When installing new front window channels in the door there is a single brass rivet at the top of each channel. How are owners clinching this rivet? I can find clinching tools but the cost is just not realistic when there are only two of these rivets per truck. I've tried the methods I've seen...

I'm slowly accumulating spare parts for my trailers and I've hit a wall on the wheel bearings for the M200A1 under my MEP-004A generator. The inner seal, spindle nuts and lock are the same as the M105A2 trailers. Unfortunately the wheel bearings are a different part number. The M200A1 TM lists...

After staring at my Deuce sitting in the shop for far too long I'm back at it and starting to go over her from end to end. Out of all of the usual things I expected to find I've only run across two actual issues. Slow release of the brakes (although they work perfectly) and what is shown in the...

Ran across an LDT 465-1D. Looking at the data plate it's the same contract number as my current engine. No info on the build date as I'm waiting for a clearer photo of the data plate. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have stored very well. What struck me as odd was the intake elbow and turbo...

Fired the truck up from its winter slumber this morning. Popped right of and everything seems good to go. Shut her down and walked back into the office. That's when I heard it. It sounded like a timed release of air in a hard line. I walked back out in the shop thinking something was going on...

I'm looking for a breakdown of the racks on my M105A2 and coming up empty. I've looked for a manual other than the 1990 to no avail. The 1990 manual only lists the full assemblies and I'm looking for the NSN for the corner stakes. Maybe I'm missing it somewhere? Any help would be greatly...

Back on the Deuce and I'm in need of tires. I was told that the Titan T-Hawk 373's are long since out of production. Is that correct and if so what are we going to for replacements? I'd like to stay with the Titan 373's if at all possible. Or are we stuck with Deestone D501's now? I've found two...

While going over the new to me M35A2C I ran across something odd. The truck is a WO/W that has had the correct winch installed. Everything appears to be original parts and the install looks like clean. While spooling the wire off to take it down for a new thimble I heard a very light dragging...

I was wondering if anyone has any insight into the long term storage of soft part like rubber seals? I have two items so far that I would like to store safely. A replacement seal for the air cylinder on my Air-O-Matic and a dual circuit master cylinder. I know that many of the military spares...

In my search for an air assist kit for my new to me M35A2C I was told that the Air-O-Matic kit for an A3 will work on an A2 but some parts must be changed. I've read what little literature I can find and every thread I've run across. I see no mention of the differences. Is there any chance...

I'm looking at an MEP-004A generator and unfortunately the rear leveling legs on the M200A1 trailer are missing. What are the odds of finding these legs? My searches so far are turning up empty. Richard

While searching for parts I ran across what I thought was a WC51 parts truck (minus the windshield of course). The sheet metal looked good so I struck a deal based on just a couple of photos. Turned out to be a WC59 telephone maintenance truck minus the service body. Since so few of these were...

My MIL is retired and moving from her property. In her back field there are numerous large trucks and wrecked vehicles. She called and said that I should come look around before the new owners take possession. A few years ago some kids snuck onto the property and smashed the glass out of every...
