Ditto, I forgot Taco said you were crutching around or something. Hold over from the 'Busa incident?

Tokyo Marui is the company that makes the Nam version of the M16. It even has 20 round style magazines and the early foregrip. I have the SR-16 made by TM that is based off a Stoner rifle by Knights Armament. It has all the logos and trademarks on it like the real thing, even though that...

The coolant leak is no big deal. Most of the time it is just the little curved bypass hose that needs replacement. Sometimes it is the thermostat housing or the heater hose leaking down and pooling on top of the timing chain cover.

CBs, I would say no since CB stands for Citizen's Band radio. It is possible that the military may have at some point used the same band in earlier days before it was reserved for CB use, but I doubt the military ever used a band that anyone with a radio (and in the 70s a FCC CB license) could...

That's sort of what I was thinking. Some of it seems plausible, but some is a little over the top, so to speak. I can understand the rollover issues, the bearing issues to an extent, and the steering wear, but another thing to consider is the quality of tire manufacturing back in 1969. tire...

Heh, heh, "only" 7250? That's light for a Deuce, but heavy for a wheeling vehicle, lol.

1 1/4 ton trailer bed. Pretty standard fare for the 4x4 conversions. Damn that thing is big though, lol.

Lee has done the CB conversion on the military antenna and seemed to work pretty good for him. I plan to do the same for the antennas on my 715.

More likely GL bit against you themselves to drive up your price and it backfired when they won their own auction. This has happened many, many times and is technically illegal.

The grilles changed a lot in the 70s between the Dodge and Plymouth models. I think the change from the lamps in the lower valance into the grille was for the 77 model year. One thing I might note for you guys with M880 series trucks and/or similar Dodge or Plymouth trucks is that Mopar no...

Probably the best thing to do would be contact the Canadian military to see if they have some sort of historical archive or something like our military branches do.

On the supply of old tailgates I was thinking more of what the US Military would have had in stock and not Mopar. It is my understanding that when one of these contracts go through there is an initial parts supply sent to the Government for their use that the Government itself would stock under...

He'd better hope to hell he doesn't get on any off-camber turns or try to turn into a parking lot on a hill. That is way to close for comfort and I'm sure it violates some sort of law.

On the tailgate situation, it is my understanding that they were changed on civilian models to save costs and the military ones followed suit. Early ones would have had them, while later ones would not. It may have been a mid-year or "running change" which would explain the confusion on the...

One does not easily back up a dolly with anything, lol. I remember at my Truck Driving School they told us if we could back a tractor and two pups with the dolly the length of the rig we would get our tuition refunded. No one could do it and we spent a lot of time trying. I even put the heavy...

Uh oh, not that one again, lol...

Probably the most important measurement would have been from the pin to a front corner since that is what is going to hit if it's close enough. I'd test that setup quite a bit before trying to roll down the highway any. Sounds like something to get the DOT riled up for some reason...

Looks US and probably Vietnam Era judging by the looks. I'll take a look at my Jane's when I get home and see what I can find.

Desert Deuce, let us know when you get set up and have a good handle on your inventory. I am always interested in a good source for BDUs in good condition. Especially Medium sized 3 color desert in the summer weight fabric. Any 3 color desert ECWS parkas? :D

I know what you mean. Eventually I will have one. Been seriously thinking about putting the M715 back together and sell it for a Deuce, but I still can't convince myself that I need something that big, lol. Once I get one though, I doubt I let it go, especially for a price like yours. That's...
