    New from Vancouver, BC

    You got lucky stumbling in here by accident, I was forced onto the SS site after some guy made me buy his M1010. Good to see another West coast resident on board. You have some brothers out there so be sure to meet with the local MVPA. http://www.westerncommand.com/ IF I was an exporter in the...

    Dude, you smoked a deer with the guy you left your dog with, your boarder at the border. Isn't he the horder that can't keep it in oarder or the deer smokin' snow boarder? Glad you're safe. Good thing you weren't drivin' the Dodge!!!!

    Buying a M1010 as an overland expedtion vehicle

    I've done a few cross country trips but never South of Mexico. If something breaks, you want parts, so take the vehicle you can support. Are you jungling it in the bush or jingling it through towns, City's and other tourist areas? Can you take napa with you or find Chev parts on the road? No...

    M211 Windshield

    Texas is a long way to deliver a window frame but I like the idea. Hopefully you'll find something close. I now have a spare for my 1956 M135 GMC CDN and that year will work for you as well. If for some reason you don't find one through the 'classifieds' or can't find one locally, let us know!

    Transport 2nd vehicle options. Piggy backing is probably the least favorable option but we're set-up for loading here if you choose to go that way. a) Haul on back Laura and Pickett said you could use the ramp on 132Ave 159st. just down from our shop. We'll need to modify ramp if your deck is...

    After a long run are you feeling any heat off the tires or hubs? Some guys touch each hub and tire with the back of their hand to monitor temps after a long run but I get my cheek right down there and kiss the wheel and axle nuts. Had to be rescued with boiling water once when I forgot what the...

    can the multifueler be jammed into an m135?

    38 1/2" Rad to Firewall, Too small for a multi fuel but just right for a 6.2 or 454.

    Great pictures Sean. The Memorial Highway picture means a lot to all of us! Thanks. I see in the pictures you're on the white line or just inside the white line with your passenger wheel while cruisin' down the highway. Is that "White Line Fever" or are you actually awake and aware of the...

    M211 Holley 885-FFG rebuild help.

    2012 G749 Carbs Besides dried out or shrunken rubber parts, leaving a washer or a seal at the bottom of the hole is the only thing that I have seen go wrong. There are a few SS carb links in the search but can't find anything solving this. The CARB guru's will chime in. Some things just...

    I was going to say something, but......... If we stand one SSean on top of another SSean he stands about 12' 6" tall with his driving shoes on. Put that beside the trailer and the top rail on that trailer must be a foot higher then SSeans upper Ball-cap. That will be 13'6" which is legal in...

    can the multifueler be jammed into an m135?

    My truck was previously registered in Alberta in 85'. That made the process simple. If you're lucky enough to get one previously registered you're laughing. Out of Province or Salvage inspections may be required if the vehicle is imported or wrecked. The demand comes from the insurance company...

    Welcome to the jolly green giant. A lot of great guys I work with come from Truro, Parrsboro and Economy Mountain area. One of them has some schmokin' ocean front property looking onto the bay. Nice country to drive a deuce in, wow. I can tell you that it's 34" between the frame rails at the...

    Ice Road Trucker Take your time coming back. Started snowing at 800hrs and finished at noon with 200mm on the ground in the North End, 170mm South. Back in Fort Mac., you have 78% humidity with highs of -18c and lows of -31c. That truck is going to fight you all the way home. Not because...

    M135 recovery in CA.

    Like Chief919 said, that may be one of the first. I was curious about the serial numbers and started a search on the G749. Here's a 2009 post with some familiar names and one post talking about a 082 number on his data plate...
