Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a set of the 8 lug 16.5 inch plain steel wheels like the ones Alpha Heaven uses to mount the HMMWV tires on their CUCV's? They are wider than the M880 series wheel. I just picked up a set of brand new 36 inch Goodyears for a price I couldn't pass...

I just lifted my 86 M1008 and much to my dismay, while finishing up the rear of the truck and getting ready to connect the linkage for the rear proportiong valve I watched as my brother spun the valve to "see if it was free and working" So now armed with no knowledge of where it was originally...

I may be in the market for a Multifuel M35 W/W. A guy I know has one that he's looking to get rid of because he just does't have the time for it anymore. My question is, how much does the fuel economy/power change when they're run on say gasoline or kerosine? My father had a multifuel duece...

I'm thinking of getting another MV for the collection and and have been seriously considering a Mutt. I just got a M416 trailer so I figured why not make it a set. I see there are plenty of parts available for them. My questions however are how well do they work in the real world? What kind of...

Well, I finally broke down and lifted my 86 M1008. I always wanted a lifted pickup but debated it for practicality reasons. I came to the decision that I should do it, and if I hate it, I can always take it out and sell it. I used 4 inch Tuff Country HD springs up front. 3 inch blocks in...

Does anyone have a good picture of the original tail lights for a late 60's (ideally a 1967) M416 trailer? The lights were missing on mine and I have seen most with the later composite lights. I was told they should be the same as the M151's tail lights but have seen them with several different...

Whats the largest military trailer that can safely/reasonably be towed behind a M1008. I found a M416 trailer that's cheap that I might pick up, but I was a bit disapointed that its too small to fit a ATV in. Are there any larger trailers that can be used with a M1008? Or are you limited to...

I found a 416 trailer by me at a junk yard in pretty decent shape. The only things missing are the data plate, the tail lights, and someone cut the tailgate/rear wall out. I know only the canadian versions of these trailer had tailgate but it was the only way I can think to describe it...

I've been looking around for a set of HMMWV 8 or 12 bolt beadlock rims and tires for my M1008 for quite some time now. I thought this might be another good place to look. I'm trying to find a set somewhere in the NY, NJ, PA etc... area so I can either pick them up or afford to ship them or see...

It seems as though I may have finally found a set of HMMWV beadlocks and tires that are close enough to me that I can afford to by them. But before I do I just wanted to ask a few questons from people that have real life driving expierence wth them on their M1008's. The set I'm looking at is...

I know this topic has been covered several time before, but does anyone have the part number for the plug in trailer conector that they have purchsed and sucessfully installed on a M1008 or M1009? I know that the kit for a 73-84 truck should work because alot of the military trucks used the...

I finally decided to be saranaded by something other than the 6.2. So I installed a CD player in my truck. However not wanting to cut up the dash lead me to take a different route. I needed some type of console. But wanting to be a little different I used something a little cooler to make my...

I was out on the beach last weekend fishing and the need for some type of bed cover has become more apparent. I really want a military cargo cover for my M1008. But before I make the decision to get one of them rather than a comercially available soft bed cover I want to ask the few of you...

A few years back a former employer of mine bought several former dodge military trucks of the same vintage as the M880's The only difference being that they all were 2wd instead of 4wd. One was actually a ambulance too. I was just curious to know what they were and how common they were/are as...

Now that the weather is getting nicer I would like to start cleaning up a few pieces on my truck and also start repainting it. Has anyone here used the camo paint from colemans? I know about rapco and the few other places that sell the CARC and CARC replacements in cans, but colemans is easier...

This showed up at work the other day. Obviously I had to block out some of the info on the truck for legal purposes but I imagine most of you can figure out were it's from. Anyway its cool to see them still in use. There's a bunch more being used by them but I never have my camera with me...

Just for verification what is the civilian name for the M1008. Is it a Chevy K30 pickup? Thats usually what I order parts for, but just recently I tried ordering a dual steering stabilizer for my truck, for a 86 K30 pickup and it didn't work, shock stroke was too short. turns out t was...

Just last night I went to clear some mist off my windshield on the ride home and noticed that the wipers wont return to their resting position anymore. they just stop whereever they are when you turn of the switch. I plan on doing the checks suggested for the wiper fluid pump not shuttting off...

No one seems to make an adapter from the military plug to a civi plug. And I've been through the training manuals several times and have had no luck with indentifying the wiring for the trailer plug so I can make an adapter from a old military trailer harness. Plus I've heard some of you got...

I've been searching to no avail. Does anyone have a write up, or know of and where I can get a TM or book that explains or outlines how to mount tires to and assemble the hummer bead locks? I can't imagine that there is anything too complicated about them. They seem fairly straight forward...
