How much room do you have in the frame? We used "glass setting tape" in the old deuce preservation. Wrap it around the window, press it in the frame then spill some atf in it to make it swell. I stopped in at a glass shop, took them some Tim Hortons and forced them into the back to show me how...

Accident Suv Settlement I didn't want to leave anyone hanging so after driving a gold truck through the prairies for years, working 5 hours from home base and commuting often, my firefighter buddy got something a distracted driver should see. Look out for him, he's saved a lot of lives and...

G749 New Clear Winter We keep finding sets of tire chains that fit the old deuces so it's likely we didn't go home without them. My hat is off and the hand over my heart to think our forces wintered these trucks over 4 decades. One can never say too much about the brave service men and women...

You might want to see this! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?115161-hot-rod-deuce-and-half&highlight= The M37 boys talk about a tight cab, no leg room, can't move the seat back....it would be important to get some real measurements before committing. There is a sweet yellow M37...

With the carbon tax push we're smelling up here, gasoline may be the least painful to afford fossil engines in the future. Who knows......I sure miss my Duramax but a guy can drive a gas engine and run an audio loop through their blue-tooth with the sounds of our 1966 GMC Toroflow diesel...

The short ride-along leaks with the sweet sound of a solid truck. I've got a stupid grin on my face so we can tell you're probably feeling pretty good about it too. Is there any rub from those tires climbing hills? We've been doing 0-50mph runs and seeing the 40 second mark click by with the...

Tread selection direction The good thing is, the guy that bought this 4x4 truck in Alberta and pulled a trailer to a spot near Detroit...... .....and this guy that just survived a winter trip from Minnesota to Alberta, both have good stories about MV Ice road trucking and the new rubber...

Merging those posts would be good because I can't recall whether you still have that old transmission. There are two guys right below you that are hungry to tear on old hydromatic apart. Still got it? Sounds like you could write a book on the administrative challenges getting one registered. 30...

Museum Operation Protocol usage program Welcome aboard, thanks for reaching out and sharing the projects. Firing up the charitable organization and trying to work with greasy, hard nosed, opinionated, intense and humourless humans is the best thing I've ever done.......and the other guys will...

What kind of road situations are you in? Gravel? Pavement? Hills? My M135 with NDT's can get stuck on flat ground if there is ice underneath the snow. Well mounted tire chains must be right near the top of the best list for slow trips but like you said, even tanks slide on ice...

I stumbled on another jeep style mower from a supplier in PA. https://www.quadratec.com/ This looks like more affordable fun. https://www.quadratec.com/products/42500_100_T.htm?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=lowerfunnel

Leaky G749 transmissions I sent a seal kit down to Rustystud so if he's opened it, he might be able to tell you if that seal is part of the kit...and what size it is. It might even be this one but I can't see a part number on it so we still have some info to gather. Turning to this page, we...

Leaky squeeky G749 weekly Welcome to the site. I should be able to find a part spec for you, we just need to be sure what we're looking for. Is it N? 7411666......that's a devil of a part but let's nail down what you need. If you're tearing it down yourself we should find a seal kit for you...

The skidsteer works well on uneven ground or a slope so it's good to find a landscaper that isn't busy. That assembly is heavy so be careful. I saw this crazy video years ago and managed to find it for you. Since you're on a slope, all you need to do is tie the engine to the rotor from your...

Mini Beep Struck Company Looks like the new style mini beep company will stop production on June 1st, 2018. Here are a few articles about the 1967 Popular Science magazine info and a neat little documentary about the dozer style mini-beep. http://struckcorp.com/1967-mini-dozer-rebuild/...

Did you ever get a weight on the 1100 20 tire? They're heavy! Two of us did a tilt and lift onto the tailgate of my pick up and made it look easy so must be around that 200lb. weight.....maybe less. Nice progress, sending you a PM so click on that orange flashing box at the top when you can.

1st Jeep This old thread has a great title for several reasons so I'll bump it, start with the "Mini Beep", then talk about Future Steel Soldiers. My New Years resolution and 2018 best laid plan included working on projects that I currently have and not taking on any new tasks. Then the phone...

Post Accident Procedure Simply Made Enjoyable And Relaxing Somehow, with all the rescue services on site and the towing company giving my buddy a ride home, he didn't get the insurance information from the other party. We've spent 3 days, at the police station, towing company, on the phone...

It's cold, it's hot, it's cold Speaking of melting down, we warmed up enough to escape the bunker and get out to the G749 farm. Goose fired up real nice after sitting in the deep freeze for a few weeks, just an amazing truck. I was going out just to remove batteries but it was a beautiful...

2018 Safety Reminder Just received this picture of my buddy's 2001 Toyota Four Runner Limited that T-boned a jeep at highway speeds last night. He's ok....the other vehicle ran a stop sign and my very sharp, fire fighter, situational aware friend never saw it. As per training, he helped three...
