It's almost been a year folks and the insurance companies are throwing down the gloves. If you receive a distracted driving ticket your insurance will begin treating it as if you got an impaired. Insurance rates will go up to impaired driving status and cancellations will begin to occur. Some...

We get too old fast so if you're looking for an adventure do it while you're young. As for critical thinking and business planning you're looking for a return on investment. Charles Vander Kooi does a great cost analysis on equipment. By the time it wears out the equipment logically needs to...

How much oil, water, tea, or eggnog came out of that transfer case when you checked levels? Have soldier B move that lever and tell us what it does at the TC. It even tells us in the manual that it will stick so the 70 year old linkage may be worn enough its not doing its job. Truck off...

I love me a big block in the morning. I think I found this in a deuce big block search or in images under "M37 big block", then followed the thread for pics. Get er done. https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/dodge/808896-bigevildodges-twin-turbo-big-block-1954-m37-build.html

The black and white is spectacular. Still green down there or did you get that snow we sent you? Green pictures always warm me up like a chestnut roasting on an open fire. Merry Christmas to Zelda and family.

You guys shouldn't have us thinking so deep this close to Christmas. I'll be up all week wondering if I'm already at the destination or still on a journey. If the destination is to drive a historical Military Vehicle (HMV) then folks should find a military vehicle to drive, today. There are...

M135 flat tow caution If you're talking about two fully serviced deuces rolling on a 500 mile trip next year then it could be a cool documentary. With the wash out we've seen in M135 bearings, pulling 6 wheels, hubs, bearings, races and that sassy front knuckle is a starting point. Greasing...

Fuel pressure GPH G749 I can smell an M135 thread a mile away, Welcome to the round nose rotunda. Found the data on page 227 over here on 9-8024, https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?106483-More-M135-TM-s 2 1/2 to 3 psi , 20 gph ...... We test them with a jerrycan safely secured to a...

Shop van comfort food A big welcome to Minnisnowta from Snowberta. Sounds like a worthy belly filling adventure. There's nothing like an early deuce and some may say I'm partial to them. If you like to work on trucks, this one will can give you nearly as much maintenance as drive time. The...

Seat mounting brackets That's interesting. I'll eventually check our CDN M211. She's a 55' so it might tell a story. Let's go after the manufacturing date angle. USMC008 has done a pile of work on the G749 parts sheet and started this database. Someone close to him needs to give him a big...

M216 Australia Did you find those oil filters locally? Do you have any of those 8 year old kids around with a snappy smart phone that will take the start up video, do a little walk around maybe and post it online? Youtube is still easier to access than faceoffruby. "Early Deuce start up"...

G749 security This is too rich not to share so grab a drink. Seano11 needed to store his little truck at the G749 farm so I left the gate open when I pulled out on the 24th. Seano11 called, said he wouldn't make it and asked if he should go close the gate. I said no, sometimes I leave the...

That truck is just begging for some natural sun light and magazine photographers. I'm sure you've got a plan but the truck, the story, the folks behind the build, truly need a monumental reveal. It's news worthy. There are a few boys up here with old M37's that just spent a week at the...

Lets bump an old post that closely matches a silly video of SeanO11's M931 on ice. https://youtu.be/Q6KfNSjUKGE

Make sure you update us on your experience and take names if you have anything but a great time crossing. Bring some of your favorite cab freshener because you could go home smelling like majahouchka. Scent masking is covered in CBSA training I'm sure https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html...

Close Calls These guys weren't watching their clearance today and this B-Train barely clipped the back of another B-Train hauling grain...the grain train. Roads were slick and heavy fog knocked visibility down to 500 ft ish at times. Radio said the boys were ok so we can say they squeezed...

G749 NOS parts It's still out there boys! These moments couldn't happen without attentive eyes focused on the prize so a big thanks to the PP's and other boys near Cold Lake. These were found years after we dragged a truck out of there and the guy wouldn't take any money for them. Can't say...

Screening process g749 I think we put the handle up to protect that sharp dash edge. Doesn't look like the glove box door interferes with it in the up position but it could be a clearance thing. A green transmission hey? M V iron mentally friendly lol. I've only see grey and red primer on...

Thank you Thanks so much Ken, having a forum to tell the G749 story is such a great privilege I hope we can keep it entertaining. The Halls of Steel Soldiers deserve to be filled with great stories of the trucks and folks like us that have some common interests, filling the seats of Steel...

Shaft, just the shaft Gear bottom to tip 2 3/16" Base to tip 4 7/8" Thought it would be easy to take a picture but I could make the shaft look longer or shorter depending on camera location. That's good to know for future calendar photos.
