GSA is going to be on me this week, I need a fuel pump for a M35A2, used if available and a quick ship! James G.

Got a new Deuce from GSA and the University of Arkansas Swine Farm! The truck was rebuilt in '88 and now has 6600 miles on it, down side is it has a big Honey Dew Tank on it so no bed and it has been sitting in a tree line for six years, up side it has a big hydraulic system driven by the stock...

Anyone know the tongue weight of one of these? I would rather tow and trailer, but tongue weight will make the difference. James G.

I need a set of the feet in the photo below, cash or trade! James G.

Does anyone know if any of the early Deuces had wooden steering wheels? A guy I work with knows where there is a 1953 Army Truck(I assume a deuce), he is pretty sure it is a gasser and it runs. it also has a wooden steering wheel? The price is right so I guess I will drive the hour into the...

Picked up my 1966 M35A2 this week in Little Rock, one of the best GL sites I have visited, always great to work with. Used the check list and only found the front differential and transmission a quart short. Added batteries and started right up. Made the 71 mile trip with only one issue...

Picking up my first deuce from GL, course still waiting for my EUC to be submitted, a week today, GL must be swamped? Truck is in super shape no rust or dings, has troop seats, heater, air shift, winch and power steering, full set of tools including the 8ton jack and the price was great. The...

This is the truck I went to look at in Mississippi. It is very rough, including a pretty badly bent frame where there should be a one inch gap between the bed and cab there is at least a 4 in gap.. I only got a couple of shots before my camera went belly up so if you have any interest PM me...

Friday I am going to have a look at a M108 Crane truck WW, the owner told me the frame is bowed? Any yard stick I can use to tell how bad this is(anyone with any experience), I really want the truck $2000, but I don't want to spend $10K getting it fixed. He says the reason he knows the frame...

This tool along with about 300lbs. of other stuff was in a batallion tool box I got at Ft.Riley a year or so ago. I have an idea of what most of it is for except for this one tool. Anyone have any ideas? THanks, James G.

Just bought a M715 parts truck from a guy. This is the same guy I have been hearing has a 5 Ton Wrecker. I didn't get a chance to see it but he says it has a gas Reo engine in it and it does not have a rear winch or 5th wheel? He has not used it in a year or two since his brother was using...

I left the switch on my M715 contact maint. truck, ran the bat. all the way down! I hooked one up to the charger no problem. I just hooked up the second on and the chrager is saying the polarity has switched, so I hooked it up in reverse pos to neg and neg to pos and it is charging fine...

My M543A2 came from GL completely dry, no fluids! I now have the 70gallons of hydraulic oil for the crane, I want to replace the hydraulic filter at the base of the oil reservoir while it is empty, any one have a source for this filter?? Thanks, James G.

Anyone near Camp Shelby with an afternoon open, PM me! Thanks, James G.

It looks like I may be getting a second M543A2 wrecker. It does not run but will roll on pretty good tires. Anyone have any idea how much rolling resistance there would be to pull the wrecker off a low boy trailer??? I have a portable 7500 lb rated electric winch along with a good single...

Saw these at Ft.Sill being torn apart and put in a pile?? James G.

Is the flywheel the same on the one and two cylinder engines? I picked up another one of the small compressors, it looks new except for the missing flywheel! Thanks, James G.

What is this??? When it was given to me I thought it was an antenna? But it ain't! It has four rods in it 46 inches long and all have male ends on them. I can't pass up free canvas but I would still like to know what they are, the guy said it came off a wrecker he had. Thanks, James G.

My first time EUC cleared in 26 days! Drove the eleven hour round trip today for the best looking M105A2 I have ever seen, wood and vinyl! Tried fliping the lunnette, yea right, I will see how it looks on the wrecker before I try that again! Tons of trailers and trucks coming up for auction...
