Keep me in the loop. Here's some info from the war department on the Continental R975-C4 Tank Engine.https://archive.org/stream/TM9-1725-nsia/TM9-1725_djvu.txt

I'll poke the Alberta Aviation Museum, Alberta Reynolds Museum and Buffalo Air. Buffalo's doing a youtube series on "Plane Savers" to prep a DC-3 for D-Day so you can often get to those guys through the comments section. The M18 used the 975 and was the fastest piece of armour until uncle Abe...

I'll bump this for you without a real answer and more eyes will see it. I bought air paks from sam winer that were supposed to be from the deuce but they weren't so let's get more info on your deuce air pak. Does the M36 run the short pak? Here are a few threads to add to the confusion...

I had one of my old veteran buddies tow one recently without checking the manual. We're not sure if he cooked it yet but it was hot. I was never a 'read the manual' guy so without the previous boys coming forward with their stories, I might be a transmission burner too. The info in the manual...

I'd love to see the shielding cross-section. Copper / nickel 'chicken mesh' wire is what we're finding for early RF shielding in structures. We've also seen documents on 2" lead sheets on a roof but we'd never lift a trailer if we did that. Real interested in seeing some manuals on this one...

Did you get your measurement yet? I'm away from the trucks so telling you they're 4 inches would be wrong. Using you as an excuse to go see the trucks is viable. Hidden gin poles on the back to load the quad would be handy!

Those round cabs drive me nuts so I poked around for pictures. That's just a great looking project so thanks for taking the time to share it. Here's a cool Aussie site with camo markings. http://anzacsteel.hobbyvista.com/othervehicles/aussiecamlw_1.htm The primary 'images' search leads to all...

The country is big and time is small I haven't been around as much as I'd like so I found a round place closer to you. It's in Alsask Saskatchewan and we're going to book a few weekends this year for visits. You still traveling with a troop? What's your mission with the trucks this year...

That's a big truck so an equally big welcome to this side of the pond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IXM08irm5I I'll bet someone knows that info off the tip of their tongue but have you tried looking at the data plate info in the technical manuals...

Measure twice cut once early deuce lid I'd take a wild guess that we'll come up with some different measurements with all those sassy curves. The back of the cab sits on a rubber puck and two springs so depending on wear, we could be out a couple of inches. The point over the frame rail was...

I used the term 'M135 bed size' in the search and your thread is on top. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176429-M135-Bed-measurements-and-pictures For your other question, what the what are you wanting to know? I'd start typing a bunch of guesses but its better to ask. Top of the...

I think you can email pics to Eric but I see he hasn't been active for a while so we're doing a check on him. We have a dedicated section, both virtual and physical, for the American Civil Defence history we find that compliments the story up here. There's not much CD history left so even that...

Are there layers of paint on the driveshaft too? Primer, green then is that red on top again or bottom primer? That beast was maintained. I can't remember a restore with a fuel tank that wasn't full of holes. That tank looks beautiful. Or are you using your trick camera again that hides all the...

40's temp guage removal Some of it looks different then the 1948 gauges but there are similarities. We'll likely need to go through that same process so really helps to go through it once already. Thank you. This beast showed up as a stray in November. We usually let the neighbours and nature...

It's that 50's technology where they decided to use the same axle on the front. Since it runs a different direction with the pumpkin facing in, they had to design the front drive in the TC to go 'backwards'. Flipping the front axle will let you run a modern TC where the front drive runs...

Oh the 40's What was the final method of removing the temperature gauge? Not sure if it's your thread or some kind of old age trauma but the brother has a huge fleet of 40's civi cars rotting in the bush and he started pulling frames out this week. Not sure how far it will go but I might get...

My jaw is sore from smiling, thanks for the ride. It's too bad you can't 'run what you brung', service it, strap cameras on it and take us to work the way it is. Kinda like a Plane Savers video only "Deuce Savers" video. Mikey's raised about 24 grand in just a few months...

G749 parts and pieces The more we dig, the more neat things we find. These parts showed up thanks to a man that knew they'd get on a truck and not stay sitting in his barn. Check the shelves guys, a water-pump repair kit looks just like this. This manual from 1962 just showed up, I'll give...

Just another axle There are a pile of suppliers listed that built the G749 series but Eaton and Rockwell aren't on the list. As reported, GM Truck and Coach plant has it's face on these 50's 6x6 rear-ends. Did Rockwell take over the GM diff line? When? If only there was some way I could find...

Old thread? I have mufflers older than this thread. Still a few mufflers sitting around in the garage gathering rust. Haven't had one fail yet so we're not driving the trucks hard enough I guess. Send me a PM.
