MD308, thanks for the help but with tubes and flaps that's well over three times what I paid for the truck! I think my spare deuce tires will fine on it for now! It is a 1 1/2 ton truck, it was a little over my car hauler's limit but I never got over 45 miles an hour. I have wanted one...

I think the navy got most of them, both Navy trucks I have seen both had winches so I am not sure what the ratio of WW to WOW was. I have been looking for some 7.5x20 tires with no success, so I may put some 9x20 Deuce wheels and tires on her to see how it sits! James

That is slick! Now that is a MOM at her best!!!!

Got her home with no complications, climbing the 11% plus grade to the cabin was sloooooow. James

Great find, I always seem to miss the local auctions, I know what you mean about the wait, the owner of this M37 died several years ago now the wife won't sell until after her death( and the M37 slowly melts into the ground). James

I am thinking about adding a hose fitting like my M715 has an running a vent hose up along the cab floor for the time being. I am also thinking about using Dot3 fluid for the time being since I will be draining and refilling as I work on the brake system over the next few months. Dot 5 is...

DO you have baffles in the aux. fuel tank?

I am trying to use my new power bleeder on the Hog truck, it's master cylinder vent is completely different from those I have seen in all the threads in the search results. They show the same type vent I have on my differentials. Mine has a L in the top of the MC filler cap and a brake line...

I was told the nation wide policy has changed, GL no longer helps load any private vehicles! If you are a truck line they will load, anything else you are on your own. Last time I was in Hooks they wouldn't even help pull a M105 our of a double line of trailers, expect no help at all. James

They did good from the bumper up, unfortunately they did nothing from the bumper down, so both corners of the clip are bent in, the passenger side much more than the dirvers side, you can tell by the brush guard and the head light ring won't fit due to the deformation. Just something else to...

If you find a source for the seal let me know, I need abut a dozen, but I don't want to pay $8 a seal either. We have a gasket wholesaler in town I am heading over there tomorrow, I will post what I find. As for caps, they seem to be about the same price as a whole can when you can find one...

The railroad iron and the pipe and the 3/4 inch platform must weigh in at 3-400 lbs. The front end looks about the same level, but it is rated at 11/4tons so the springs are pretty stiff anyway. And yes the OK Forestry Dept. compound has a wall around the 4-5 acre holding area made of Gamma...

From what I understand some of the maint. variant of the 715 were updated to the newer NP205, my truck came directly from active/reserve use and it still has the double stick NP200. The newest truck has a single stick due to the 205 with a standard size pto and no emergency brake! When I head...

It began life as a 6217 contact maint. truck, I am sure the OK forestry service scraped the maint. bed and replaced it with the std. bed, they did on the cheap, leaving the gas tank in the rear position. It is kinda sharp the way the transmission has a forward facing pto and the NP205 has a...

Is anyone heading to Hooks, TX for a pickup or inspection in the next week or so? If so shoot me a PM! James

The truck was a great buy, it was an ugly duckling, only after looking did I notice it had a winch, power steering, engine conversion, was an ex-contact maint. truck, so two PTOs and it had been converted to an NP205 by Uncle Sam. Too bad they VFD cut the bed for a cattle feeder mount. I...

Found time to work on the VFD monster bumper that was added to the M715/6217 I won in the Oklahoma Forestry Commission auction a few months ago. The firemen who built the bumper were at the compound when I loaded the truck. They wished me well on getting it off, the guy said they welded on...

I need a source for the manuals for the GTB Burma Jeep. The only numbers I have come up with are below, I have already checked the resource tab with no luck. I plan on picking mine up this week or next and I would like to at least look through the manuals first. James FORD BURMA JEEP GTB...

Here is the possible parts source, I know it is within an hours or so drive, I just have to remember the right highway? The last two shots are of a truck I first tried to get, but the owner is just going to let it melt into the ground. It's been two years and I had given up looking but not...
