Actually, just run through the left navigation bar on this site for some nice pics on what running around in the Czech Republic. The site's name just means "old trucks". If anybody needs parts of an east-European truck, let me know. It's getting a bloody expensive hobby over here as well, but...

:jumpin::jumpin:Maybe drool some more Especially the youtube at the end of the article :drool::cookoo::drool: and more :beer:

Clinto, thanks for the reply. I think youe right, maybe I should have asked, does anybody know if these later trucks (that is, M39 M5x early 1970s) were ever fitted with something else than air-assisted hydraulics? All I found says no. Again, wrong formulated question. What I was trying to...

Warthog and moderators, is there a manifacturers specification sheet or did anybody ever made a list with the standard dimensions of each of the M39 variations, like M51A2, multifuel engine, frame these dimensions, standard tires that size etc etc? I need some of the basic data like brake...

Thought I bumped this up the line a bit. Really nobody knows about this or am I posting it in the wrong topic line . :sad:. :sad:. :sad:? :lost: Thing is, If I have to make adjustments, maybe its easier and, if so, definitely cheaper to get the necessary stuff here in the Czech Republic...

I am occasionally in the USA as well, we have some joint projects. So if I had the funds, I might bite for "as is" and join the Alaska run next year (although I prefer northern British Columbia, worked there during the winter). Unfortunately, trying to keep a non-profit running in a...

Noticed that under the resources, this depot manual for the M39 series is not mentioned. Found them by accident and downloaded it. This link will bring you to the page which has the entire part, you can download it as pdf file through the link in the right upper side. Maybe one fo the...

OK countdown is running. Next Saturday, if nothing goes wrong :drool: (touch wood, burn a candle, vingers crossed, etc, don't be too optimistic), I will take possesion of my first truck, a M51A2 (with pictures). ONe week later, I have an appointment with the "State Road Service" to get the thing...

I am busy with getting a 1973 Kaiser Jeep Corporation M51A2 multi-fuel, hope to pick it up October 2 or so. From what I read, I think it comes fitted with the LDS-465-1A Turbo Multifuel (as opposed to the ...1). Seeing the picture, can anybody say if this is correct or not :oops:? Problem...

Maybe wrong place to post, but I ran out of ideas. I am trying to find the current counterpart of GL on the European mainland. The one in the UK is easy to find; I think its actually part of the same company as GL. There should be one in Germany as well. Actually the main location of the DoD...

Thought I would share this with you. Went to a very local "old trucks show" close to where we live. We had our last action in our museum, so I had to sneak out in the afternoon shortly to visit the event. Thanks to the rain, most trucks (9 out of 13) were out already. Too bad. The small...

As usually, I make it too complicated and also fail to do the 101 class before spekaing. See the two pictures of the fifth wheel details. Now quite common in Europe: the fifht wheel assembly bolted onto a base plate. The base plate is bolted ONLY WITH FOUR BOLTS onto a slide rail. The slide...

It's not common here in Europe, only in Finland and Sweden, and since a few years as trial in the EU with special combinations. Another problem is that in Europe the dimensions of a tractor and trailer are limited. In the netherlands, the max length are as following single motorized vehicle...

By any chance, did you get one of a Kaiser Jeep M52A2 tractor as well? Might be interested in buying it, or at least like to have a picture of it.

Can anybody post pics of the ID - tag (or how you call it) of a M52A2 tractor made by the Kaiser Jeep Corporation, preferably a late 60s or early 70s? The picture shows the tag I mean. Basically the weight and dimension data and vehicle identifiaction as they appear on a real tractor, so I...

. Which planet you are on :wink:? You guys left millions of $$$ in good army stuff standing in Germany without ever using it, then after 30-odd years you sell it with 50 miles on the counter. Barely enough to cover the trip from the factory to the train to the ship onto the next train and...

Just found this site. Basically, the cargo assembly fits as a small wheel-less trailer over-on the fifth wheel. Gave me some great ideas how to do this. For a cargo body, it would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, for a dump truck a bit less; the fix of the hydraulic cylinders are the big...

:drool::drool: nice pics to look at, but too far away to be of much use :drool::drool: Wheels The pictures at the top were made by some Dutch on vacation in France this year! Came accross this scrap yard. The yard's website is Surplus Militaire Industriels

Just had a better look at the location of the hydralic system pushing the dump body up on DesertFox and Marcel's trucks. Those cylinders are located much farther backwards and attached to the dump body much farther back then I thought. I would expect that locating it more forward and attaching...

I'm trying to do something similar, but we were not the first. Have a look at OIFVet's thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/mechanical-upgrades/20171-back-converting-tractor-10.html#post669789
