On the fuel filler door is a sticker, someone painted over, but it is still clearly visible "Utah ANG, Boom Operator". Plus on the sun visor, is stenciled "Point vehicle toward wind-before opening doors", i assume that's for the jet blast, or it's real windy in Utah?:razz:

Got her home today, and yes, all the connections I had fell through, so I had no choice but to rent a tow dolly, and hope for the best. After pulling the drive shaft, which is bent from fork lift damage, then I come alonged it onto the tow dolly, it fit fine. It pulled home flawlessly, no...

Thanks again everyone. This truck is a 2wd, so disconnecting the drag link won't work, if I'm understanding correctly. I've pulled the lock cylinders out of the steering column before by removing the steering wheel, it really isn't a big deal, with a steering wheel puller, so if I have to, I...

Thanks everyone, all excellent information. And yes, this is the truck with fork lift damage on the drivers side. I didn't realize that is what it was, till you pointed it out, it makes sense now.:idea: I decided I need to use a car hauler trailer, I think I have a lead on one. I am also...

Thats good to know. I will be towing with a E350 van, with 7.3 diesel about 90 miles.

Thanks, thats true, just pull the driveshaft! LOL! Which I would probably have to do anyway to come along it onto the car dolly. But I'm thinking it may be less weight on the dolly backwards? The only thing that worries me with a trailer, is getting one long enough to fit a crew cab on it?

Thanks everyone, good information. It is a 2wd, so I figured it may just be easiest to tow it backwards. I really dont want to mess with the ignition until I get it home, so the biggest thing would be getting it into neutral. I have a 90 mile trip, I will see what the flat bed would cost, but...

I just aquired a "Mdl Uknw" crew cab from Gov. Liq., and have already recieved my "Paid In Full" invoice, so my recovery will have to be soon. From all the searches I've done, from what I understand the crew cabs were just civilian trucks, basically painted green. So does this meen they are 12...

Thanks. The center reciever bar is attached to the truck by a reciever on each side, that is just so it can be removed, and I can use the pintle hitch, so no it does not have a 3 pt hitch. I just use LED tail lights, they can be used for both 12 and 24 volts, for the side markers I just...

Very cool stuff. Would love to see the engines and drive train designs in these Russian vehicles if possible.[thumbzup]

Excellent looking truck! [thumbzup] I can't believe how smooth the hard top looks, mine looked like a surfers dream until I added the roof rack on top, and there are still a few more waves than I would like. Very good idea on the hard top construction!;-)

I know this isn't a MV, but I added all the support structure so I could tow it behind the 5 ton, and the frame could handle the stiff suspension. Tomorrow I'll add the hitch on the back of the 5er.

Thank you! Here are a few pics of the 4 door conversion. I dont know, sounds like a lot more conversion than I really need to do. All 3 axles already have electric brakes. I already have tanks I'm going to add to the truck, for extra air capacity, I just haven't gotten around to that yet...

Thanks. I was contemplating that, but I am worried about the dark color in the sun, the camper would become a oven. Maybe I could come up with a winter camo scheme that would look right.:)

Thanks, a few weekends so far, I should have the trailers frame completed this next weekend. Thanks. Not yet, but I already have a 24 to 12 volt converter, so I will be running relays off of that, controlled from the 24 volt electricals.

After the 4 door conversion, and then adding the 14x20 tires, I enjoyed driving the truck so much, I decided to make it a toy hauler also. I added a 5th wheel civilian hitch under the flat bed, so I could tow my 5th wheel camper, I still need to finish the cover. My plan was to double tow a...

Very cool! I was looking at going with the pickup camper also, but decided it would be too tall for what I wanted to do. So instead I went with a 5th wheel behind my 5 ton. I like what your doing.:beer:

Finally got all 6 tires and rims mounted today, so I will give you my tips on what I learned, atleast to get the A1(5/8" bolts, 15/16" socket) and the A2(3/4" bolts, 1 1/8" socket) rims mounted with no leaks. I had four of the A2's, and 2 of the A1's. A2's, all four of these were pretty...

Mine was a large Phillips head. I used a phillips insert for a drill driver, which was about 2" long, then a 1/4" wrench on it, inserted it inside the generator adjustment hole without removing anything, and turned it 1/2 turn. I could not get a screwdriver in my M818 generator either. Maybe...

I will check around, thanks for the tip.:beer:
