OMG he did it with a Carryall as well?!? It looks like a ghetto Bentley now! Is he going to cut up and pimp out a Command Car next? MVs should stay green. Well, for the most part. I don't doubt he does great work, but WOW. I mean, WOW.

Sorry, Joe - didn't mean to step on your reply. Seems you replied at the same time I was typing!

Wow....that's, uhhhh.... I don't think anyone who served with those trucks ever envisioned how...uh...different it could be made. Sorry. There's a good word to describe this truck. It's three letters long, starts with "G" and rhymes with RAY.

Sad end to a neat truck. BUT, there are still some good parts on there to keep others running: doors, rear axle, bumperettes, wheel rims, spring packs, etc.

I can answer these for him, I saw his truck last week at his place. He made the safari rack himself, welded it up and painted it. And yes, he can put the rear roof back on with the safari rack installed. It's a neat design, very creative. Won't help much in a rollover, but let's hope he...

They do - they have roughly the same cargo capacity as the 105, but since they are lower to the ground it's easier to load heavy stuff in it. I actually like the 332 better. Shouldn't be too hard to find someone in NC who wants to trade.

Here's a unique one. Guy wanted a M715 that had a rusted out cab fixed up, but made to haul more people. Uses a M715 frame, front clip and half the rear pickup bed, but replaced the cab with most of a Wagoneer cab. Very cool....

Most gun rings are demilled or removed prior to you picking the truck up. There is a lot of scrap armor plating on GL now that includes piles of gun rings and I bet you have to cut them into fist-sized chunks of steel before you remove the lot. If you're lucky enough to get the truck without...

Oh we gotta see pics of that! Sorry you lost the hardtop, but softtops are great because you can stay warm in the winter or rip it off and enjoy your "convertible" in the summer. I always like the soft tops, myself. Glad you got home relatively safely...

Nice save! Is a M1101/1102 trailer in your future to mate with the HMMWV?

I keep the headlights low if you're going to keep it non-winch. BE DIFFERENT! Everyone flips them and history loses the knowledge that low-mounted lights ever existed at all. How many guys here have the low lights? Not many. Like Hot Rod Magazine pitched about 20-25 years back when they...

I always loved that pic. It says, "I'm happy I got a GMC but NO BRAKES!"

That's some pretty beefy springs and hardware. I think you can do it but it might be overkill and a pretty stiff ride. My two cents. I've seen bobbed deuces use the M332 bed and it looked pretty cool....

If the fuel in the tank is old, or he used a mix of junk and hasn't run the truck in a while, the goo is just old fuel. Dump the tank, insert new fuel and try it out.

I saw it. Navigated the website. Looks and works stupid. I liked the older site better, only thing I like about the new site it is seems like they are using bigger pictures now (bout time, they've been using large thumbnails in a megapixel world for 10 years now).

Nothing. But this is America, we built it with SAE parts. And buying two sets of tools is costly. :)

For the most part, most vehicles up until about 1990 are SAE. Most since are a mix. For laughs, take a gander at the maintenance manual for the FMTV series trucks. Lots of metric stuff, but SAE is in there too. Enough to give a mechanic a migraine. SAE or metric tools? Just buy...

Chevy trucks from those years are EVERYWHERE. They were an extremely popular vehicle for GM during those years, and it will be at least another 10 years before they start getting uncommon. The junkyards here are loaded with them too. They just want $120 for a bench seat, $100 for a fender, etc.

Plan on a trailer restoration to go along with your restored tractor, VT?

This thread is awesome! I love seeing the progress. Plan on restoring and repainting the semi trailer now?
