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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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!
