    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    White Un trucks Great picture of the mechanic in the Catman pose. I see where he gets his name. The M135 is the only vehicle I drove in the bush without brakes. We were careful and respected hills and stopping distances and never really pushed it...... We select low range, point it down hill...

    My GMC, a little update

    Four wheel Drive You'll need a 4x4! Finished the roof in the dark last night with 50mm of snow in the forecast. We shoveled the snow off Saturday, stripped, flashed, caulked, vented, insulated, tar papered and shingled in the only three days of summer I had left. Started snowing this morning...

    Banjo fitting not sealing

    Crush washers My veteran mechanic says he replaces every copper crush washer, every time he touches one. They are all you have between DRIP and Dry. Have not heard of a replacement material yet but you'd think with the polymer 'everything' on the market we would find something better by now...

    The new look of my Dodge M880

    880 grill killer Who is your little friend stuck in the grill. It looks like you hit a chicken, or you got tinkerbell's legs danglin' off the brush guard. Nice truck, my mopar buddy would eat 350 chevy's with his 318 back in the late 70's. What motor does your truck have........that it needs...

    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    Tune up G749 Last time I saw Catman he had a glass of wine in his hand and a grin from ear to ear singin' Hotel California. Well........ it's the last time I remember seeing him.

    2600mile recovery :)

    M923a2 I found the TM's for the M923 on the net and we need to get a copy to your mechanic. She's already got the IP, troop seats and cover figured out so it's not like she needs it but it's good to know it's available. I'm guessing this is her truck and you get the old one? I need to get...

    HMMWV In Sandy's Snow!

    Snow Wheeling It's a relief to hear that folks got through this and with such great spirit, glad you're ok. A friend grabbed a bunch of Milcots (Milverado) at an auction and spared one for a training toy out in the bush. He saved a bunch and decided to beat one that had previously been...
