I started taking coffee and donuts to my local registration office. Those girls put up with anxious people all day so winding them up with caffeine and sugar seems to get me on the road quick. Vehicle use allowance guidelines need to be much clearer because these restrictions are cramping our...

Do we have a launch date? You're moving along fast so really looking forward to hearing her run. It's good to see you're surrounded by some of the best G749 company a guy could find. Sturmy knows where to find parts! Historical research on her movements from the 50's would have been nice to...

G749 rat rod Researching G749 civilian and service duties we find all kinds of,,,,,,we see the creativity of,,,,the vision of,,,,let's just bump this thread for some more G749 pictures before they're gone. http://caroftheday.com/2016/10/17/an-inspired-custom-truck/

Ice is so unforgiving it's hard to imagine the advantage of siping but the ice racers/ rally drivers do it so....why not? Any grip we can squeeze out of rubber would help until we give in and add studs, then chains. We finally outlawed studded tires on public roads but in the good old days...

Looking at photos of the M1000 trailer I'm thinking you could take off about 16 tires and still haul 22 tonnes. What a beast, very excited to see pictures. There's an old, parted out Dragon Wagon up here I've wanted and the M15 trailer is supposed to be sitting somewhere up north. Saving an old...

That is good news. The brother made it to Kelowna but I'm glad I stayed behind. The snow in the mountains is a little deep this year apparently and travel has been tough. He says he's stuck there but once a guy gets to B.C., well, you know. Check out post number 25 over here. There is a bit of...

The Alert is out. Red Deer Alberta and the Prairie Motor Brigade affiliate of the MVPA is hosting the 2nd annual Military Vehicle enthusiasts swap meet. Aug. 25, 2018 from 9:30 to 4:30. Overnight parking was provided last year for those who can wheel in the day before. The mall is open for...

Yes, sir we need to see pictures. Most of us can't read so pictures are a must. Welcome aboard. Someone will likely follow up with more details but apparently our old deuces can't be tracked using the conventional method https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?164561-2017-vin-info-thread...

I forget what it's like to drive on pavement. Stopping gets me every time whether it's on snow, ice, hills, bridge cross-slopes, intersections, crosswalks....... when a guy 'didn't' see it coming' it's is very humbling and hummerbling. The low traction on the back end was noticeable on an H3...

GMC Axle Here is the report with axle pictures and axle damage on pages 23 and 24. It's with great respect for the families that suffered a loss of life or injury in this incident that we open the dialogue and discuss prevention. Our comments should reflect the seriousness and sadness of this...

That is not a funny story. I came here for a funny story. It looks like you solved the problem with money so you're good... or do you need Chinese translation? I might get an engine/transmission assembly loaded here before spring so I'll run to the scales and get a weight.....just in case you...

Transfer Case M135 2 speed It's so cool hearing from guys, or girls, that make these mechanical upgrades, tasks, projects seem like pouring a bowl of cereal. Thanks for coming along, I greatly appreciate a mechanical mind that can walk us through these jobs. I'll gladly re-string your 12...

It's never too late to get better at something and find solutions, without a doubt. Those are two of the best, signal to tell us what they're thinking and know why they make the intelligent lane selections they do. Educating drivers is vital to continental transportation, safety and even the GDP...

Anyone who has the ability to dream the outcome, then the drive to get it to the finish lines is a master in my books. To take the time to share it, record it and make a decent video of the process, that's just over the top. You're awesome. I'll come down and do some background guitar music for...

That's great that you followed up because the seal in the above photos is not the correct size. We'll get that new part number in the parts cross reference manual and I'm real happy this old book works for something. Once you tear into it, check the 'width' and 'style' of the original seal for...

How much room do you have in the frame? We used "glass setting tape" in the old deuce preservation. Wrap it around the window, press it in the frame then spill some atf in it to make it swell. I stopped in at a glass shop, took them some Tim Hortons and forced them into the back to show me how...

Accident Suv Settlement I didn't want to leave anyone hanging so after driving a gold truck through the prairies for years, working 5 hours from home base and commuting often, my firefighter buddy got something a distracted driver should see. Look out for him, he's saved a lot of lives and...

G749 New Clear Winter We keep finding sets of tire chains that fit the old deuces so it's likely we didn't go home without them. My hat is off and the hand over my heart to think our forces wintered these trucks over 4 decades. One can never say too much about the brave service men and women...

You might want to see this! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?115161-hot-rod-deuce-and-half&highlight= The M37 boys talk about a tight cab, no leg room, can't move the seat back....it would be important to get some real measurements before committing. There is a sweet yellow M37...

With the carbon tax push we're smelling up here, gasoline may be the least painful to afford fossil engines in the future. Who knows......I sure miss my Duramax but a guy can drive a gas engine and run an audio loop through their blue-tooth with the sounds of our 1966 GMC Toroflow diesel...
