I just got a rough M54 multifuel cargo truck. I plan on keeping the axles, motor, and power steering setup. I'm wondering what the transmission, transfercase, and PTO off the side of the trans is worth. I plan on selling these if I can, and scrapping anything that's left. Any idea on the value...
I searched and haven't found any posts that answered my questions. I bought a new primary fuel filter for my deuce from Napa. I thought it would be a good idea to change it since I haven't replaced any of the filters since I got the truck from GL. I pulled my old one out, and it's different than...
I finally got my winch all redone and installed on my truck. I just have to put the chain on there. I'm thinking about buying a piece of rubber to glue on the center of the bumper, to keep the chain from beating all the paint off. Here's a couple pics. I have a bunch from the rebuild process...
Is there a way to post pictures and have them displayed like the old website did. All the pictures I've posted lately are pretty small, then when you click on them to enlarge them, they only get slightly larger. The old site would display them almost as big as the screen.
I have been going through my winch setup that's going on my truck here real soon. I have all my parts done and ready to go on. I took pictures along the way, and figured I should share them with ya'll. I have more of the winch itself I will post later.
Has anyone ever put 5 ton axles under a deuce? I plan on bobbing my deuce here pretty soon, and I already have some 16R20's that are going on it. I think those tires will put a strain on stock 2.5 tons once I start bogging it and playing with it off road. I would like to swap the axles for 5...
I hate to post this again, I know a lot have asked in the past, but I need one now. I am looking for the RT (passenger side) upper winch mount bracket part #7538686. I ordered one from Memphis Equpment, but they sent me the older welded together style that I already have. I'm looking for the...
Don't worry I didn't leave it there, but I left enough junk to pay for a third of the cost of my truck. Total weight of truck and everything was 28,800. I had over 11,000 pounds of scrap metal, plus some aluminum and copper I turned in.
Has anyone ever been able to pick up a truck on a Saturday? There are some parts trucks I'm looking at, but the only problem is I won't have a week day off for the next few months. I'm gonna call the site manager and ask them, but was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation. Also have...
Does anyone know what this fits? I ordered a brake band for my M35 winch, and Saturn Surplus sent me this one. It looks identical to my old one, but it is a little bit bigger, it won't fit inside the brake housing or clamp small enough to touch the drum. I have to wait until Monday for the owner...
I'm getting ready to get my tag for my truck finally. I can get a permanent tag here in Florida, and only have to pay for it one time, it's like $30. The only stipulation is that the truck is used for exhibitions, parades or public displays. I guess any time you drive it would be a public...
The other day I had my truck on jack stands test fitting some bigger tires, I was turning the wheels all the way left and right checking clearance. I noticed the outside tire turns sharper than the inside tire, oposite of what it should do. I think it's because the tie rod being behind the axle...
I hate to say it, but it looks like it's getting cut up this weekend. I stopped by Teds today and the truck is still there. The landlord said it's got to go, and his partner that owns half the truck wanted to cut it up last weekend, but Ted was trying to hold off so someone could buy it. Ted's...
Has anyone found a source for PTO parts for a deuce? I picked up a winch set up for my truck, and everything appears to be in working order. One thing I noticed so far is the gear in the PTO that contacts the transmission, is rounded on the edges of the teeth. It looks like from years of people...
Does anyone know where to buy them, or has anyone replaced them? I bought a set of front springs and hangers the other day in case I want to bob my truck, but the bushings are a little loose and I might as well replace them before I put them in. Thanks, Alex
Does anyone one have a few good pictures of something painted this color? I have searched on here and the internet and I am unable to find what I'm looking for. I plan on painting my deuce with USMC markings, so it's going to have to be painted this color I guess. I painted my towbar "383" green...
Who has bought one? I heard they are made in Korea. My new deuce from GL needs a passenger side windshield frame, it's rusted at the bottom like they all do. The drivers side has what appears to be a new one, I'm trying to figure out if it's one of the Korean ones or an original military issued...
I picked my deuce up today, and got to try out my new tow bar I built. Everything went smooth, and the truck ran great. The only snagg was when I asked about my SF97 the site manager said that I didn't have to fill one out, that they already have my title in Utah I believe. She said people have...
I pick up my deuce this coming Tuesday. I went and verified the other day that the serial # on the frame matches the one on the Data plate. The problem I found is GL listed the serial # slightly wrong. Is this going to be a problem when I apply for my SF97, or do they just right down whats on...
