    Mulemac01 M275 2 1/2 ton Gas truck tractor ON-GOING restoration and rebuild tread.

    I believe, on the winch trucks, the headlights were mounted higher like they were on the later trucks. Maybe someone else will chime in to confirm my suspicion. I have not had many of the older deuces, but I did have a truck that had a winch and was converted to multi-fuel. It had the higher...

    Branch of service affects value?

    I believe the M37 heaters were mounted to the front fender, weren't they? If so, the pictures show no heater.

    Were the M151s and the M151A1s in anyway better than the M151A2s?

    I own an M151A2 and I concur with what has already been said. The only thing I could think of that may be more desirable in an M151 or M151A1 is that they may be more rare given that they are older. I don't know that for a fact, though, because I don't know how many of each model were released...

    Newbie from n.h....just got a 1966 box back running

    It looks pretty clean. Also, it has the fuel burning heater in the van body (or at least the exhaust is present). Nice score. Good luck with the recovery.

    Weight badge numbers chart???

    I believe I read somewhere...and I am sure someone will either confirm this or shoot me down :) ...that the bridge plate number is something like half of the GVW of the truck (if a trailer is being towed, the bridge plate would show the C for COMBINED and that weight would be included). So, if...

    Weight badge numbers chart???

    I could be mistaken, but I think the OP was asking for guidance on the bridge plate number to be used with his/her truck. I think they were asking if there is a resource out there that specifies the numbers to be used for particular model trucks.

    Breton industries leaky top

    I would contact Breton to see what they can do for you. I would want a replacement, but I don't know what their warranty period is.

    Is 383 / 34094 the correct green for our MTVR?

    383 green is the correct color for your truck, assuming you want to stick with green as the base color.

    Freightliner M916a1 frame length behind cab ?

    No, another member (jcappeljr) purchased it and converted it into a dump, I believe.

    Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle AMPV

    It did in many roles. But, the M113 is still in service and serves many roles that the Bradleys do not (e.g., battlefield ambulance, engineer vehicle, command vehicle). The AMPV is supposed to send the M113 to retirement for good...if they are able to buy enough of them.

    Our MTVR camper:

    Great job. I enjoy reading about your progress. Thanks for posting all of the updates! Will the front door seals be able to resist blowing rain at 55-65 MPH? It looks like it could be a potential water trap. I guess they are designed for serious storms so you should be fine. You may want to...

    HELP! A member in need in Galesburg, IL

    Hello, a member (Winkster) has broken down in Galesburg, IL (I believe this is close to the Iowa border). His truck is at the Love's truck stop there. He is almost half way back to CA with a new-to-him M35A2C that he bought from another party. The truck has a 5.9L Cummins in it and it had...

    (PNW) Help! M51A2 Needs new engine. What and Where?

    I don't believe an NHC-250 will fit in your truck. I concur with Elijah on the 5.9 or an LDS.

    Storm's a-comin'

    I would not worry about it, other than limbs (as Wes pointed out) that may fall onto your top. I have a cargo cover on my M1085A1 and it stays on all year...same goes for my M105A2 wood trailer with a cargo cover.

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    I used to own an M125. At one point, I was talking to Jack Tomlin (long before he passed away) out in Utah about acquiring the correct artillery piece that was towed with the truck. When I heard the price, I gave up on that!
