Add me to the ever growing list please Sir! Gainesville, FL.

Very nice truck! Welcome to the site & the Green Iron Laughing Academy. The gasket making is an old trick from guys years go who didn't have access to NAPA or the gaskets were just not available. An older guy I worked with showed me how to do it on antique outboards, but it works for everything...

Welcome from sunny Florida. Great looking truck you have there; it should also have electric wipers if it is in the year range 87-89. The pintle is an Air Force thing for what ever reason they added them. Did your truck have a complete VIN plate on it? Those are sometimes removed or disfigured...

That makes two of us for your needed specs on a running M-1078 (or M-1079) LMTV. Good luck on your future purchase, soon hopefully!

Your work is shaping her up nicely, keep posting some more pictures as you go.

Good looking truck; welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy. You addiction has just started in earnest.

Very good looking truck! Enjoy it here in the Sunshine State!

Glad to hear that your fuel donations were of a kind matter; in my neighborhood, it would have turned out less than well, good situation...which I deplore. Locking fuel tank caps are your friend, unless you lose your key!

A few years ago. I had the mice pull insulation out of my workshop & move it 50' to the new truck. There they plugged up the blower fan with insulation & built a large nest of sticks & insulation on top of the engine. It took quite abit of work to clean out the insulation from the duct work & to...

I got a picture of the Deuce on my phone from him, so I think the deal is done. Again, he needs to post these things since it is his truck & a new comer here. The truck looks very good from my view, so we can wait a day for some pictures. He got it & drove it home with no issues other than...

I have those TM's printed out & in notebooks for myself & will pass the information along to him!

His questions that I couldn't answer were about the air shifter for the front axles & whether the rear differentials are limited slip or locked together all the time. I don't know enough to inform him on these issues of the late 60's Kaiser-Jeep trucks. My AM General Deuce has the air shifter...

I have a friend who is a new member here that is buying his first time Deuce. The truck is a Kaiser-Jeep unit with clear Florida title that runs well according to the owner. It has 15K miles, a hard top, rebuilt brake cylinders with one still seeping, a new clutch pressure plate, good tires (w/...

Welcome aboard! Now days, just finding a good truck is a stroke of luck. Buy one you can afford & try to have a knowledgable MV owner look @ it before signing the paperwork. The mileage on the speedo is never really known, just as all the guys in prior posts stated; you just hope it is correct!

I bought my 1987 Deuce w/ a 465 LDT multifuel engine totally stock from day one. The only thing I will do is to change the fuel & oil filters as needed, do all the maintenance necessary & keep her as AM General built her. Okay, a 12v converter to power the cell phone, a rifle holder to lock the...

The P-47 model plane dive bombing it is a nice touch also! Great display of parts n pieces...

Welcome aboard, stow your gear & get ready for a new way to spend your money & your time in the Green Iron Disease Hobby!

I wondered about that also, but you can buy a lot of drip pans for the price of one oil puddle fine from the environmental inspectors. Thanks for clearing that thought up!

Very nice Big Rig to start with. Hope you didn't have to change the shredded tire in the cargo area! Welcome to the madness & git to reading up on yur TM's!

Welcome from Sunny cool Florida! Now come on over & enjoy the madness!
