attempt cranking if it isn't turning fast, do not continue to crank. A normally easy to start engine will work for years with a 12v unit, in a hard to start vehicle, it won't last too long. Info I got from a professional rebuilder of...

I'd love to try one on the HEMTT but Detroit 2 strokes have notoriously low oil pressure to begin with, I doubt it would work as advertised, especially under 1200 rpm.

If a wife treated me the way my M211 did I'd . . . well, I'd be in jail soon afterward.aua

Thanks Bruce, now that the bed sides are done I'm altering some stock bows to make it so I can lower the center right bed side without pulling any bows and leaving the new canvas attached. That way I can load passengers or use as a cargo truck as intended. I'm also making it so the bows can be...

Besides, if more come out, Bruce and I are gonna buy all of 'em. :D

You don't bleed them, once they are full of water you simply replace them. :cookoo:

They are the most beautiful by far of all the Deuces. I don't miss mine one bit however.

What you're really asking is. "when can we buy 'em dirt cheap." At least initially, they won't go cheap, they would be too desirable to various industries. They are being used as remote firefighting, and would be good for logging operations and other industries where a capable 8 wheel drive is...

I believe a friend of mine owns a nice one, but then again, he owns a museum. He also owns my old M42A1 Duster . . .

That was a combind load of nearly 37,000 lb and the '08 Ford F450 towed it great and with hyd. disc brakes it stopped effortlessly too.

I sold a Ford M656 several months back . . . the new owner is keeping us all posted during his tribulations lubricating the tie rod ends.
