As i move forward with work on my deuce, I need to know how the taillights were configured on early deuces. I know the left (driver side) light was a stop light/ blackout marker light. Was the right light a black out stop/ marker light combo as used on armour vehicles or was it like the left...
Over here in Iraq, I came across what was left of a Jeep Wragler in bone yard.(this bone yard has a lot of interesting things) It looks like a CJ8 with a wrangler front clip. I don't know the exact year since the VIN is missing(late 80's). Here are the particulars that I'm wondering about. It...

I was driving around the FOB today and saw something green sticking out from behind a vacated building. I thought maybe someone had abondoned a Gator back there. Turned around to check it out. The thing turns out to be a M8 Armored Car. It looks a little rough, full of sand (go figure), but...

Here is an flipped over M813 with airbrakes. I looked for the data plate to confirm the type of truck, but it was missing. Before someone says I shouldn't be showing battale damaged vehicles, it's not battle damaged. It's been flipped with a forklift.(GL in Iraq?)roflIf anyone want a perticular...

This is the final resting place before being shipped to the scrapper. There are many Russian vehicles and a few American vehicles. I found four M809 series 5 tons sitting out in the mud, one tractor and three cargo trucks. I plan on taking a few parts off the tractor...

My latest adventures with my deuce..
After getting a letter in the mail saying my Deuce needs to find a new home because of impending construction in the area, I start looking and planning for the move. The plan was to go home with necessary parts to get my Deuce roadworthy and moved to a new...
What is the diameter of the fuel line for the gasser. Also what size are the fittings on for the fuel pump. I have a new fuel pump and no fittings. The old fuel pump was missing.
I have to go home and find a new home for my deuce. The storage yard is being closed due to upcoming construction on the Huey Long Bridge. I'll be traveling down to La between 13 to 20 May to get it moved. I'm going to try to finish the brake system repairs and be able to drive it to it's new...
Here are the technical drawings from uncle sam on adding electric wipers to the duece. The system was designed for the M35A3, but this is a kit to retrofit it to the A2/A1's and gassers. I have pictures of the main parts, but don't remeber where i put the camera. They will be uploaded soon.
After scouring the web and other sources trying to locate the TM's for the compressor sitting on the back of my duece, I decieded it was time to get serious and go ask the guys working at the Engineer Museam here at Ft Leonard Wood. The older guy that worked in the gift shop directed me to the...

If you've seen the picture of my M45 Compressor truck, you know how the cab is rusted away. The cab is pristine compared to the exaust system. Does anyone have the measurements for the exaust pipe from the mainfold back to the muffler? I tried to remove the pipe in one piece so i could get a...
