I enjoy watching these builds more than anything else so thanks for sharing the adventure. You're not that far from turning a key and that's exciting. A creative fella up north here wedged one in an M211 and he's real happy with the power in the 16,000 lb 6x6. I can only imagine the pull you'll...

I'll have to go back through some photos. I know I saw a cannon following an M52 somewhere. Here's a better picture of the armor. I'm almost certain it purrs and belongs in the Leopard family. Again, pictures out of CMV from DM.

Thanks for sharing that. One never knows where support will come from until the need is shared in all markets. Museums and landscapers are the first to go in tough times so I hope you get the support you need for 2021. Have you bumped into these fellas...

I stumble across photos doing Cold War research and always sleep better when I unload them. With permission from SM, these UN photos from Egypt 1957 had book end Ferrets 518 and 527 and 529 is in there somewhere. Unit 521 still evades me. The research continues so if more service duty info or...

That truck is such a beast. It's going to need a trailer to slow it down. Fortunately, we're expanding the wheel choice up here and polished aluminum is the new camo. Now you can blend in with the fleet with anything. Thanks to cmv dm for the photo. There's a nice single wheel trailer option...

We sure got lucky with the timing and getting the tonnage across the border. Merry Christmas from our G749 family, to yours. It worked out even better for me. For a few years I'd pop the stack off the truck, back it in to the barn, cover the stack with a pail.......forget, fire up the truck...

I don't even own an 800 series but I found a huge stack of working manuals at a wrecker and scooped em'. They were in a wrecked gubermint truck and I suppose someone was cleaning out the mechanics desk and tossed them. The capacity charts, lube charts, dimensions and pictures are always handy.

I stumbled upon some books on the 5 ton series and strongly believe that even a pig can't argue about the details in these books. Let me know if you need anything.........I have versions in both French or English. How's the healing going?

Adventures in the M1010 were amazing so you're in for a treat. The roof height is a problem and the light corners leave a dent in the skull. Other than that, closing the doors at night leaves you in a pitch black sleep emporium that should have out-riggers to keep it from swaying and bouncing...

Welcome to the forum from the deuce refrigerator we call Canada. I'm just the landscaper so check with the mechanic but I think one of the mating challenges is the bellhousing design commits an engine to the bell. It could have been a manufacturing process to speed things up but here's what...

It's the Marvellum from Massachusetts that was tasked to protect the 'take-out' 302's and 30 years later it's still working. Now all we need are a couple of strippers in the barn to take off some fine parts and sell the surplus. That's 10 GMC 302's in the barn if you count Goose and the...

I blew it today and forgot to grab a camera battery so all we have is a flip phone potatoe cam jam bam. Finally found the time to open up the last crate engines and look them over. We found a few good manifolds, carbs, plugs, distributors and a pile of valve covers. The first one still had a...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/g749-parts-list.137722/ When a mouse clicks on "forums" then scrolls down to "Early Deuce", the parts list is in the first couple of threads at the top. My kid tore down our seats and bought pre-cut Ash so I'll dig up those measurements That's awesome you...

Welcome to the green board. If you need a hand navigating or some tutorials on posting pictures there's a ton of support behind the board. I'm wondering if your family photo albums have some old jeep and M37 pictures inside? Seeing the green toys on the farm would make my day. We just...

I got to haul a purple thing to the G749 farm today. A buddy is in the moving process and didn't have a place for his thing. I wanted to be sure it looked like she was strapped down............. .............because you wouldn't want your wheel chock coming off a trailer. We needed a good...

We'll get back to those days when the trucks got more attention than an albino Moose. Meanwhile, I have the grease chart for the M135 and it's got more nipples than a shrewish short tailed opossum. Getting everything greased up, finding zerts that don't take grease, fixing that, getting all...

Well fellas, it happened again. We have another deuce going home, this time to a Veteran. Thanks to RL from the heart of Canada we found a little history on a few of the trucks. The M211 worked at the Penhold bunker for most of its life. I waited until a fella came along that would keep the...

Someone better get that truck in a barn or we'll tray to sneak across the border, play "let's make a deal Monty", haul it north and turn it into an M216 CDN. That truck is blue rare up here. Ideally, finding any markings could reveal a past that absolutely needs to have a future . That could be...

I started looking at frames closer after finding a leaning wheel on an M135. We lay underneath and pull a tape measure corner to corner, across the frame, down the length, we look down the rails, make sure the suspension mounts haven't been hit. One never really knows where things have been...

I'm just the gardener so I won't give mechanical advice. As the gardener I've seen the Detroit, Cummins and most recently the Duramax wedged above the Early Deuce pumpkin. The biggest challenge has been the upper link for the front dif that gets in the way of everything. The second challenge is...
