    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

Now I learn that...

    Early Deuce Transmission SturmTyger may have the sources so it will be interesting to see if my Richard Gere look alike transmission guy, can add to it. He did say that the parts he ordered back in the day came from the United States. We're tied up until next week on a project together but...

    Value of truck question

    Girls love a clean Early Deuce....love them. Someone took care of that truck so I can't wait to look it over, with your camera. Really appreciate you sharing the pictures, it's so clean it must have spent the last 59 years at a spa. Beautiful.

    Early Deuce Transmission Leaks The time management team is working on that project. It's nice how the Steel Soldier and MVPA troops silently encouraged me to call my insurance company asking for permission for someone else to drive my truck so I can video record it driving by....then post in...

    G749 preservation

    G749 Preservation Gracie the M207 has been hilarious since I parked her at the pond last fall. It was running strong but the starter packed it in so she wanted to camp near the lake all winter. Last week I pieced together a starter and it turns over real good but sounded like it wasn't getting...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I was going to warn you about that! These are herd animals and will not stay in the pasture alone for very long. That one looks like someone loved it like a prize winning bull. Is the paint really that good or are you just a great photographer? Looks sweet!! I can't read the date on the data...

    Getting the old girl started again

    A forklift....wish I thought of that. Instead, Mr. safety here leaned off the edge of a ladder to try and get 90° to the roof. I had the hood off but even leaning over to get the center window post and back of the cab would have been easier with the magic carpet. That truck looks great. Do you...

    USAF Thiokol 4T10

    I'm always willing to help! We have a bit of land in central/northern Alberta. In the winter we can drive in the snow and in the summer, in the pasture. I'm great at cleaning things so when you're not around, I'll wash the windows and put air in the new tires. It's the perfect vehicle for my...

    Distracted driving

    Distracted Driving Fines in Canada Ellie just wanted to remind folks that it's always good practice to know the 'current' laws when entering the different provinces in Canada, or any country you visit. If a visitor heads over to Nunavut there are no fines for distracted driving. If we end up...

    Distracted driving

    Text and drive much? Our little province of 4 million just had a nasty weekend of highway accidents. Then tonight, on the way back from a great family weekend at the G749 farm I see the results of this head-on accident on a road our family has traveled for over a century. With our Canada Day...

    My opinion

    I personally try to criticize in private, praise in public. Several employees have taken me in the back room over the years and made me a better person. Others have been publicly critical of things in my presence and now have better jobs. Whatever our opinion, right or wrong, the support here...

    Friday night park and bark Once again the A&W draws them in by the hundreds. Goose gets a ton of attention even with a drip pan under the middle. I had the biggest truck there until this showed up. A tribute to our Southern friends....and it's much easier to get away with then impersonating...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Spin on fuel filter mod. Giving the M1010 another option so thought I'd bump the post and share the part numbers and prices. The truck was modified by the PO with the help of Steel Soldiers. Something like GP relay, Doghead starter relay, electric fuel pump, 12 volt alternator, cut-off switches...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Now we're talking! You do have rifle holders, that'll be handy to hold a stack of beer, seeing that we don't have any guns. Tell us if that M211 has CDN on the data plate. I have a M211CDN which is close to complete and if you have one, then Canada is covered. Looking forward to photos and the...

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    I will get to an MVPA convention some day but we do have 3 local Alberta boys down there. If anyone wants to have some fun, I'll PM their names to you and we can harass them for not being solid members on Steel Soldiers. One of them is a great big LEO so the pest in me wants to do more but they...

    Goose leaks and Goose Bumps We're running 30wt non-detergent cheap oil. I might use this as an opportunity to test some products. Gumming up the transmission at this point, with the noise, rattles and silverish oil won't be too big of an issue.....besides, Section 8 army dismissal, not section...

    Possible acquisition

    It does appear that you can get some re-manufactured parts for the CCKW family. The hunt is one of the tasks that can be a lot of fun when re-building so let us know what you're not finding or need to re-create. The pictures are fine, crooked, sideways or upside down, just appreciate you keeping...
