G749 Adventures
One of the best things about Steel Soldiers and the MV hobby is meeting people that help you find parts and spend your money.
Popacom was good enough to help arrange for a package of carb kits and points to be delivered. Another contact from the MVPA led me to a place called...
Battery choice G749
We all have the same cracks on our steering wheel coating, Notice that I said coating!! I'm hoping somebody can find a few pallets of G749 steering wheels in their barn.
That's a nice cab. We cleaned up our paint using a toxic product called 'goof off'. Put some polish to...
Take a look through this link. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/archive/index.php/f-18.html
It has all the thread titles so you might find your answers easier.
Google "G749 brake cylinders" and you will find new ones on-line, not sure about kits. I'll get you a picture of our battery set-up...
Depending on the timing of our first snowfalls, 3' of ice is very common from Edmonton north.

Our Canadian site, which is usually easy to use, thorough and accurate, had the Yuma airshow on March16th...

A little tough to stay positive after that but ....as for the OP's original post, 12 wows in a row, a twelve wow row, twelve wow. Thank you!

Nothing unusual here, just a couple of Ski-Deuce out on a lake.
Good to see them up and being used Dave.
Anytime you get a chance to show us pictures
from the Great White North it's always a pleasure.
Just like a five hundred thousand piece puzzle, one piece at a time. Still have some hard tops up here on 8 donor trucks that will never be saved.
It's an option.
When you find the soft top set-up check and see if more are available, I must have a soft-top.
The original blades can be found online sometimes, trico u778. As for the arms, I'm not certain but we can follow-up . . Anco SS-150 or Trico AL-60 ..
We need to find you a donor truck. I've got a few up here if you're stuck. Keep the pictures comin'
Thought I could google "transfer case" in images but don't see it. T-138 was close, but ya got me...... cool. Any story with it that might help?
Somebody will recognize it.
Here's some more TC discussion http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59654-M818-Transfer-Case-Upgrade-T-138-to-T-1138
It has a cocky grin on it in one picture, never noticed that before. It must have liked the bath.
What better tribute could you give an old Deuce than to recover it with a premium wrecker, good call.
The first 187 pages of TM 9-8024 covers operations of practically everything on the truck as...

Thank you for deciding to share them.
Starting your own ""G749 Fleet pictures" thread is one way to get your pictures and truck info all on one post.

Lots of info online for searches with "CCKW TM's" "CCKW transfer case" add the word "conversion" and we can research for a decade.

Lots of private guys have manuals, parts and experience with changing drive-trains so maybe some of them will jump in with their stories.

Not sure if we're hi-jacking the thread but I don't have any fighters buzzing me. Gotta say Thank You for the C-130, wow.
