It requires more bumping,
Thank you
G749 pics
Sean011, we should find a spot below wandering river, half way between us and make it happen. I can get you the MVPA info that they have to date but there's usually something going on most weekends. August will be nuts with a few antiques heading up to the Alaska highway.

NDT's
I agree Seaty, switching to NDT's is kinda like pullin' on the old shorts with the holes and the sandals that are worn out and broken at the strap.....but 'just feel right'.
I honestly think the front end feels lighter. The truck is happy, even on a 'dry steer' she seems easier to turn...
NDT Tire Balance
After hearing the "balance the front tires" scenario from 135GMC and others I finally got the chance to get it done.
It almost feels like a step back removing front radials and going to NDT's but for some reason I need to experience what the 'previous pilots' of these units...
G749 Airpak
Have you had a chance to run through the TM's, available here....
MilitaryTrucks.ca - Welcome!
and see the removal, schematic and trouble shooting for the airpak?
It seems the 5 ton airpak rebuild kit has all but 2 "seals" and I'm hoping everyone having trouble will solve the...
Cckw
You must smile every time you walk out your door. That is a beautiful truck.
Welcome to the obsession.
Your link ...... 1944 GMC CCKW 352 - 'A Short Drive Out' - YouTube ........ kept me from my responsibilities for hours because it ties in with hundreds of other CCKW links...
1500 mile recovery
Congratulations :beer:
Not even going to ask how your butt is.....How's the truck?
Our convoy Scout took some great video.....i'll get them up in a few days.
I think everyone deserves a "post trip" be-briefing and up-dated "what to bring" list.....when you wake up.
Let's...
Spring 2012
Well looky there. It's been a while since they let me go shopping so I have not seen that funky shut-off switch before.
How much and where'd you get it?
Looks like a KEYED switch......I must have one. I'll take an interlook for them, very cool.
Are you planning to take it in the...
250 miles to go
The 5 ton is headed North. Had a great day with seemingly amazing timing from Cummins on the repair for ....what did Sean call it..... oh ya the ..*^%^%*&*&^^%&*##$$$.....
Thanks for sharing that beast with us, thought you'd like a few photos.
We'll celebrate when you're home...
Hungry Hippo
In all the beatings that you took you still managed to load and haul rubbers up to li'l ol me in Edmonton. I can't thank you enough for going out of your way to haul 6 NDT's up for me.
Thanks Sean, Shauna
Got a few cloud shrouded pics yesterday but none that really show how big...

1956 GMC M135, very nice. Here's another one......we'll need to compare vins and Birthdates. Mine came out on March 16, 1956.
I meet the MVPA tomorrow at noon in Edmonton and I'll ask about winch components.
You're welcome to come.

Dana 60 neglect/remedy
The main reason to read the Technical Manuals TM's and follow Preventative Maintenance PM's is captured in the photos below.
A few photos of a Dana 60 tear-down and the results of water and time.
M1010 Dana 60 parts list
Finally found a chance to adventure into the front diff and ordered up some parts.
Our 'parts guy' and previous M1010 owner are still involved in her existence and provided a great, complete list of parts to maintain or replace....after driving it in a lake.
The lists...
Incident action
I always hope the same support is displayed to those who make a mistake, as is to those who are successful.
When an incident happens where I work we fill out an incident report, correct the actions, inform everyone and try to do better.
What process will this pilot go...
