    Current issue 900 or 1100 radials

    I have seen many videos on YouTube of mainly M149A2s still in current service. Most of the trailers no longer have NDCCs on them. Instead, it appears that they have radial tires. I don't believe they are G177s, although I am aware that some trailers did use them (I actually have an M149A2...

    2 1/2 ton windshield frame to m37

    The windshield glass/framework is the same. I am unsure if the A pillar is identical. I've never owned an M37. I do know that I purchased replacement windshields previously from a company that sold M37 parts exclusively. That's how I know the windshield glass/framework is the same.

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    I might actually believe the hours and mileage. They seem to match the rest of the gauge cluster, as opposed to the oil pressure gauge, which looks different.

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    I agree. 14,880 hours is quite a lot. Could there be a decimal missing in there...1,488.0? Or, could that miles? 14,880 miles seems like it could be right. General Kaiser, please post pics. I'd love to see your truck.

    M35A2 Low gear issue

    General Kaiser, I would be curious how the truck made its way to Iran. I assume the US may have supplied some to Iran prior to the revolution. Or, was it acquired in Iraq, maybe? Anyway, I am just curious to know the history of the truck. Good luck with the repairs!

    M101A3 Tongue Jack

    CUCVFAN has some repro handles (not many left the last I spoke to him about them) that he had made to the specs of the original handle. I am unsure what he wants, though. He is a good guy. Drop him a message.

    PA No title to a plate in PA

    If it is older...say before 1995...you can go through Maine. I just called them about a newer trailer without a title, and they said it was a no-go because it was over 3,000 pounds (unladen weight) and newer than 1995. With that said, the M105A3 is below 3,000 pounds. I believe, though, they...

    Looking for Someone to Fabricate a Roof Rack for My LMTV

    I bet Jeff Symanski on this list (TacticalTruck) could do it, but his company is located in VA...opposite side of the country. Jeff does excellent work all around. I highly recommend him. Maybe check with him.

    MKT-75 It started out that I wanted to make a tactical burger.

    However, if you want the trailer to match your HMMWV, then 686A tan is the correct color.

    MKT-75 It started out that I wanted to make a tactical burger.

    Assuming you are trying to represent the current color, Gillespie 383 green is the color.

    Very cool. Good luck with it! Will you be able to find the items you are looking for in Europe?

    Hauling a m274 in Tacoma pickup bed

    Rent a Ryder truck and bring ATV ramps. It will work perfectly and your prize is secure if you need to stop, stay over night, or the weather does not cooperate.

    New top and curtain! Top doesn't fit the bows, though!

    It could just be a factory flaw. I once bought a brand new M939 series hard top (from another vendor). I removed it from an unopened crate. Well, it did not fit right. The fabrication of the front piece that butts up against the A pillar was crooked. The fabricated part had to be cut to...

    Growly Steering M925a2

    Have you checked the fluid level? I assume so, but I had to ask. They whine a bit if they are low on fluid. If it is low, you could have leaking seals somewhere. In that case, I suggest using Lucas power steering fluid/additive. I once had a truck with such a leak and, after a couple of...

    Water in fuel? Draining water separator?

    I agree with the steel fuel line idea, too. But, the chain that secures the fuel cap to the tank could be contributing, too. It is steel and rusts. They should have made it out of aluminum or stainless steel. As the rust gets more severe, the chain starts to disintegrate and the rust...

    Weird M939 20 foot bed... Insulated/shielded?

    I had one just like that. It was an M928 (converted to A1 with super singles) by the USMC. It had a drop-side bed just as you described. I, too, agree that there are not many around, or at least I've not seen them either.
