What is this tank on the right side between the mud flap and the large tool box?

Several months ago there was a Buffalo mock-up, not a real one but a mock-up on an M923A1 chasis that went for over $30,000!! Then there's the opposite story about the T38 Talon (two seat version of an F5 Freedom Fighter) that was flown in the movie Dragnet. As an airforce plane, it crashed...

IT'S OVER. Long story short, my credit card got hacked, possibly as part of the Target scandal, or anyone of several, and I canceled my card right after Christmas. I forgot to update the card # with GL until 2 days after the auction and they canceled the sale without answering any of my emails...

For what it’s worth I hit the TMs with regard to the Emergency Shutoff for both A1s and A2s. I searched every TM on 5 tons printed on the website and the only thing it says is that if it is pulled you have to report it to maintenance, typical army. My US Army experience is a little dated, but...

What do you suppose GL does with the batteries? Most of the trucks I have recovered or helped to recover had NEW batteries. I will make sure to take at least 2 good batteries. We're going to be in a small car, so room and weight is going to be at a premium. I guess it's time to get my Bronco...

That means it has engine oil, transmission oil, differential oil, power steering, four out of seven ain’t bad, at least that’s what my dad used to say about us kids. Of the last two trucks I picked up one had a full tank and one had 3/4 of a tank and both had brand new batteries, two on one...

I did get ahold of him, but all he could do would be to look it over for me and Jeepsinker will take care of that for me. Dieselfreak didn't think the MPs would like it parked at the curb.

Doesn't sound greedy at all! PM on the way.

Please do. I'll send you whatever you need to clear it with GL.

I'd love to get the truck to Dublin, TX, 103 miles north of Ft. Hood because I have a place to keep it for a while, but that's not exactly on your path. Can you give me a price for towing/hauling it up there? It's 88 mi. from Elgin to Ft. Hood and another 103 to Dublin.

I got myself jammed up by winning a bid before I double-checked my situation. I won an M923A2 that is drained: http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=7127620 It would be extremely helpful, and I'd pay for the service, if someone could claim it and store it somewhere. It stands...

I'll give away brake shoes and backing plates off of a 1968 M101A1, if you'll come pick them up.

You're gonna like those brakes, or if things go well you will never have anything to compare them to. I just bought an M101A2 with surge brakes and have set aside an M101A1 with 5-on-5 1/2 Ford hubs until I can put brakes on it. It gave me a white-knuckle ride down a mountain a year ago. I...

We went through a lot of this discussion a week ago: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?117947-Dead-Transmission-on-M923A1&highlight=horn and here are some of the conclusions I came up with: If conclusion 1 is correct, why worry your head off about it being 90% Dextron and 10% 10W?

In December I drove a truck from Texas to Colorado, including the state of Oklahoma or New Mexico if the weather had been different. ALL of them said proof of insurance was okay. About reading manuals YES, YES. An M923 is different from any car or pickup or smaller MV you might have driven...

You should be able to do as you're suggesting with the hub and I strongly agree with Recovery4x4 that you should let a machine shop do it. About the drum, you might get away with drilling one side of the existing hole; the new Ford pattern is only 0.19" larger in diameter or 0.096" in radius...

Anybody have a good recipe Rocky Mountain oysters or do you cook that east of the Mississippi? PS I counted; there are three members posting to this thread who are from west of the Mississippi, two are from Texas and one is from Louisana. I’ll bet USAFSS-ColdWarrior or Tinwoodsman could...

It looks to me like there's enough there to be worth saving at some level, particularly since M37s are getting rare. I'd love to have the old beast with a decent engine and transmission.

Did you happen to notice that none of those pictures or interviews were south of Saigon? That’s because the only time reporters or anyone else observing went down in the Delta was Bob Hope and Ann Margret in December, 1968. I drove lead truck on a dozen or so convoys and I helped retrieve a...

What about a "1991 BMY M923A2 w/ Winch 5 Ton Truck Tractor" that looks like an M931XX ?
