I agree with Bronconut. 68 MPH seems to be a sweet spot for my stock M1009, though I usually cruise 62 to 65.

Recently, or in 1942? rofl

Daumier, That is a super clean Umimog! Welcome to the site. I think I may consider a Unimog one day. It is better suited to the fire roads in my area than the deuce.

A guy I know had an old M109 gasser with the flipper type lift gate installed by the first civilian owner.

From Wikipedia: WC41 Fitted with dual rear tires. Mostly employed as an emergency repair truck whose purpose was to provide mobile facilities for emergency ordnance repair. Other types of bodies were produced, such as an oil service vehicle. 902 of these chassis were built.

:funny: I had a friend that collected Plymouth Valiants. He loved the cars and their slant-six engines. One day, we were at a stoplight when some rich girls in a new Mercedes laughed at the faded red "Val". My friend leaned out the window and said, "Don't laugh girls, this car costs less than...

Bratpackdad, if you're still in San Diego, this will very much affects you.

The 6.2 will be screaming on the highway unless you run bigger tires, put in an overdrive tranny, change the axle ratios, or a combination of these. You may also have steering column clearance issues.

Barrman's description of the differences between engines is accurate. When I got my mulit-fuel, I dreamed of a multi-state desert exploration trip. This never happened, and the older I get, the less I like the noisy, smelly, hot and loud multifuel engine. With the little amount of driving I...

The drop side bed is useful if you plan to load the truck with a forklift. Otherwise, I would get the standard bed.

Ah, but if the dump mechanism works, you can dump out the swamp in a muddy pile.

Are you in F1 or F2?

Mark, that is a sweet M211 :drool:.

My favorite deuce of all time is the M211. Both of these truck deserve a good home. I see they both have hard tops, which helps to preserve the interior.

Well, that's what I was thinking, but now you went ahead and said it :D.

Pic # 4 shows she is good at shifting gears. Maybe I'm getting old, but I did notice the truck. Is it a re-powered gasser? I noticed the electric horn. You could always use a Confederate flag like Daisy Duke (apologies to my Southern friends).

Farmun, I've never seen a skateboard with a winch before. It looks like the winch may be a little oversized for that application!

You shouldn't need the lead additive with leaded gas. In the US, leaded gasoline hasn't been sold for a number of years. If you use too much lead additive, you will start to get deposits on your spark plugs.

I would use leaded fuel if you have a choice. In case the '52 GMC 302 doesn't have hardened valve seats (I don't know), the lead in the gas will act as a cushion to help prevent vavle seat wear.

My son-in law used to work for Barnett. They are a great company. I see they donated their steerable 12 axle rig, probably their most expensive setup. Dalton Trucking in Fontana moved a Soviet T-54 tank to the 2004 ATHS convention in Fontana free of charge.
