The nice folks over at GMA cover corp sent this copy of the instructions for the Vinyl Cargo Cover. I asked them for permission to post it and they replied that they'd be happy to have us post it but also included a polite mention of their sales line numbers. I'll be posting it in the TM...

I went to post a the Instructions for the GMA Vinyl cargo covers and there's no Articles present (nor a method to load them) What gives? IS the page not loading or is there some greater issue?

On the Deuce, what are the best sized snatchblocks for single and double line pulls using the front winch?

I've taken photos of the M514 Trailers I saved from the scrap man. They're in the Gallery under my name. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=photoshare&func=showimages&fid=114

So wednesday, I'll be headed out to Fort Indiantown Gap PA for a WWII event. This'll be the first WWII event I'll be taking the Dingo to with my own truck. Part of the original reason I bought the 5 ton and then the deuce. So I could spend a few hundred instead of a thousand moving my WWII...

OK, with an impending trip, I decided to get a muffler and get it installed for the trip to ease my ears. I purchased one of the walker mufflers that everyone seems to be using. Advance Autoparts sells them as does NAPA, however out the door, I was looking at $80 for one vs $48 from Advance...

Could the folks that have installed mufflers post pics and part numbers/costs of their installation? It'd be a good resource for an article.

Guys what is this here? I'm thinking it's an M38 with the headlight trim, but it doesn't have the front hinged grill. So what is is?

So I have a pretty conventional M35A2 w/W that has a double output shaft PTO on the transmission. Obviously, the front PTO shaft and main control lever power the front mounted Winch. I was looking at the underside of the truck the other day when I was running some extra wires for my electric...

What's the amperage limits of the 12 pin trailer receptacle and cable? Does anyone think it'll handle 12 amps of current intermittently like for electric brakes? Squirt truck has a design for a brake conversion kit that I'm still thinking of altering to put the brake controller in the cab with...

Does the Air compressor on the M35A2's need to get it's air from the Air Filter housing? If so, what kind of hose is used for this? Just a piece of heater hose with 2 clamps? Presumably you run it up and around the back of the engine?

I think I found a good source for the Deuce's locking Door handles. I went through homedepot and Lowes and couldn't find the right handles. Seems the Genie line has the locks in the face plate and not the handle and the Stanley hardware is special order only now (meaning you'll never get it from...

In case anyone wants to be able to convert their M35 top an ersatz M109...GL has a Mess of S280 Shelters for sale out of Tobyhanna.

These are the Hawk M390c and M514 trailers that I've tracked down. Your basic M390c. 2 Ton trailer, has several boxes and bins for radar control equipment. 4 leveling jacks that double swivel. Swing up and then swing under the bed.

So an Army/Navy Store near me want's a Deuce outside. I've discussed it with them and they have a budget of several thousand for it. The plan is to get a Decent body'd truck and take the engine, transmission and transfer box out as well as the steering wheel, seats and instruments and other...

So, I know my Deuce will lock it's brakes. I was trucking down the street and decided that the now yellow light meant I needed to stop. So, I got on the brakes, hard. I must have hit the pedal like I do in the ferret (grab the wheel and lean back) because It really stopped. Sent my notebook...

So looking at old British Trucks has got me thinking about low profile tool boxes that could be installed under the beds of Deuces and 5 tons. Jerry can stowage too. The only thing I lack is a welder and chop saw to make them happen. Anyone think or make anything like this before? For Jerry Can...

So, I have a 800 mile trip coming up this end of January. And I want to squeeze more milage from the deuce. I'll be pulling about 5 tons on a trailer behind so I'm not sure if I want to disable the rear dual. But, the front axle could certainly loose the extra drag. I'd love to get a set of...

How do these things come apart? I need to be able to supply power on pin K (wire 37) for the power converter that's going to provide power for the brakes and brake controller in the trailer. I've pulled the rear compression ring off. Should the whole rubber plug pop out the back allowing the...
