    trouble searching

    Wowzer Doctor Search and Deuce Clinto, I stretched my resources and still haven't found a hot link to 'online' P-4 Oshkosk manuals. This may be a dead end hunt but I thought I could find them somewhere. I've been through most search terms using p-4, m1500, arff, crashtruck, oshkosh, firetruck...

    trouble searching

    That actually worked well glassk thanks. There was some info that the p-4 shared the same drive-train as the front load cement trucks. Still checking that. I also found out the trucks were called M-1500 in the civi world so I searched the term ""M-1500 oshkosh technical manuals"" I found some...

    trouble searching

    Information on specific trucks Prior to buying, lots of guys find a truck/jeep/tank/ship, then start searching for information on comparative prices, parts availability, popularity, weight, length, history, how to insure/ register and all the goodies that make a purchase more explainable to the...

    hot rod deuce and half

    G749 Survival With more interest in diesel and little interest in the GMC over the past decade compounded by transmiSSion/ manifold issues the trucks were getting ignored, crushed, sent away. Effort to preserve even a few parts is getting more important. Some day the only thing left will be a...

    m211 purchase - front drive shaft missing.

    I can't answer all the questions yet but will get back to ya. A running deuce, well re-built, splash paint job sold for 8G here recently. I invested close to 12G getting mine road ready because I hired mechanics to do some of the heavier work. I'll never get that back unless I find a guy with...

    Early Deuce Parts and Numbers I can't help with the bumper numbers but I'd bet you a beer you'll get your answer from someone else. If you're just looking for part numbers that is easy. Upgrading the membership on Steel Soldiers is required to run a "Parts wanted" add in the...

    Rust control

    My fishin' cousin, Captain Clive from Spokane would be mad if I didn't back-up a neighbor. It's your fourth post so Welcome to Steel Soldiers and lets be sure we can see those photos. How are you trying to load pics? There is a problem with pic loading using some schmart phones so I still use...

    "Marble in blender" sound

    What does it say in the manual......:lol: The G749 has a noise trouble shooting section but I know nothing about your iron. My last rattle on the M135 was a lawn chair in the back. Stopped a dozen times and laid underneath...wheels chocked.... drove me nuts so I checked every nut I could find...

    A GMC Deuce looks good beside a Mutt so you're going to have a nice looking fleet. I'm just missing a Mutt. arrrooooooo Here's a little window info http://www.steelsoldiers.com/archive/index.php/t-39533.html ... Looks like it's time to do some metal fabricating. We'll need to dig a little for...

    Is that a Mutt? Welcome to the smooth ridin' club and the saintly shifts of the hydromatic. You jumped on at a good time with a new Steel Soldiers search link on the top right that has never worked better. Type in M135 Wheel Cylinders or M211 Wheel Cylinders and a few links should lead you to...

    Deuce Winch Stump Pulling

    I could sell those! That is sweet. Have you ever tried a cable under-cut? We dig a trench around three sides of a tree 3' deep, fill it with water and let it soak for a day, drop a 3/4" cable around it and pull with cats or bobcats, loaders and tractors but a deuce should work. The cable...

    270 GMC engine rebuild tips wanted

    Those cabs are beautiful. I'd give my left wheel nut for one like that. Thank you for not chopping it up more and jam a big block in there, with a blower and a green intake sitting just high enough above the hood for the butterflies to work...and lowered with a 3" chopped top with stacks coming...

    An American Deuce in Canada

    Full size sleeping accommodations and still room for 2 moose on the deck, yes sir some boys will be jealous. How would you get a moose on the back? Even Bullwinkle would have a hard time. I have a slightly soot covered 2 1/2 ton electric crane I tore off a dump deck I bought. Do you need a...

    M4 Sherman being delivered on Monday!

    I'll give you a Canadian $20 if I can touch it. That is a labor of love price, cheap. When the company you hire wants it as bad as you do things go well. I had that same support when I found Eco Friendly Soda Blasting and a retired Canadian soldier that owned it. He gave me his thoughts on...
