Spin on fuel filter mod. Giving the M1010 another option so thought I'd bump the post and share the part numbers and prices. The truck was modified by the PO with the help of Steel Soldiers. Something like GP relay, Doghead starter relay, electric fuel pump, 12 volt alternator, cut-off switches...

Now we're talking! You do have rifle holders, that'll be handy to hold a stack of beer, seeing that we don't have any guns. Tell us if that M211 has CDN on the data plate. I have a M211CDN which is close to complete and if you have one, then Canada is covered. Looking forward to photos and the...

I will get to an MVPA convention some day but we do have 3 local Alberta boys down there. If anyone wants to have some fun, I'll PM their names to you and we can harass them for not being solid members on Steel Soldiers. One of them is a great big LEO so the pest in me wants to do more but they...

Goose leaks and Goose Bumps We're running 30wt non-detergent cheap oil. I might use this as an opportunity to test some products. Gumming up the transmission at this point, with the noise, rattles and silverish oil won't be too big of an issue.....besides, Section 8 army dismissal, not section...

It does appear that you can get some re-manufactured parts for the CCKW family. The hunt is one of the tasks that can be a lot of fun when re-building so let us know what you're not finding or need to re-create. The pictures are fine, crooked, sideways or upside down, just appreciate you keeping...

G749 Preservation We had such a great day at the G749 farm I had to share some pictures....but first, some serious business! Goose is continuing to juice and the amount is no longer acceptable. I'd like to wheel down the highway and not have a wrecker on standby so the options are few...

Isn't that a great sounding engine? When I was helping SuperDave with his truck one day, he asked me to fire it up. I started smacking the throttle with my foot to grab some RPM because I couldn't hear the engine running, like in ol' Goose. At 300 RPM you can't hear his run in his "Caterpillar...

Nov. 22, 1956 Are you saying we have day, month and year correct for Mom's birthday? Nov. 22, 1956? I thought it was groovy when the first 6x6 I looked at had my Dad's Day and Month correct. 3 / 16...56. He was born in 1927 but having the exact date, that would top it. We need your skill set...

Road trip, flotsam trip,.....If you need help packing, the return flights to Canada are only $800.00.....never mind, just book me one way. Where's the Navy when you need em? I don't have any personal experience hauling away from there but I'm guessing there are not a lot of options. Hawaii...

M1010 parades One of the great things about this hobby is meeting the 'new' ranks that are also inflicted with the green addiction. Life is full of surprises. I knew I'd be meeting an M35A2, running in a parade in Onoway, representing and carrying the local legion. I didn't know we'd be joined...

M135 Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Sounds like you've got most of the parts and pieces to build yourself the cadi of deuces. I'll bet the tall rack meant that truck hauled a fair bit of family warmth over the years. I wonder if the previous owner has any pictures of it working in it's after...

Give up some details on the route you're taking now. There's help in Quesnel and Valemont and don't be surprised to see some big green iron along the East route. http://www.cariboo6x6.com/ Cariboo 6X6 5938 Highway 97 South Quesnel BC

Wish I had a lowboy! Do you need to run a lubrication fuel additive with the ultra low sulfur diesels in that motor? Lets hope it's something simple but keep up on the situation reports when you can. Your location updates are most important.

We're ambidextrous, Metric came in slowly in the 70's so baby boomers have a grasp of both systems. The lumber industry is mostly imperial but has both measurements and a 2x4 is 39x89mm, silly......That did not make life easier so a lot of the industry never changed. It was only a few years ago...

When you log in there is a "Remember Me" box next to the sign in box. Click on the box each time you log on and the problems go away. A five year old can figure out how to post pictures on the site so I went and got a five year old to show me how to get into the "Go Advanced" box at the bottom...

June 6 Stony Plain Parade This is the lady driven BMW that doesn't shift as good as the M135. Don't buy a beamer, buy an early deuce. An under hood picture of the Canadian Military G-wagon. The Gama Goat A nice Willys that stopped for ice-cream. Some styling MV Owners Home Sweet...

1207 We'll get the thread back on track by putting up a picture of another truck with a 1207XXX stamped on the frame. The one on the right looks like an M220 but is actually an M207, possibly unique to Canada. Do you have data plates on that truck that say M211? CDN? The M207 ran the same...

Stony Parade

Stony Plain Farmers Day Parade The Stony Plain Parade Highlights: The Stony Plain Legion were amazing hosts. 6 months of organizing to an amazing finish line meal, great folks. We were very close to the front of a 1 1/2 hour long parade. The Feds sent a Mercedes to join us and after the event...

M135 troop seats Looks like 3 hairs over 81" at the top and bottom of the old original racks. Goose had a new Ash board put on by my kid and even though he left 4 original boards on it, we're a shade under 81". Somewhere between a hair and a shade around 81". You can see how the end of the...
