The numbers are hard to imagine which makes this topic real interesting. To put it into a perspective I can understand better, would that be equal to lifting 4,859 deuces?
Atomic Cannon Nuke Truck
A fellow Steel Soldier member invited me to the desert to go shooting. I knew I'd passed the initiation test when I made it out with these pictures.
As per the other thread this gear sits near the Yuma Prooving Grounds and I'll add the info signs that go with them.
MV Night Photos
Can you give us some info on which camera you use and a little detail on setting/exposure times.
Really like to learn more about this.
That's a beautiful shot and I'm learning to capture MV's in pictures but at night they usually turn out like this.
G749 Starter
I have a picture of an NOS starter that you had that traveled across the continent so I could post a picture that everyone could see.
There's a fairly good pic on page 42, post #417 on this link........ http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?52255-G749-preservation/page42...
M1010 lift
The Previous Owner lifted this 1010, 4" front 3" rear and had 33" mud terrains on it when it came home.
I found a special on some 35" then dropped it back on the originals for that parade look.
There are other CUCV's with bigger rubber so anything is possible. High CG will produce...
That is just a great, intense yet very calm recovery. Tanks for sharing that and getting us a tank.
Could I interest you in bringing it up to Canada for a weekend?
This is a premiere link to everything Military Firetruck. Hours of reading, pictures and a little history. Some dead links but very well done by the OP.

M135 gmc
It's a Dave day so I'll kick in SuperDave's 1952 M135.
Ingenious opportunity to see an abundance of great trucks all on one thread.
I was very honored to have a nomination so Thank You and lets give back da love with some MV eye candy.

Good eye spotting that hairline. Another thing to add to the list during maintenance checks.
Should be lots of those pans around but maybe not if the trucks were put away wet. If you can't find one locally and decide on a swap I can ship you one.
Gives me some incentive to mothball the parts...
You drove from Kelowna to Vancouver Island? In a Deuce? On the ferry?.....and how did I miss that trip?
........ If you found repair.....ability for a Deuce in Kelowna you're already a step ahead and very lucky so here's to hoping it continues.

We have some BC contacts that may chime in...
Jeep truck MV
The boys that don't check the Early Deuce Forum are going to be real sad they missed this. You're hiding things and not telling us what you're doing so you may need to get that girl in "members rides" or "MV spotted".
Tell me what you know about it? Did it serve? I have access to...
Great ride. Twenty years ago we wouldn't have been able to come along so real glad you waited til now so we could.
Huge build, kinda like trying to make a DUKW out of a G749. Very inspirational, thanks.
Welcome to Steel Soldiers neighbour.
You have my attention Jeremy. First, I need to thank you for keeping the past and secondly for triggering my memory.
I thought I saw "Ontario Regiment" on some family documents and your post made me dig back through some files.
I don't have my head around...
G-749 Instructions
I started printing pdf's and building a shop book but it's just easier having the manuals.
The selection in the photos mostly came from http://www.portrayal.com/
Search terms like "G-749 manuals" "M135 TM" "M211 TM" "M220 parts" "M135 parts" will net you different surprises...
Early Deuce Transmission Fluid Flavor
..........If your transmission has 1st, 2nd & reverse but will not shift into 3rd or acts like it is shifting into neutral, the 3-4 clutch pack is toast..............
Sturmy got me.....Must be a short-cut typo, similar to using "prolly" for "probably"...
K18 gmc
Spotted this one in Dawson Creek on the way to Alaska in 2012. The stickers on it give it away.
I still have some defrost deflectors for an Early Deuce sitting here PB so if you drive that up here so I can see it, I'll give them to you.....or PM me an address and I can send them. You...
Like the Deuce, the seats and real interested in seeing how the restraints mount.
The days of riding unrestrained in a deuce are over. Nice to see it done better.
