This is what has me upset auaauaaua and I am looking for a filler pump to do this during my next working round. In normal field operation, or even in a nice clean workshop, how you fill to exactly 1/2" below the level plug? Certainly does not make for quick and efficient working. Why not make a...

Any change of sharing those videos? Love to have a copy of that.

Somehow that Peterbilt looks out of proportion and small, maybe because of the pick-up bed. Removing one axle and shortening it did not help lower the weight enough? Thanks for the explanation

A guy who also has a lot of stuff on Willies and knows a lot is Joop Staman in the Netherlands (last three pics). He bought a lot of jeep surplus material decades ago. He also regularly ships to the USA. Ditto Reomie (first two pics). Some pics added from jeeps I saw in the Netherlands. Most if...

Mine costs around $210 (blame a bad exchange rate, it is 150 Eur). Shipping would be possible, but I am afraid they only have green, not tan. Although green is original for my truck, I would not mind having a tan soft top and cover. It certainly looks very fitting on your truck.

OK. Enough is enough. Time for one or all of you to enlighten a cold logical thinking European about some, shall I say "weirdness" in American law and in behavior? :wink: :cookoo: 1) How the friggin h*ll do you manage to get a Pete 379 (nice trucks, would love to have one) declassified as a...

Thanks for the offer; working with your left still on would be more helpful through ;) ;) As to a metal shop with stuff, I think that once the truck is in the Czech Republic, I have all I need, actually out-sizing and out-aging the truck needs and seniority. My stepson is a blacksmith working...

Great pics, thanks. What are those bows made off, just bent metal tubes? My new canvas soft-top was just folded and packed in plastic, no talcum in sight. Looked like the real military NOS

The Kenworth is great and the PLS shows that at least with the really big boys it existed. Back to basics: did anybody ever made the conversion for real with an M35 or M39 (or other 5-ton truck), especially using the existing dump hoist system for it?

One for sale here, maybe not the only one. Price about 18K, not counting shipping. No connections with seller, only passing on info I know about. youtube-1 youtube-2

Did anybody ever made a dump truck into a hydraulic hook-lift hoist container truck? Some friends brought that up here. For all kind of work, especially home rebuilding - these small container trucks are very popular. With the hydraulics for the dump already installed, it should be relatively...

Please don't say that, it immediately had my mind reeling with jokes! In the Czech language, a Robertek (or little Robert) is the official nickname for a vibrator although it first (historically) was used as a medical tool for/against hysterics. :jumpin::jumpin:Well, vibrating a 10-ton...

Yes please, would be good to have. Thanks

Bjorn, your pic 7 top of page, the XM757 has its rear wheels up in a strange way. Do these machines have the option to raise rear wheels to save fuel?

Actually, there are a few more than four. They have the five in bad condition standing there, than the restored one standing separate in the pictures above. And off course the two restored with trailers attached. Not sure what is standing on top of the one trailer, and not sure what...

Born, that looks neat. I will have to find some old canvas or just buy a few meters of new stuff, not that expensive. Jake0147, saw your post after I replied; did not refresh the page in time. That's the super quick and dirty trick. I am using simple plastic tarps for that now in a similar way...

How does the WardLaFrance M746 relate to the Ford MX757 truck apart from both being 8x8? One an upgrade of the other or completely different beasts? Were they used for Pershings as well or just heavy heavy hauling? Saw a couple of those on my last trip.

Thanks for the info, I will get some bows and drill some holes myself then, probably will help prolong the life of the top

What is the scrap price in your area now? I could use one as my toy to play around one while in the USA

MacGowan, These bows from the rear frame to the top of the front window (your first pic), which keep the soft top up, are these standard or home-made? My truck has a soft top but no bows. The new canvas OD-colored soft top I bought also did not included them.
