    FMTV Pre-Production Prototypes

    Someone on facebook got it or a sister to it. I don't have the shop to bring these two trucks back unfortunately. They're for sale in the classifieds as a "best offer" more for the sake of preserving them.

    FMTV Pre-Production Prototypes

    Sounds like they've got time to share stories. I'll bring the sweat tea if they've got the rocking chairs on the porch. Lol.

    FMTV Pre-Production Prototypes

    A general update on these two trucks. I've made some headway as to preserving them by cleaning them up and sorting VFD parts from the mil-spec parts stowed away in nearly every crevice of these trucks. Both trucks were indeed made before the "M" designator was issued to each type of vehicle...

    Home Depot 383 tan too peachy/pinky. Alternative code?

    The older stuff is likely sun faded or at least has always been that way from surplus. You may need to make some samples and go from there.

    FMTV Wrecker towing adapters

    Correct, they're only useful for the M1089 stinger to lift non-lmtv vehicles (M35, M939, etc) as the FMTVs dont need anything to connect to the stinger. That being said I'm interested.

    I believe you are correct.

    Aloha from a newby

    Remove the bumper and there is a one way valve on that air line that is commonly faulty. It shouldn't vent any air ever. If you need one I could USPS flat rate you one if no on else can ship it reasonably.

    Transmission controller question

    I have a few rebuilt units on the shelf from Transmission Instruments. I feel it's not worth the hassle of diving into since the work is fairly priced and comes with a 2 year warranty.

    Buying a MK23...Am I making the right decision?

    I believe he's confusing the requirement for antique age registration vs FMV registration which are separate things. Where are you located in Texas? We need a city as per site rules. Also Gig'em! 12'

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month October 2020

    Why vote Seabee Auger? It's a rare and unusual truck from a service branch that isn't known for their wheeled vehicles It's an officially sanctioned setup by the US NAVY It's not only nice looking but ready to work - not a "hanger queen"!! Who doesn't like the Seabees? M925 Seabee Auger Truck...
