Maybe I am thinking of Field Drab instead of OD green, I do know the other color had more brown in it than the forest green. I cant remember where I read it from so I can't say for sure...
If you look around the interior of the truck and get lucky, you might find the build sheet. some...
All the ones I have seen came from dodge Forest Green. I have read ( but can not confirm ) that they also came in OD green. I know all of the build sheets I have seen ( including the one for my truck ) say Forest Green. But at any rate, All came from Dodge a single color and it was up to the...
I agree with Bob and 319 100%... and in the same mindset also suggest checking the fuel pump pressure.
also, don't forget that there is a pickup screen in the tank, It could also be part of a fuel delivery problem. you can diagnose this by strapping a small gas can to the right fender well...
If the electrical connector is in the center of the dash, round and about 2 in. in diamiter it is probably for the blackout lights, the truck system and blackout system is suppose to be intergrated to work correctly, But as stated above it may be bypassed, If this is the case and the truck...
Those dimmer switches get a lot of moisture down there and commonly go bad, some times you can get away with pulling them out and hosing them down with contact cleaner or WD-40. this problem should not be the result of any ( authorised ) modification the military did.
The grease zerk sits...
the power for the horn,running lights , brake lights, turn signals ( and I believe the back up light also ) run threw the turn signal switch in the steering collum. This switch in noted for going bad and people do weird things to get lights to the back of the truck. if this switch is bad it...
That is the best shipping order I have seen for these trucks, Keep it in good shape...
You can still get the floats on e-bay, ( aftermarket ) and I was told that they are the same brass floats that ford used during the same time period.
I just got one for free from my local dodge dealer...
CAMOUFLAGE FOR MILITARY VEHICLES
This is just one page of the site, once you start reading you can easily spend a few hours there, Its that interesting...
" PS: AS a side note, are there not camo markings on the reverse side of the ambulance panels? Could this possibly be more acceptable for every day use and then flip them for "Sunday Driving"? Food for thought. "
Yes, Some of the newer designed trucks do have reversible panels that allow you...
The only time I have ever heard of anybody having any trouble is when they put " for official use only " on the vehicle, and then it was with military people, not the local / state cops.
I would think that with all of the trucks that are out there with military markings that if there was a...
Here is another thought,
A trip to the American Red Cross might yield some useful information, If it is an actual treaty violation then they should have some regulations on marking their vehicles.
If memory serves me right I have seen some passenger cars of theirs marked with the cross. (...
That M886 looks nice.
I suspect ( but am not 100 % sure ) That the " treaty " being talked about are from the " rules of war " and therefore don't apply in a non-combat theater.
Anyway, treaty's are with countries, and since we are not at war with any country there is No " treaty "...
The problem I run into with asking a cop whats legal on some of these traffic laws is if you ask 3 officers the same question, you will get 4 different answers.
The standard reply from Cops around here is :
" well let me put it to you this way, I would not ticket you for that, at least not...
The P/S box on my truck came from a 1979 RamCharger, ( I Pulled it off myself at a local junk yard)
if I remember right, Dodge used these Saginaw boxes
( reverse rotation ) up to 1990. I really don't know if the same box was used for other companies, Maybe the old Jeep J-10s
Here is a...
I am wondering why the pit man arm from the manual box does not fit the power streering box ?
These P/S boxes were used for many years and should be pleantifull in the junk yards...
