I know that several people have titled trucks and trailers in Colorado. I can't believe that everyone has been getting the run-around like I have. I am mad enough to chew the heads off of nails!
Questions:
Do you have to have VIN inspection on Trucks?
Do you have to have VIN inspection on...
I'm going to let bushman5000 tell the story, since it was his trip and he has the camera, but there is one item I would like to relate, well 2.
Norman, OK is the 4th site I have picked up equipment at and once again I can say that the folks at the site are great!! It is a National Guard...
Can anyone pick up and hold 8 heaters for my MKT-85 kitchen trailer at Ft. Sill for me?
I will be in Norman, OK on Friday, July 18th to help pickup an M109 van but Ft. Sill is not open on Fridays. The closest pickup schedule I have been able to get is Monday, July 14th.
The spec's say they...
I recently acquired an 1988 MKT-85 Mobil Kitchen trailer. It is in fantastic shape, but has been sitting in the sun for a couple of decades. All the canvas is rotten. It is also lacking all its 6 heaters.
Any help finding this stuff would be appreciated.

I have 2 EUCs for equipment at Hill AFB, one for a trailer I already got invoiced on and one for electronic equipment that GL hung up for #$%& reasons. If the 2nd EUC doesn't come through by 4-22 I have a problem.
If all works out I will be making the trip 4-27 thru 4-28. There will be room...
I will need to pick up an MKT-85 kitchen trailer in Salt Lake, UT and get it to Denver, CO. If anyone is making a trip like that I could use some help.
Does anyone need anything hauled east from Salt Lake? If I don't find anyone else making that trip, I will probably rent a small box truck...
Some time ago we had a thread running about converting trailers, but I couldn't find it. It was long enough ago that I might as well start a new one.
I bought a scrap M101A1 that was missing enough parts that I didn't need an EUC, but it had a complete box in excellent condition. I wanted a...
I just finished cutting off the axle ends on an M101 trailer and welding on civilian hubs. I have some parts left over that I believe will fit an M37. Some parts were already gone such as both wheels and tires, one brake drum and the tongue. I have:
2 backing plates that I believe are the...
You see, the problem is that you guys are having so damned much fun with your M35s around town that I’m getting jealous. In many ways my M109A3 is not as useful.
One big question that breaks down to several smaller ones, “If I had a cargo bed (35Ax style) how difficult would it be to switch...
I know that a lot of CJ3Bs were built in Japan in the '50s. The South Vietnamese had them by the thousands. The question is were M151s ever built outside of the US?
I saw a program on the History Channel last night and they were driving an M151 around Cambodia. It had combat lights and the...
Advice: Be very careful when you take the nut off to clean up the threads on the lunette first.
I needed to borrow a lunette from one trailer to move my hulk that came without one. At 8:45 PM, 15 minutes before the storage yard locks down, I did notice that it got a little harder to turn when...
Emergency Relay Valve problems
I have a 1986 M105A2 and a 1990 M105A2 trailer. The Emergency Relay Valve does not look anything like the unit depicted in TM9-23300-213-14&P. There seems to be a part missing on each and another broken on the ’86.
I saw a broken part on the ’86 and went to...
Does anyone know the diameter of the hole that accepts the pintle eye on an M105A2 trailer? I am going to pickup the trailer in the picture next week and I need to show up with an adapter to put a civilian hitch on the front.
I was cruising GL and found an interesting engine and thought that one of you guys might be interested.
It's a 4 cylinder flat head, but the radiator hose connection doesn't look right to be a Go Devil. It's not a pull-out because the freeze plugs are still clean...
I just won the bid on a salvaged M101A1 trailer, so salvaged that it doesn't need an EUC. My wrench bending buddy and I want it to build a civilian trailer to pull behind his Jeep and the missing parts were not very important.
BUT, I have to part with something else. My wife has been kind...
I've been going over my M109A3 deuce looking for any papers that might tell me something about it's history. The first thing I noticed is a small tag rivited to the panel between the driver's door and the seat. Can anyone tell me what it means?
It looks like my truck is a 2 war veteran...
My ’66 Kaiser Jeep deuce is safely in storage and waiting on papers. I have a problem with engine oil that I need to get sorted out. In general I am real happy with my purchase, even if this issue gets deep.
Before I go into the oil problem, just a quick status report. The missing blackout...
