Can anyone tell me what these brackets are for?

Was out in the garage talking on the phone to a high school classmate, a car stopped abruptly out on the street then went on. A minute later it was back and pulled into the driveway. 5 people in it and the driver and his son got out and immediately asked if my truck was a deuce. He knew it...

As most of you know I came from the mid Atlantic just a few hours from Aberdeen. Aberdeen is a big show and this year will probably be rivaled by the NJ Show. Having moved to Atlanta, I posed the question about the biggest show down here and the response is the FL Rally or the GA Rally...

All, Got a letter from the Gene Vance Foundation for Wounded Warriors yesterday. They have informed me of their appreciation of the members here who have donated via the VIN INFO threads over the past year. They didn't go into details on the amount. There was some other stuff in the letter...

Is there any interest in Cold War era maps?

The 2009 thread and all the previous year threads have been highly successful. Now the 2010 thread. Same rules as before. PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE YOU BEGIN. 1. The more info you provide the quicker I can find your vehicle. Provide as much of the following as possible: a. Serial...

Called Eglin yesterday reference my pickup and was informed new base access procedures are now in effect as of this past Tuesday. I'm good to go but wanted to post this out there for others so you can take prudent measures to call and ensure you will be able to get on for a pickup.

So I got my deuce from my storage location this Friday. Last I was there I was just getting started changing a tire prior trouble shooting the electrical system to determine why my batteries died enroute to Warner Robins over a month ago. Remember the tire got me and I've spent over a month...

Spent sometime this weekend working on the trailers. The M101A3 trailer needed a new hitch since someone jacknifed the trailer while in service. I had to bit the bullet and bought a used hitch assembly off of Austin Aviation. Price was high but didn't have a choice considering these are...

Anyone near Eglin that can grab and hold a 3 kw gen set for me until I can come down near Christmas time or if someone is picking something up and coming back through Atlanta.

Just to catch everyone up. Keep in mind I am on blood thinners. I screwed up 2 weeks ago. While dropping the spare on my deuce, I did something I knew better and have read and have been warned not to do. I didn't have a solid grip on my tire iron holding my spare up and it came around and...

Anybody have a spare set of Wellman 070 glowplugs for sale? PM me if you do. The ones I got from egay were the wrong ones. Looks like I may have to crack start the truck in the morning/this week until I can get them in and replaced.

Finally got around to installing a light set plug in my CUCV yesterday while repairing the heater switch. It's a daisy chain light from a command post vehicle that I've had for years. I think it is similar to the wrecker work light but not sure if it is the same plug or not. Works good and...

I will have my deuce to pick up 4 small heaters and 4 pallet containers. Anyone else need something picked up? Most likely picking up on Wednesday of next week. Will not be leaving for Frederick until the 17th or 18th. I can also take the 5 ton flat bed trailer if necessary. It's about...

Saw in a two week old Army Times today that had a story about a M4A1 Sherman in Manila Bay. A dredge hit it in about 20 feet of water. The tank had no tracks and missing the turret. There was a photo of it but I have no way of scanning it in. The photo showed that it appeared to be full of...

Anyone in the Ft Bragg area? I need a pick up and hold. Ideally would like someone along the interstate 85 or Richmond area. I will be going from Atlanta to Richmond to DC to Frederick, MD in mid/late October and could pick up then. Otherwise I will schlep my butt over to bragg to get this...

It's awefully tight in there. Suggestions on how to get compressor nuts off. Recommendation on tool since my sockets can't fit in there and don't seem to be much room for an open end either. If you removed one, what did you use?

Didn't think I won one but sure looks like I did. One of those 3/4 ton M101A3 trailers. Anyone near JAX that can pull it off the lot once my EUC clears? Better yet, anyone coming to the SS GA Rally that can bring it with them?

Can anyone post a photo of a LDS and an LDT motor showing how I can tell the difference.

Was curious, does anyone else on here own a vehicle that use to belong to them in the Army or was part of their unit? Right now I think I'm the only one that can claim the deuce I have (that I bought from ecostruction who bought it from GL) is the same truck that was hand receipted to me in...
