That's too funny wreckerman!! I gotta store that "cockeyed" thing away some where for later use. :lol: Cool little gadget on your deuce cbvet. Now you just need to pick up a swingfire heater. I have seen them for around $100 on the Swiss Army Vehicles site.

I ran a 400 sony x-plod amp in my CUCV. I bolted it to the floor under the driver's seat using stainless bolts and spacers to keep it off of the mat 1/2". I ran my power wire for the amp out to the + lug on the front batt. The head-unit power came from the 12v block next to the glow relay. I...

Well, Jeff, it does suck, but hopefully it will work out OK in the long run. The Goat project has been sold to a great guy from MI. Hopefully after he gets it done we can convince him to drag it down to Haspin for some fun :D Hopefully I'll find the Mog a good home too. We should hopefully...

Hi Barry, Welcome to SS. Hopefully some more folks will chime in on where you might locate a MV in your area. Please make sure you post a Wanted ad in the Classified Ads utility found in the Resources menu on the left of your screen. That will help others see your ad after this post has...

Very nice machines indeed. I'm glad to see M-H is still alive and kicking. They do have a long history with protecting our armed forces.

That's fantastic. Considering the price posted in the other post, I'd be doing flips in the parking lot!! Glad to have you with us Deloit. Chris

Hey John! After I got home the other day I picked up a back issue of Supply Line and saw that you won first place at the 2005 MVPA! Congrats. Also, the issue of Military Vehicles Mag that I was reading a full write-up on your UC. Very cool buddy! Chris

Sweet 5-ton and it's a winch model to boot, congrats!! It looks pretty straight. Much rust through or just a little on the surface?

Looks great Ian. I'm going to have to vote for OD semigloss with reg. numbers and star'ed out door and hood. I do think Lanty's 383 will look good too.

Do you have any big truck salvage yards in your area Jim? I saw one when I was living in Memphis, TN that had lots of old trucks as well as school buses which might have and variety of Cat 3208s, cummins, detroits, etc... Might be worth a shot?

Wow John, that is truly impressive restoration!! You did an incredible job. Thanks for sharing that with me! Ryan, thanks for the info too. I might have to look into a T16 when my finances get a little better. They look like they would be a blast to resto and to drive. I see that Rod...

Ah! Oilfree and continuous duty makes a big difference! Go for it buddy. Glad to have back chief! You were always a big asset to the SS family!

Hey Wallew, I ran a M1009 for 10 years and the 6.2L always did just fine hauling it around. But, when you are talking about a 12k plus vehicle, I don't know that it would cut the mustard. You might be ahead to sell the 6.2 and put the money into Randy's multifuel. If you were die-hard to...

For heavy steel pieces like bumpers and wheels I found a local supplier for some stuff called Black Beauty. It's made of pulverized slag. It cut paint and rust nicely and left a slightly coarse finish that was great for fresh primer and paint. It is cheap too. Like $2 a bag. I did my M1009...

Hey LH7!! I'd say you could run a 3/8" air ratchet a little better. It will definitely be playing catch up if you use it for very long. I have a Campbell-Hausfeld compressor with a 20 gallon tank. I think it is rated for around 6cfm at 90 psi. It does pretty good on everything except high...

Hey jrosbo, congrats on getting the ole deuce to come to life. What I want to know is, where did the name Mable come from? :) I know the feeling of bringing an old soldier to life. The M35A2 I used to have was missing the clutch linkage, had a fork truck hole in the rad, was missing the alt...

RE: Hmm.. sounds good but need a visual. You got it Joe! Good luck with your sale! Chris

Lanty, that Corn Head grease is nifty stuff. First I have heard of it. Here's a link to the company's bruchure in PDF format: http://www.cenex.com/Downloads/CornHeadGrease.pdf Welcome to the SS Family Ian! Chris

Do you mean the overall size was too small Chuck? Or, do you mean the driver's compartment? I am 6'3" 230 lbs. Would it be a tight squeeze for me? The articles I read described the T16 as peppy, fun on and off road, an able climber, occasionally amphibious and easy to work on. Does that...

I have thought about owning some armor or tracked vehicles for years. I have recently been reading some articles in Supply Line and Military Vehicles Magazine about the T16 or universal carrier. I know there were several generation of universal carriers before the T16 that were also know as...
