    M101 Broken Shock Mount, Help!

    You could drill a hole, tap it and secure the shock with a bolt or, weld on a new section of stud.

    M105a2 With 12.00 x 16.5 1061 Tire Photos?

    They are 16.5" rims. HMMWV tires will fit but not sure about load rating.

    Updated trip, FL to MD then over to Ohio and MI, then back to south Florida

    That wire mesh pallet looks like it should become part of the trailer where it sits.

    m116a3 parking brake sorta stuck

    Honestly, it would be best to pull the drum off to investigate. It's only a dust cap, cotter pin and the wheel bearing nut

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    It is what it is. There is plenty of documentation to confirm it. I don't think it is a selling point but if someone asks the history of the 6.2, why lie to them? I just don't see the truth as misleading.

    Official '15 Ga. Rally Info thread

    I can now say that the rally is next month. 50 days folks, that's 5-0. Pack it up.

    GP SF97 held hostage and Lies!!!!!!

    That fight was fought without success by your predecessors. As I understand it, the form needs to go to the next owner in this case GP. You would be better off having the SF97 redesigned with a dealer transfer form on it so that it can legally be transferred. Unfortunately, that form is used...

    m105 or Deuce springs

    There have been quite a few folks use the frame section like that. As far as the tires and hub flips, that will all be dependent on the rims that you choose.

    m105 or Deuce springs

    The 105 springs are attached to the side of the frame. If you take the mounts off the trailer and attach them to the deuce frame, the back is going to sit low. If you take the trailer frame and just lop it off in front of and behind the springpack and add that whole section under the deuce...

    Topless is better!

    Mighty big difference there! This moonshot we are peering up at the moon, the rally shot we were peering down!

    ISO Bed on a M35??

    ISO bed is 15'. Can be done, just need to work around that issue. An ISO bed on an M36A2 with a knuckle boom would be pretty nice

    Clunking when turning

    Could it be coming from the back? If so, its a common issue. The springs keep the axles centered but the box on the axle has extra space for articulation. Space equals clunks.

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    Actually, it is like a Detroit Diesel, just not a 2 stroker. Detroit was part of the reason it came about as they were a principle designer and it's similar to the 8.2. If one were to try to describe it, it's like the folks at Detroit chucked an 8.2 and a small block in a blender and hit...

    m1008 and ear plugs

    I wear them on road trips but mostly to pipe music to my head.

    Data plate help

    Google M35A2 data plate turbo to see a pic. I can't attach pics from this phone.

    Data plate help

    Turbo spool down data plate is there on many trucks. I have never seen a 1971 deuce witb a warranty data plate.

    M1008 just saved !

    Thomas Dolby. There is a story behind his name. Nice save, I love the truck. Bottom seat material / covers are available in the classifieds. Wood on troop seats is easily replaced with fiberglass.

    GP vs GL, which do you like better

    There is no evidence in the forum software that shows your post was edited anywhere. Perhaps someone with more tech has a way to do this without evidence, I do not. DRMO was always accomodating for me. No love for either GL or GP.

    New from middle Tennessee.

    Welcome aboard from soggy S Fla. I agree, the rally is a hoot. I'll be there.
