The welder drives off the rear drive shaft, IMHO. There is one in the local MV club, not as nice as yours. Dennis

I need a Vinyl (Herculite) top & curtains for my M54A1 5-ton, 14' bed. The usual $ is around $400, maybe you can beat that.

Driving my 5-ton for years, I've found the only thing cops want is to pass you. Blow the scales too, the military doesn't stop for them.

Ah, those are water cans. I thought you were referring to gas cans.

Amazon has LOTS of gland nuts offered...

The offset lever type originated in Europe, over here long after the M37 was out of active service. I bought an entire containerload of Russki ones back in the 80's, sold like hotcakes. The pros: They pour better without a spout than ours. The cons: Seasonal temperature differences will...

Aren't there 3 types of 2.5 ton 'airpaks'? Don't forget that in the G749 series GMC trucks. All things considered the form & function is very similar to those in the G742 Reo trucks.

Frank has been deceased for a while now...

A Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) Mk 2 C-UAS platform during testing at Yuma Proving Ground 09.27.2023 Cruzin' the Creosote in style, eh?

Years ago, at a Military Appreciation Day held at the Yuma Proving Grounds, they were going to demonstrate a LAPES, or low altitude pallet extraction of an M113 APC from the back of a C-130. This in front of full grandstands... All was fine and well as the plane was about 3 ft off the ground...

Ball hitches are nonsense, pintle hooks and lunettes rule. I've seen twice where ball hitches failed, causing a lot of problems. Military pintle jobs just don't fail. Besides, it keeps others from wanting to borrow your trailers.

A tip from a guy that has painted a LOT of military wheels: If they still have tires on 'em, use a bunch of old playing cards as a masking between the wheel and tire. They should overlap a little, and being thin, they stick in that gap just fine. Let 'em dry, and use them again... And you...

I second the move to 11.00-20's. Don't even try for more 9.00's, and they are usually more $ than 11.00's for some reason. Your wheels are good up to 12.00 size BTW. Best of luck finding them, tho.

That sounds a little high for just one truck. Do you have a historic vehicle option where you live? I'm spending a little over $2k for the year, but that is on all of my 'fleet'. Maybe my driving record helps, I'm 70 now without a lot of big claims against me.

Yep, still have 5 vehicles on the policy and on the road, including the F700 and the M54A1. DG

A ground is just a ground, most systems I've seen/built for broadcast facilities have a lot of grounds to earth and metal electrical conduits/enclosures. These have continuous copper connection between them, with a single point of bonding to neutral at the master disconnect. Where else can one...

One can easily install a Johnny bar in a deuce, just ferret out the parts used on the 5-ton tractors. I had one in my M37 just for such towings. Worked great.

I've been involved with 6602 carbs. As stated before, the Holly will bedevil you forever. The Zenith was the fix.

Ha!

I've been rebuilding & driving M37's longer than most of the guys on the forum. The bed is the least lethal thing om the truck. Well, maybe more than the seat covers... Anyways, please don't confuse OCD with stupid. Knowingly setting up something that will hurt you is the latter.
