Thank you Gama Goat 1. So if no military vehicle is to be titled and registered for on highway use how will all the fire departments, rescue and police tag there surplus equipment for on road? Will they all have to get rid of them? Will there be a fire sale in Colorado from all the police...

Your sewing reminds me of my dad. He had training as a parachute rigger during WW11. He made canvas patches to our tents just like this when I was a kid. Those old Singers just keep on going and tough as heck. Thanks and good work!

My take is that in the time of these vehicles, if it had no winch on the front, the headlights were mounted low and the upper position was for an electric horn on the right side with the small military " low light output" lamp on the upper left side. If it did have a winch, which was somewhat...

Howdy and welcome from Northern Colorado. Let us know how things go with your pick-up/EUC. Be interested as well regarding your Colorado Title process and results. Lots of things have been changing in that area.

Howdy from Colorado, Just south of Laramie. Whats up with your CUCV?

Sooo cool! Now thats a good use for a deuce. Thanks

I presume you are asking about possible failure of a radial tire if its used to running in one direction for thousands of miles and then rotating it in the opposite direction for possibly thousands of additional miles. While bias ply (NDCC etc) tires likely would not have a problem with this...

It appears to be refining the definition of the terms "Historic Military Vehicle" and "Surplus Military Vehicle" as to the ability to legally operate it on Highway or restrict that vehicle to off highway use. It is confusing as it also has some sort of exemption for HMMWV. It appears to me...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Take your time and enjoy everything about the truck. Echoing what others have said, include the family, it will pay dividends. before and after documentation/photos are always a plus.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado.

Hello and Welcome from Colorado. Boyce should be able to provide you with a vehicle that will provide you good service with minimal headaches. In the meantime you could read here on this site a variety of the Technical Manuals related to the deuce. Even the Operator Manual could give you...

Talk about a teaser! Can't wait to see and hear the latest on the Taj. Always inspirational.

was the m48 gas only or did some eventually get the multi-fuel diesel?

In the cab is a trolly brake mainly used during hooking and unhooking the trailer. The activation is from lever on a long stalk, off the steering column. definitely not to be used as a parking brake with the engine off. the "air line" hook ups for a towed trailer via the pintle and another...

had any luck on the side panels? Or the other miscellaneous items you wanted? Looking pretty good so far and you seem to be making good time.

Great thread. Thanks for starting it. I would love to have an M118 for my M275. Sadly, next to impossible to find one. Will be following this with a lot of interest.

You would think that for that kind of money and all the other work that was done the builder would have separated the rear axles farther apart. would not take much of a rock or flex in the suspension to do major damage to tires/suspension/drivetrain. basically an awesome looking hangar queen...

I am sorry to hear of his passing. Thank you for letting us know. Please share my condolences with your family.

I would have thought you would still need to rebuild the angled ends of the truck frame where the ramps come off as the pivots are directly above that on the dump frame. Perhaps the 818 ramps are attached to the frame differently than my m275. not that a bit of frame welding would be too much...
