Why not fix it yourself? Cut the front wall off, build a new front wall out of wood, or plate steel, or aluminum sheet. That trailer still has plenty of life left in it!
I'm planning on bringing a CUCV M1009 but that's dependent on a couple bonuses that I am still waiting on. If that falls through, I'll just be towing a M101 to sleep in.
I have a bunch of pics of CUCVs, every one I have seen the front turn signal lens appears to be clear, with maybe an amber bulb behind it. However, most turn signal lens on other vehicles are amber, with a standard white bulb. Are the turn signal lenses on the CUCV supposed to be yellow, and...
Then the earliest of the FMTVs will start coming out, but that's a ways off. Plus with reset/rebuild programs, and defense dollars always short, more and more trucks will be sent through them to provide like-new trucks to the DoD at a savings over new ones. So the majority of the HEMTTs...
Is this a Canadian M104 trailer, or an old American M104 trailer? I can't see much of the front wall of the trailer box, but it looks like it has it's own tailgate, like the early M104 trailers the USA used in the 1950s.
I believe there are still PILES of them in the system. There have been only a few A2s that got let go so far, so there's a whole 'nother batch that we haven't even seen yet.
Does anyone have some historical insight into the models of cable reel trailers that have been used by the Army Corps of Engineers and other combat engineer-related units since WWII?
Subscribed - I'd be interested in seeing any recommendations. My local neighbor joediveguy has a M1009 that he says gets only about 15 mpg, want to see if there's anything I can recommend to him.
Oh, this hit me like a truck. Bill and I were good friends, we set up the Vietnam display together at the Gilbert PA shows, and once at the MTA show. We'd bump into each other at the Jim Thorpe show as well. He was a great guy, always had a smile and a wise-crack joke for me every time we...
Thanks, but I still feel that I held up the line trying to make sense of the map and the trails, and how they didn't match. Plus, many of the trails were not marked on the map, nor did they have signs. Frank, the pilot of the M923 I rode in, did great as a driver, and he said I batted .900 in...
As always, had a great time at Rausch Creek. Wish it didn't turn out to be the weekend of the race there, as well, but that's not of our making. First time I've been over on the other side of the road, so that was kinda interesting, and frustrating as a lot of the signs were down and a few...
