Awesome video, thanks for sharing. This is the plant where Henry Ford put a 90 degree bend in the assembly line so he wouldn't cross the county line (or city limits?) and have to pay property taxes in two municipalities.

Don't feel too bad, I broke my windshield off roading a couple of years ago. The road was blocked by a fallen tree and I THOUGHT I could fit between two trees next to the road. I didn't see that stubby little branch about five and a half feet up. The cracking sound told me that I had also...

That thing looks like a whale on tracks! It's great that some Soviet vehicles are drifting into the US.

Excellent help for the noob, Doghead!

Agreed. It would be a shame to cut up this somewhat rare truck, although they are more common in Canada.

Santa must currently be working at the South Pole!

I like the look of the soft top. It makes dropping the top on a nice day real easy.

To answer the original question, if you can only afford two locking differentials now, put them in the two rear axles. You can always save up for an air locker in the front at a later date.

I guess I picked the wrong weekend to quit sniffing glue!

This sounds like a lot of slippage to me. I've always heard that slip should be 5% or less, ideally 2 to 3% at cruising speed. Is your transmission fluid toasted?

Stay warm!

There you go! A great start already! :beer::D[thumbzup]:jumpin:

A machine shop would be able to drill a new hole pattern for you, but I doubt anyone would touch the job because of liability concerns. Drilling a second set of holes in a wheel would weaken the wheel and make it more likely to crack.

Maybe this minor (so far) brush with the law will get young Mr. Gaines to straighten up and fly right. fat lady sings I hope you get your truck and/or money back.

Yep, 9/16 ". On my current deuce, all of the plugs have a 1/2" square female drive hole (OK, that sounds bad, but you know what I mean).

There were well over 100 HMMWV's at the lot during my two visits. Thanks for the cool video, by the way.

73m19 is correct. I was at the auction lot twice in Riverside, CA circa 1999. You had to be a dealer to buy one. 13K for non-runners and 17k for runners.

I believe that a 5-lug Budd type wheel from a 1930's Ford AA will fit an M37. It is 20", but fairly narrow. I have seen some pretty cool setups using those wheels for the snow. You could probably find these wheels or something similar at a wrecking yard that has old trucks.

Matt Yucaipa on the map.

I usually rent a log splitter, but I think it might not handle some of these larger pieces. I think I'll buy a maul and a BFH for the really big stuff. Thanks.
