Bought M35-tom's used overdrive .71 gear set and finally got around to installing it in the M108. Truck now runs 2500 rpm, 62mph, on stock 9.00-20 tires. When I get the 11.00-20's on, top speed will be 68mph, not that I will drive that fast. The top speed gain is really nice. It's also nice...

11Echo was nice enough to send these pics to me. I got a hold of the salvage yard to see about buying the outriggers and was told no. So I ask how much for the whole thing... only 10,000. Guy was all about it runs. Ya right, with two days of solid work it might move under it's own power. To...

Found on craigslist, about 10 miles from me. My wife wants me to buy them(a first), but too many projects already. 2900 for both. 2 Dodge Canadian Military Powerwagon 1950's

How to make a M108 a wrecker. Got some chain adapters for the towbar, so had to try them out. Hooked up the M35 to the back and picked it up. Didn't hook up the brakes or safety chain, just took it around the country block to see how it would do. Used my wire adapter to hook the lights...

So who is all going? I and my wife will be stopping in. I know that the following said they were going. Doghead Gimpyrobb Junkyardwarscrusher Southdave Westech

First time I've used the M108 to tow with. Bolted a set of shackle mounts to the bumper and towed the truck about 6 miles. It's an ambulance that Dad uses for electrical work. Figured I better use the heavy truck since his truck weighs 12000lbs. Glow plug tip broke off and rattled around in...

Just in time for the cold, I installed a heater in the M108. Would be the same for any M35 truck. The heater box at first glance looks like a standard M35 heater. But the output side is a 6 inch hole instead of 4 in, and the heater core is a 6 core heater that fills the box much more than a...

Someone requested a video of how to operate a M108 crane, so here it is. Dennis

Hauling wood again. 15,000lbs Went on the annual wood hauling mission, using the new trailer and sides. 280 miles round trip. Only problem was my dumb butt running out of fuel. Not a big problem, Dad was driving separate, so now I have another 5 gallon fuel can. Here's a link on the trailer...

Wanted to be able to haul loose firewood, and whatever else I could shove on the trailer. Welded some angle iron to the laundry trailer uprights, and added a center post with angle iron on the long side of the trailer. Now just stack 2x4's from the top, and insert a screw on the top board to...

Here's what I came up with for towing MV's and civi stuff. Some of which is borrowed from members on here. 1st cable is a 3 foot long, one end plugs into the standard MV trailer plug on truck, other end is standard 4 wire plug(vehicle side) for civilian stuff. 2cd cable is 35 foot long...

Here's a video I put together today, hoping to show the basic operation of the deuce winch. It's not perfect, so let me know what you think. Click the HQ button when watching it to get better video quality. YouTube - Winch operation Dennis

Was in Akron, and decided to stop by Sam winer's yard. It was almost closing time, and they let me wander the yard. 2-M108's. One complete, yellow. Body has some rust on it, and hitch modifications were done. Controls for the crane were stuck, looks like a hose seperated and let water in...

Here's the thread on the first time around. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/33686-extensive-m108-repairs.html?highlight=m108+repairs So, after finding out the gasser engine had a bad rear seal, and a bad head gasket, I moved up the timeline on installing a Multifuel. So truck is getting...
